Main Features

• Real-time protection.
• Intrusion detection system - heuristic monitoring of objects attempting to penetrate network services or the Internet.
• Active virus control – this innovative technology for proactive scanning uses advanced heuristic methods to detect potentially new threats in real-time.
• Proactive new technology B-HAVE to reduce dependence on virus signatures through proactive detection of unknown threats. The technology is based on behavioral analysis in a virtual environment. B-HAVE monitors application parameters and actions. If no malicious actions are detected, B-HAVE runs the program in normal mode. If suspicious objects are found, B-HAVE automatically removes or quarantines the application.
• HTTP scanning – analysis and blocking of fraudulent and phishing websites.
• Anti-rootkit – technologies for detecting hidden malicious software, also known as rootkits. This is a hidden type of software, often malicious, that hides processes or programs from traditional detection methods; rootkits provide privileged access to the PC.
• Periodic updates without user intervention, maintaining an optimal level of protection against new threats.
• Early scanning during system boot – this improves virus detection at startup and speeds up loading time.
• Idle scanning – the antivirus detects when the computer uses minimal resources to perform system scanning without affecting user work.
  • Smart Scan - files previously checked by Bitdefender will not be re-scanned, using an intelligent skip engine during file control.System Requirements: · CPU - Processor: 1 GHz or higher · RAM: 512 MB (1 GB RAM recommended) · Hard disk: 700 MB free space (1 GB recommended)
