BitDefender Anti-Virus Plus Review

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus appeals to those who prefer an antivirus that is stronger in performance but simple in usage. Delivering comprehensive security at the advantage of efficient resource utilization and easy usability, the antivirus seems to offer premier protection to both standard and advanced users.

Installation is systematic and quick without a manual reboot to get started. A pre-installation tool starts detoxifying your system before installation. Admiringly, the software uninstalls any incompatible antivirus programs before it is installed. The user interface is truly an improved one with drag and drop modules, no configurations required, and zero pop-ups.

Features

Bitdefender ensures 100% protection against spyware, malware, and various other digital threats by blocking, removing, and neutralizing them. While the e-mail protection allows sending mails and messages safely, the personal data filter prevents your personal and financial information from leaking on social and other sites without your permission.

Browser Protection

The software automatically secures your browser while banking or shopping online. Instead of you making the decisions, the software itself can do so on your behalf by putting it on autopilot. It automatically scans a USB or optical drive along with mails, chats, and sites for protection against several online threats such as viruses and phishing frauds. With a cross-browser module, it scans the Web traffic before it reaches the browser.

File or App Protection

You are bound to enjoy the unrivaled level of security. The Active Virus Control senses and destroys secrecy threats for keeping an eye on application activities as well as suspicious file behaviors. A small incongruity is fine but a few malware-like actions forces the Active Virus Control to lock the app or file. It is simply impossible for any malware to bypass this Control, as the former works in the kernel mode.

OS Protection

Further, the software ensures protection against threats such as rootkits that bypass all the defense mechanisms to penetrate deep into the operating system. Thanks to the Rescue mode that interestingly reboots the system without a CD for cleanup and restoration!

Social Media and Finance Protection

Bitdefender is also capable of monitoring privacy settings on sites such as Twitter and Facebook for blocking any suspicious links sent from within the network. All credit goes to the Anti-fraud Filter that senses such as fraudulent activities along with sites to prevent diversion to fake sites and frauds. For example, you are prevented from accessing a fake bank site or a threatening social network link.

Uninterruptable Game Fun

The secure gamer mode is the unique surprise in this antivirus for all game lovers. While playing a video game or running even a presentation in the full-screen mode, the feature keeps all interruptions at bay without affecting security.

Performance with Speed

The Smart Photon technology consumes the processing power without burdening it even on Windows 8. As per the tasks running and availability of resources, the antivirus fine-tunes to retain speed and optimize operations. For this, the Scan Dispatcher finds out and uses the available time slots. Without affecting the system speed, heuristic detection and real-time prevention keep new threats at bay and the virus definition updates run automatically in the background.

Other Products

Bitdefender offers various antivirus packages such as Internet Security with parental controls and Total Security with secure online storage and device anti-theft features. However, the Plus package is the basic one to offer comprehensive protection at the least possible price. 

Conclusion

There is hardly any chance for any user to get disappointed because of the impressive design as well as the new security add-ons for staying ahead of competition. In terms of spyware and malware protection, ease of use, and price, BitDefender AntiVirus Plus is bound to satisfy you.
