Step 1: Option 1 - disable GFI Filter
Gfi Endpoint Security Agent
With Vipre Business Premium agent, you get the built in firewall protection. This may not be compatible with some network drivers. Once the installation is finished and you machine reboots, there is no network connection. Under control panel and network connections, locate each connection and under properties, you will see GFI software firewall NDIS IM filter. Uncheck this and your network connection should reappear. If not, try rebooting your machine.

Step 2: Option 2 - install just Business Agent
Within the site properties, you will see agent software. Under agents, you will see VIPRE Business. Check this and now you will be able to choose which agent to install. Installing the Business agent will leave off the firewall protection and not install the GFI software firewall filter. If you connection still doesn't work, you will need to contact GFI support. http://kb.gfi.com/supportphone

- Pimientobrian.augenstein Feb 14, 2014 at 07:21amIf you are having trouble installing a network resource or driver and you are using Windows 8.1 The only answer is to uninstall VIPRE Internet Security 2014, or any other version that incorporates GFI. This is due not only to the GFI settings that do not disengage when you disable the program, but also due to Windows 8.1 services that are set to Manual because they are managed by the program instead of automatic like they are supposed to be. Most notably, the service afflicted is the Windows System Broker. This is to be set to Automatic and VIPRE turns it to manual, and denies access to it. (Which is actually exactly what a virus does when you define the definition of it) Although this will prevent a would be intruder from gaining access, the odds of them using this service for an intrusion are pathetically low because of what they have to do to utilize it. What it becomes is a headache for installing any sort of network resource or driver. You can also attempt to use a .bat (batch command) to make your resource or driver install by opening NotePad and typing the following:
net start DriverInstall
Then save it as manualdrv.bat on your desktop, or somewhere you can easily get to (I recommend making a start menu link if you are using a windows 7 theme) and while your driver is installing, run that batch file as an administrator.
If this does not work, then your only solution is to choose a less intrusive Anti-viral software, something without a firewall or internet security attached to it.
Remember that your Windows OS has a built in and constantly updated firewall. Having another is sheer redundancy and can cause more issues than it prevents. Internet security will also not save you from nasty links and sites on the internet 100% of the time. Most often if you get something that infects your computer, regardless of your protection, it was because you told it to download/install. No anti-viral/protection service in the world will EVER override a user decision. The only way to 100% ensure that you never get a virus is to never connect your computer to the internet and never install anything new on your computer. Since that is simply pure folly, taking reasonable precautions is a good second choice. Locking down your computer with unneeded and overkill type security results in problems such as using the internet, installing resources or drivers, and other issues that are easily avoidable by installing a reasonably supported plain anti-virus, some form of mal-ware removal, and keeping current with your windows updates. - JalapenoBrettGorleyMC Sep 18, 2014 at 04:18pmFrom my experience, Vipre Business Premium does things a bit different than Vipre Internet Security 2014. The System Events Broker is set to Automatic startup (Trigger Start) on all our Windows 8.1 systems- no need to change it to auto. The GFI Software Firewall NDIS IM Filter is still present- so far the only thing I've discovered it interferes with on our network is the use of projecting your display to a remote monitor (Miracast).
I do know with some of our laptop users- if they tell Vipre to NOT trust a network, it stays untrusted even after uninstalling Vipre. Haven't put in a support ticket on that one yet, as the machine that I was having an issue with was due for replacement anyways.
All anti virus packages are intrusive to some degree or another- the question is what trade offs are you willing to make for protection. Vipre is less intrusive than other AV programs I've used. Well, Symantec wasn't that intrusive, but then again it didn't catch a dang thing....I would still recommend Vipre Business Premium as it's so easy to manage everything and does a good job stopping the crud from coming in. I can keep track of my users far better and push out patches to their systems as well.
