BitDefender has been rated ‘best for beginners’ by Which? Computing, in its recent review of Computer Security Suites.

The tests were carried out by the Which? Test Lab on behalf of subscribers to the independent reports, published by Great Britain’s leading consumer association.

Against its remit – do security suites provide complete PC protection, Which? Computing has investigated ten products currently on sale in the UK. This year the test programme has been extended by four months to check the long term performance and see how well the different suites cope with new and emerging threats.

“This is important to make sure that users are constantly protected,” says Which?

Commenting on the outcome of the initial report, BitDefender UK manager, Nick Billington said: “Previously our product was seen to be rather technical, so this recommendation as ‘best for beginners’ does reflect improvements that we have made to ensure the BitDefender 2010 suite is both easy to use, as well as providing efficient performance.

We are looking forward to hearing the conclusion of the reliability tests.”

BitDefender will be participating at Infosecurity Europe 2010, the No. 1 industry event in Europe held on 27th – 29th April in its new venue Earl’s Court, London. The event provides an unrivalled free education programme, exhibitors showcasing new and emerging technologies and offering practical and professional expertise.
