BitDefender Antivirus Plus

BitDefender Antivirus Plus 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 (MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express, Netscape, Pegasus, The Bat, etc.), without any additional configuration.
