Antispyware:  

BitDefender Internet Security 2010 is equipped to protect your computer and your personal information from a variety of identity threats, including adware, trojans, keyloggers, and even browser hijackers. New intrusion detection tools block attacks made by DLL code injection, and stop unauthorized attempts to change your system files and registry keys, access your memory, or attempt to kill BitDefender processes.

BitDefender Internet Security can even encrypt all of your IM conversations for additional security, and will help you effectively reduce or eliminate annoying (and potentially dangerous) spam messages. Furthermore, the software includes anti-phishing, so you don’t have to worry about losing your important information or identity to these scams.

Another advanced feature for keeping your important info safe is available with the File Vault. You can securely store your personal information and/or secret files in this designated “digital safe” and have them completely inaccessible to others.

Antivirus:  

Virus detection is one of the most important aspects of a robust internet security suite, and BitDefender’s protection is certainly superior. Not only has BitDefender received awards and certifications from third party security testers like ICSA and Virus Bulletin 100, the software has been shown to provide some of the fastest scans while requiring some of the lowest requirements (on-access and on-demand memory) in the industry.

The kernel-level virus protection of BitDefender Internet Security is second to none, and is regularly (read: hourly) updated for up-to-date virus signatures and definitions. One of the reasons BitDefender is so effective is because the software is equipped to scan all (in and out) PC communication, including e-mail, instant messages, and all web traffic. But the scan isn’t just comprehensive, it also runs in real-time to effectively stop threats before they even have a chance to infiltrate your PC.

Another impressive BitDefender technology that keeps your computer safe is Active Virus Control. This extra layer of protection is a proactive, heuristic detection method designed to uncover stealth threats. With security suites and antivirus software gaining strength, some malware has been specifically engineered to sneak around them and go undetected. But Active Virus Control monitors all activity of applications to analyze file behavior and stop even these stealth viruses.
