3. Security Status

The security status displays a systematically organized and easily manageable list of security vulnerabilities on your computer. BitDefender Total Security 2008 will let you know whenever a problem can affect your computer's security.

There are four security status buttons:

  • SECURITY

  • PARENTAL CONTROL

  • TUNEUP

  • BACKUP

At the same time, on the left you can see the number of issues affecting the security of your system and a red Fix All Issues button.

The four status buttons can be displayed in green, yellow, red or grey, depending on the current level of protection.

  • Green indicates a low security risk for your computer.

  • Yellow indicates a medium security risk for your computer.

  • Red indicates a high security risk for your computer.

  • Grey indicates a non-configured component.

Fixing security problems requires no effort and it can be done by a single click on the Fix All Issues button.
