What's New

 

New and Improved in BitDefender 2010

 

More Protection!

 

Many of today's stealth viruses are designed to avoid antivirus detection by initially laying dormant only to attack your PC when it is most vulnerable. BitDefender 2010 features a cutting-edge security system, Active Virus Control, which constantly monitors all of the processes on your PC, 24/7, blocking any malicious behavior before it can cause any damage.

 

 

More Speed!

 

The abundance of new viruses calls for faster ways to detect them. BitDefender's Optimized Scanning avoids the scanning of files that are known to be safe. The result? BitDefender 2010 scans your PC in half the time needed by previous versions, while using less resources.

 

 

Easier to Use!

 

Whether you're a security expert or a novice, with the new BitDefenderUser Profiles you can easily manage your PC's security. The product interface adapts to the chosen profile and provides quick access to the main security functionalities you are most likely to need (Parental Controls for parents, or Gamer Mode for gamers).
BitDefender 2010 also features three dashboard views – Novice, Intermediate, and Expert - to better accommodate users with different levels of PC knowledge.

 

 

Improved Parental Control *

 

The Parental Control module features a newly added reporting system allowing parents to view what websites their children visit. Moreover, parents can set specific time intervals in which their children are allowed to access the Internet or use certain applications.

 

* Only available in Internet Security 2010 and Total Security 2010

 

Improved Intrusion Detection

 

BitDefender detects and blocks attempts to change critical system files or registry entries on your PC and warns you about attacks performed by code injection (DLL injection).

 

 

Improved In-Product Technical Support

 

You can get answers to the most common product-related questions or contact technical support directly from the product using its easy-to-use self-service module.
