Unbelievable but true, BitDefender 10 was built to be one of the most effective and secure antivirus engines and is available to the end user free of cost. The easy to use features and automatic updates would make sure that after you install BitDefender Free Edition 10, you just let it do its job and forget about it.
Like all other antivirus engines, BitDefender 10 also has the sole mission of detecting and eradicating viruses and also scans and cleans spyware. The scan engines of BitDefender 10 are certified by the likes of ICSA Labs, Virus Bulletin and Checkmark. The scan is performed based on information from an updated signature database which keeps updates about new possible threats.
BitDefender 10 uses an advanced B-HAVE ((Behavioral Heuristic Analyzer in Virtual Environments) scan. In this case, a virtual computer scenario is created and pieces of software emulate the scan to check for viruses. This technology ensures a secure layer over the OS and hence proactively protects it from malicious software. A BitDefender module, specific to this particular antivirus engine looks for root kits and removes malicious ones. A privacy guard monitors all incoming and outgoing internet traffic and provides a secure lock for all the personal information that passes through. In addition to this, 24 hour updates through a proxy server enables the product to repair itself from the server database, in this case the BitDefender server. All updates and upgrades are free of cost.
As soon as the installation is over, BitDefender 10 provides a set up wizard to help the user through the set up process which would include the best possible way to effectively scan the entire system with less intervention, update settings and scan schedules. Importance is given to ease of use and less user intervention which is achieved by the automation of tasks.
