Advanced Proactive Protection from Viruses, Spyware, and More

Proactive Protection from:

• Malware (Viruses, Trojans, Worms, and other threats)
  BitDefender actively protects your PC from all types of malicious code. Web traffic is filtered even before reaching your browser, for a safe and enjoyable web experience. Messaging and peer-to-peer applications are also monitored to help prevent viruses from spreading.
  
  
• Spyware and Adware
  Based on a comprehensive spyware signature database, BitDefender blocks spyware threats in real-time, before they can damage your system. It also monitors dozens of potential "hotspots" where spyware might act, and checks for any changes made to your system and software.
  
  
• Unknown Viruses
  BitDefender has developed B-HAVE (Behavioral Heuristic Analyzer in Virtual Environments), a new technology designed to detect and block new and unknown threats without the need for an update. By analyzing the behavior of potentially malicious software inside a virtual computer, this technology eliminates false positives and significantly increases detection rates.
  
  
• Hidden Threats (Rootkits)
  BitDefender looks for and removes rootkits, malicious programs designed to control your computer, while staying hidden.
  
  
• Phishing Attacks
  Blocks malicious websites trying to trick you into revealing personal information, such as financial data.

Content: Bitdefender is the best antivirus software on the market according to consumer reports and almost every site that reviews antivirus and security programs. The only HUGE problem with bitdefender is their
almost non-existent tech support - email them, try to phone them, create a report on their site - nothing moves these people or person to ever respond. If they would or could wake up their tech support,
this would be an almost perfect anti-viral solution. Here's hoping they flesh out their tech staff.
Summary: great at antivirus, where is tech support?

Content: This has to be one of the best Anti-virus software programs I have purchased. I previously used Norton Antivirus and its suite of applications (the standard deck that comes pre-installed when you buy a new PC) and I never realized how much it slowed my system down. After uninstalling it and installing Bitdefender, my PC starts up almost 1 minute faster and my CPU/ RAM usage is much lower as well. Bitdefender is really easy to install and set up, and even when it is performing a full system scan or deep scan, it is not a resource hog. For the price, you can't go wrong; especially since you can use it on 3 different PCs!
Summary: Excellent AV Software

Content: I've used Norton and for the last several years have had McAfee. The 2-years and 3 PC's protection appealed to me and so far I'm glad that I purchased Bitdefender Antivirus 2008. Easy set up, lets you set perameters. Haven't had it long enough (about 6 weeks) to make an adequate review, but at first blush it's a winner!!!
Summary: So far....so good!
