Open VPX File

A VPX extension file is used by Avast! Computer security software as a data file.

Avast! is an antivirus and Internet security application, widely known for its effectiveness and low cost.

The VPX file may contain virus definitions and update information for the software itself, therefore the VPX file is used to keep the software up to date with the latest protection signatures.
