Antivirus
The
mission 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.
Heuristics
in Virtual Environment
Heuristics in Virtual Environment (HiVE) 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 been released yet.
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.
Peer-2-Peer Applications
Protection
Filters against viruses that spread via instant messaging and
file sharing software applications.
Innovative Behavior
Blocking
Blocks malicious applications based on behavior analysis. The
method ensures proactive protection against newborn viruses, Trojans, Internet
worms and other potentially malicious codes. The file system, registry and
Internet activity are constantly monitored.
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 ( MS
Outlook, MS Outlook Express, Netscape, Eudora, Pegasus, The Bat, etc.), without
any additional configuration.
Firewall
The firewall module protects your
data and your privacy by filtering the incoming and outgoing traffic,
controlling cookies, blocking malicious scripts and “XXX-dialer” type programs.
Internet Traffic Control
Define exactly which incoming or
outgoing connections to permit/deny. Define rules regarding specific protocols,
ports, applications and/or remote addresses.
Active Content
Control
Proactively blocks any potentially malicious application such as:
ActiveX, Java Applets or Java Scripts type codes.
Dial
Control
A configurable anti-dialer prevents malicious applications from
running up a huge telephone bill at your expense.
Cookie
Control
The firewall filters incoming and outgoing cookie type files,
keeping your identity and preferences confidential when you're browsing the
Internet.
Antispam
Quite simply put, the BitDefender
antispam module deals with the problem of spam, so you don't have to.
Anti-Phishing
Stay clear of malicious e-mails trying to trick
you into giving away your bank account info with BitDefender's new phishing
detector.
Self-learning Bayesian Filter
The advanced,
self-learning Bayesian filter lets you classify messages as "Spam" or "Ham",
with a single click in the BitDefender antispam toolbar. The filter will learn
after just a few iterations, and you'll find yourself having to make fewer and
fewer decisions as time goes by. Each tag you assign will improve the filter's
accuracy. Your filter sensitivity settings can be as high or as low as you like.
Heuristic, URL, White List/Blacklist, Charset and Image
Filters
Five types of filters further refine your control over e-mail.
The heuristic filter checks mail for characteristics of spam. The White
List/Blacklist filter will reject mail from known spammer addresses and let your
friends' mail through, the URL filter blocks mail containing malicious links
while the charset filter blocks mail written with “strange” characters. The
image filter can decide whether images embedded in e-mails are specific to spam.
Hassle-Free
You'll only be notified of the arrival of
legitimate messages. Spam will collect silently in your "Junk" folder, to be
examined or discarded at your leisure.
Compatibility and Outlook(tm)
integration
BitDefender antispam is compatible with all e-mail clients.
The BitDefender antispam toolbar in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express allows
users to filter mail and contacts without exiting Outlook.
