BitDefender AntiVirus
v10
Antivirus
The purpose of the antivirus module is to
ensure detection and removal of all viruses in the wild. BitDefender Antivirus
uses robust scan engines certified by ICSA Labs, Virus Bulletin, Checkmark,
CheckVir and TÜV.
IMPROVED
Proactive Detection
B-HAVE (Behavioral Heuristic Analyzer in Virtual
Environments) emulates a virtual computer-inside-a-computer where pieces of
software are run in order to check for potential malware behavior. This
BitDefender proprietary technology represents a new security layer that keeps
the operating system safe from unknown viruses by detecting malicious pieces of
code for which signatures have not yet been released.
Permanent Antivirus
Protection
The new and improved
BitDefender scanning engines will scan and disinfect infected files on access,
minimizing data loss. Infected documents can now be recovered instead of being
deleted.
NEW Rootkit Detection
and Removal
A new BitDefender module looks for rootkits (malicious
programs designed to control victim computers, while staying hidden) and removes
them on detection.
NEW Web
Scanning
Web traffic is now filtered
in real-time even before reaching your browser, providing a safe and enjoyable
web experience.
Peer-2-Peer
and IM Applications Protection
Filters against viruses that spread via
instant messaging and file sharing software applications.
Full E-mail
Protection
BitDefender runs on the
POP3/SMTP protocol level, filtering incoming and outgoing e-mail messages,
regardless of the e-mail client used (OutlookTM, Outlook ExpressTM, The Bat!TM,
Netscape®, etc.), without any additional configuration.
Antispyware
BitDefender monitors and prevents potential
spyware threats in real-time, before they can damage your system. By making use
of a comprehensive database of spyware signatures, it will keep your computer
spyware-free.
Real-Time
Antispyware
BitDefender monitors
dozens of potential “hotspots” in your system where spyware might act, and also
checks any changes made to your system and software. Known spyware threats are
also blocked in real-time.
Spyware Scanning and
Cleaning
BitDefender can scan your
entire system, or just part of it, for known spyware threats. The scan uses a
constantly updated spyware signature database.
NEW Privacy
Protection
The privacy guard monitors HTTP (web) and SMTP (mail)
traffic flowing out of your computer for what might be personal information
–such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers and other user-defined
strings (e.g. bits of passwords).
Anti-Dialer
A configurable anti-dialer
prevents malicious applications from running up a huge telephone bill at your
expense.
Cookie
Control
The antispyware component filters incoming and outgoing cookie
type files, keeping your identity and preferences confidential when you’re
browsing the Internet.

application such as: ActiveX, Java Applets or Java Scripts type
codes.
