Case Study: McKernan Packaging Clearing House achieves virus-free endpoints and reduced IT overhead with VIPRE

VIPRE Solves Packing Company’s Antivirus Woes

McKernan Packaging Clearing House, a 56‑year supplier of bottles, jars and sprayers with 85 employees and about 75 endpoint users, faced an ongoing security challenge: sales and purchasing reps frequently visited unknown or infected websites, and previous antivirus tools (Norton, CA eTrust) couldn’t keep up with drive‑by and Zero‑day attacks. Seeking a low‑footprint, domain‑friendly solution that actually detected threats in email and web browsing, McKernan chose VIPRE and its enterprise console.

VIPRE was rolled out to all 75 users and delivered centralized management, push installation, real‑time alerts and low client resource usage. The impact was immediate and measurable: VIPRE “blocks everything,” provides warnings within five seconds, and has eliminated the regular re‑imaging and virus cleanups McKernan previously did every two to three weeks. VIPRE also instantly neutralized a Cryptolocker infection, and ongoing administration has been quick, affordable and largely maintenance‑free.
