Reap the Dividend of Bitdefender Security

The latest edition of the Bitdefender has been applauded by renowned independent security software testing institute AV-test.org. The test which scales product in terms of protection, repair and usability simplifies the users’ task in determining the best protection for their PCs. If the recent reports are to be believed then Bitdefender Internet Security can be the ideal software for home PCs or laptops. It scored hundred percent in terms of detection, protection and blocking of malware (including Rootkits and stealth malware) whereas the industry average was 97 percent. It helped the system to bounce back in the sound condition by actively cleaning uninvited guests and repairing the malware-infected system software. Here the score was 100 and 95 percent with different samples. Similarly in terms of usability it performed well. The term usability was used to measure the impact of the security software on the system’s performance or the usability of the machine. Again, the value it showed was much below than the average or threshold value that was fixed at 10. Explicitly low false detection rate is also a feather in the cap, as regular or unwanted notifications distract the users from normal computing.

Bitdefender Internet Security holds salient features to stop emerging e-threats that other products miss due to its live and virtualized behavior-based detection, in addition to cloud-based services. It has been engineered with Active Virus Control (To check new & unknown viruses by monitoring processes behavior while they are running), Rescue mode (To start computer in a trusted environment, which is used for cleanup and restoration), Virtualized Browser ( Isolates the browser from the operating system in a Bitdefender-provided environment to block web-based threats), Vulnerability Scanner ( Monitor the security status regarding outdated security software), Antispam (Stops unwanted e-mail from reaching your Inbox), Parental Control (Blocks inappropriate content, restricts Web access between certain hours, and helps parents remotely monitor their children's online activity), etc. Bitdefender seems to be quite serious with the social network vulnerabilities. Its built-in social network feature is to filter out infected links shared across Facebook and Twitter and monitor the privacy settings to check invasion. Search Advisor will not let you fall victim towards risky websites, against every website on the search engines like Google and Bing you will come across a security notification.

Bitdefender Total Security extends its protection avenue to incorporate additional features such as File Shredder, File Encryption, Tune-up and Safebox. Both the software holds compatibility with the Microsoft Windows XP SP3 (32 bit), Vista (SP2) and Microsoft Windows 7 (SP1). However, before you install any Bitdefender software with any of the operating system it is must to get rid of any outdated or unwanted security software. You may do that effectively through the Control Panel, or can use any third-party uninstaller tool. Apart from installing, you need to update and configure the software. Don’t ignore the Windows Update feature and the notifications of the Action Center or Windows Security Center as they keep a close eye on the system security.

Creating a Bitdefender Rescue CD is a wise way to encounter serious issues with Windows-based machine. You can download the .iso rescue image from a reliable portal and burn it on a CD/DVD with the help of a suitable burning application. In case, you are not in a comfortable position to boot your machine normally and use Windows Restore Options to fix problems then change the boot menu in BIOS and boot it through the rescue CD. Remember, it won’t restore your files, programs and other assets, so earlier backup can pay off you.
