VIPIR upgrade: Close, but no cigar

Alert reader Greg D. Feezel the Director of Security and IT Risk Management at Snap-on Business Solutions sent us this screen shot, mistakenly concluding that his local weather station used Sunbelt’s VIPRE anti-malware and that they needed to upgrade.

Turns out it isn’t our VIPRE, but rather VIPIR (Volumetric Imaging and Processing of Integrated Radar) software distributed by Baron Weather Solutions that emulates analysis of radar data for television stations.

Greg wins no cigar, but he does get points for being alert for upgrades (something a few tens of millions of IE6 users worldwide would do well to emulate).

Thanks Alex.
