Bitdefender Antivirus Plus v10
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.
