There certainly are a large number of antivirus programs available, and Bitdefender Free Antivirus is one of the more popular free solutions on the market. While paid antivirus software usually features far more options and utilities, this free edition still offers enough protection to keep your computer safe from worms and viruses.
Installation
and setup:
Bitdefender Free
Antivirus is easy to install and use, whether you are highly tech savvy or have
just completed your first computer class. All you need to do is to download the
required setup from Bitdefender website and run it.
AT this
point it’s important to note that a typical installation is recommended for
most users, while custom installation is advisable for advanced users. After the installation ends, it is time for
Bitdefender to take care of your computer.
Bitdefender
Antivirus Free edition features:
- Active virus control
- Real-time Shield
- HTTP scanning
- B-Have
- Intrusion Detection system
- Anti-rootkit
Its Active
Virus control function continuously targets all of your computer's activity, so
it promptly destroys stealth threats. Any
unusual file or suspected malware is locked by Active Virus Control.
Online
search and click-throughs are not always safe and at times you may get
redirected to harmful sites that may infest your computer with malware. But
HTTP scanning and the smart search advisor are two helpful features from
Bitdefender, that can protect your computer from being infected. They work silently as you browse for videos, images,
text, etc.
With
Anti-rootkit, Bitdefender scans and blocks rootkits, a stealth type of
software, that is often malicious and that can hide the existence of certain
programs from normal methods of detection, and enable continued privileged
access to your computer.
Real-Time
shield is one of the most useful features from Bitdefender. For example you have downloaded software or a
file, with Real-time shield enabled, Bitdefender scans it immediately after the
download or when the file is accessed.
The
Intrusion Detection system makes sure that applications trying to access the
internet are not e-threats. Whenever it suspects high-scoring malicious
behavior, it immediately prevents them from running.
Bitdefender
also features Early Boot Scanning and Auto scan, which help you save a lot of
time and effort.
