Features
Bitdefender also cooperates with Windows by monitoring system settings that could be unsafe, and by warning if there are required Windows security patches. Simply maintaining current operating system patches greatly reduces the likelihood that zero-day attacks can prevail. In addition to monitoring potential operating system vulnerabilities, Bitdefender’s vulnerability scanner also alerts you in the case of missing or outdated applications software. No other antivirus suite we reviewed does this.
A few other security features make safety convenient. For example, a USB immunizer blocks potential dangers from flash drives, and a desktop security widget lets you drag and drop files for quick scan checks. Furthermore, to increase the safety of online transactions, there is a dedicated browser that protects against fraud.
Bitdefender also supplements its antivirus capabilities with some of the best privacy protections of any antivirus product. It warns you of dangerous results in Google and Bing searches and blocks you from accessing infected links. It maintains knowledge of websites that have a reputation for scamming and credit card phishing, and blocks your access to them. Bitdefender also protects you on social networks. For example, it monitors your privacy settings and scans any links from Facebook friends. Further privacy features include a file shredder and a personal data filter that prevents data such as your Social Security number from escaping your PC.
Bitdefender Antivirus’ online dashboard allows you to remotely manage the application. A weekly security report lists the issues that Bitdefender has addressed, the apps that have been optimized, along with how much space it has freed up in the process and how much usable storage remains. The software further enhances the user experience in unobtrusive ways. For example, an optimizer utility speeds the system and frees up storage space, a utility not found in most antivirus software. And whenever you are working, playing or watching video, Bitdefender temporarily suspends any applications that might pop up and interfere or slow you down. Another feature that helps the application to be unobtrusive is Bitdefender’s Autopilot ™, which makes expert security decisions without alerts and pop-ups that would require human intervention.
There’s a nicely executed online product help and information wiki on the Bitdefender support center site, with useful topics and clear explanations. The support site also hosts malware and rootkit removal utilities. Bitdefender responds to customer support inquiries by online chat, phone and email 24/7. Very few antivirus companies offer this level of customer service.
