BitDefender AntiVirus Plus 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 (MS
Outlook, MS Outlook Express, Netscape, Pegasus, The Bat, etc.), without
any additional configuration.
Application Firewall
The firewall module filters network traffic and controls the access
permission of applications connecting to the Internet.
Internet Traffic Control
Defines exactly which incoming or outgoing connections to permit/deny.
Define rules regarding specific protocols, ports, applications and/or
remote addresses.
IMPROVED Internet
Application Control
BitDefender maintains a database of trusted applications, and informs
users whether or not the applications demanding network access are
trustworthy, so they can make informed decisions. Alternatively,
BitDefender can grant access automatically for trusted applications.
Antispam
The new and improved BitDefender Antispam technology employs remarkable
technological innovations which allow it to adapt to new spamming
techniques as they emerge, and to “learn” its
user’s preferences to block spam while maintaining a very low
ratio of legitimate mails tagged as spam.
IMPROVED Adaptive
Filtering
BitDefender employs advanced clustering and neural network analysis
techniques to classify e-mail based on user preference and emerging
patterns in the local collection of e-mails. The antispam Bayesian
filter can be trained by the user (by simply classifying some e-mail as
spam or legitimate) and is also self-trained, continually developing
new filtering criteria based on past decisions.
Anti-Phishing
BitDefender's new phishing detector keeps your computer clear of
malicious e-mails trying to trick you into giving away your bank
account information or other sensitive data.
Heuristic, URL,
Whitelist/Blacklist, Charset and Image Filters
Five types of filters further refine your control over e-mail. The
heuristic filter checks mail for the characteristics of spam. The
Whitelist/Blacklist filter rejects mail from known spammer addresses
and lets your friends' mail through. The URL filter blocks mail
containing malicious links, while the charset filter blocks mail
written in “strange” characters. The image filter
decides whether images embedded in e-mails are specific to spam.
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 train the Bayesian filter.
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.
