"Secure your every bit"
BitDefender works by the words “Secure your every bit”, and that is what BitDefender Internet Security 2009 (and even further BitDefender Total Security) aims to do.
BitDefender Internet Security gives you complete virus and malware protection, firewall, antispyware, as well as antispam and parental control. Protection is in real-time, and along with Kaspersky, BitDefender is one of few Internet security brands that give you hourly updates to make sure your protection level is always completely up-to-date. Additionally, you get BitDefender’s new Gamer Mode, which minimizes security alerts while you are playing games online. Your protection level will still be intact, only operating more silently.
Easy-to-use
BitDefender is a very light product that is easy both to set up and to use. It will not bug down your computer, like some larger brands (for example Norton) are said to do. The BitDefender interface is straight-forward and makes the program easy even for beginners. Integrated virus and spyware scanning is pre-scheduled to run every 24 hours; however, BitDefender lets you schedule your scans at intervals you set yourself or run scans on demand.
When it comes to the BitDefender interface, the main screen gives you a quick overview of the status of your protection. Large icons show you right away if there is a problem; if there is, the normally green icons will turn red. To take care of problems, simply click the Fix This button, or click the specific graphic to get more information. For most users, the default settings will be more than sufficient.
Built-in firewall, antispam & parental controls
BitDefender Internet Security has a built-in firewall that controls the Internet access of various application, at the same time as making your computer invisible from hackers. It also notifies you when computers log in to your Wi-Fi network. The firewall will take note every time you connect to a new network and ask whether you want to put the network in the Trusted or Untrusted zone. Unsecured wireless networks will be put in the Untrusted zone and treated with additional security.
