4. At this point VIPRE will automatically scan your system for any existing antivirus. 

  • If VIPRE does not find any conflicting software then you can proceed to the next step.
  • If VIPRE finds any conflicting software it will prompt you to remove it (Windows 11 Users, DO NOT Use VIPRE to remove your existing anti-virus software, Remove it instead through your Control Panel > Add Remove Programs)
  • If VIPRE is unable to install due to an older antivirus that cannot be uninstalled or is still being detected by the VIPRE installation, you will have to contact the developer of the other antivirus to uninstall their software. 

 

5. VIPRE will now begin installing VIPRE. You will be able to follow along with the progress.
