Publisher Description Of BitDefender Internet Security

BitDefender Internet Security was designed to keep Internet-connected family safe, without slowing down the PCs. It locks out viruses, hackers & spam, while providing parental control and firewall protection.

The 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 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. 

Anti-virus Protection scanning engines will scan and disinfect infected files on access, minimizing data loss. Infected documents can now be recovered instead of being deleted. Moreover, the Rootkit Detection and Removal A module looks for rootkits (malicious programs designed to control victim computers, while staying hidden) and removes them on detection.

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 runs on the POP3/SMTP protocol level, filtering incoming and outgoing e-mail messages, regardless of the e-mail client used (OutlookTM, Outlook ExpressTM, The Bat, Netscape, etc.), without any additional configuration.

Consumer Feedbacks And Complaints

Actual Customer Feedback:

"This software basically does the same task with the other equivalent software (e.g. McAfee or Norton). It cannot prevent all spywares or viruses as expected. The software also slows down your computer."
Actual user comment from PriceGrabber.com

"This is a good product...it offers pretty much all of what you need for protecting a PC on the internet. Seems to be easy on system resources. The updates of definitions is very frequent, which is good considering the pace of new viruses. I'd recommend this product."
Actual user comment from PriceGrabber.com

"Bitdefender works really well on both vista and xp machines, and I really like the clean interface and the fact that it runs pretty low key in the background without excessive popups requiring user responses and it doesn't drag down system resources. It installs flawlessly, and even will uninstall other antivirus software in case you forgot to do this yourself, which I thought was a really nice touch..."

"...one of the very few Internet security suites that don't increase the loading times of the Windows Startup and Shutdown. You often find that your computer takes longer to start up after installing a security suite, but this is not the case with BitDefender Internet Security. BitDefender Internet Security doesn't affect the overall performance of your system too much and the system remains quite responsive, even during a Deep System Scan..."

"This is the beginning of my second year with BitDefender because it worked well throughout the first year. It installed without trouble on 2 computers, one XP, one Vista. Configuration is no easier or more difficult than other products I've used. The help menu is adequate on the positive side. Sometimes it's easy to find the answer, but sometimes I've been overwhelmed with the selection of responses to a search... I have not had the problems other reviewers report. The computers did not slow down, no problems with the wireless, no installation problems, no wrecked computer, etc..."

"Easy to install on both XP Pro x32 and x64 (TRIAL version). It has many features that, with patience, can be configured into a reasonable set... The anti-virus crashing while taking 10 minutes to retrieve 15 emails is not uncommon. After it restarts, it runs a lot better. The White list is theirs and the Black list I could not find, if it exists at all. ALL Microsoft software is White listed, the exact opposite of what I want..."

"...After install, it immediately fixed a bunch of nagging issues with my PC and I swear the thing is working faster now. Lots of features and the file vault function helps me sleep at night knowing my data is safe..."
Portion of actual user comment from Staples.com

"...The product may be good but customer service is shockingly bad. Their documentation is completely inadequate. Their knowledge base is sparse to the point of useless. They NEVER answer their customer service line. It was bad when they had an 800 number, now they have a toll number, so you wait on hold for ever and pay real money to do so..."
