New and Improved in BitDefender 2011
Increased protection
Many of today's viruses are designed to avoid detection by initially laying dormant on your computer, only to attack when it is most vulnerable.
To combat this, BitDefender 2011 features a cutting-edge security system called Active Virus Control, which constantly monitors all of the processes on your computer, 24 hours a day, blocking any malicious behaviour before it can cause any damage.
Faster Scanning
With an abundance of new viruses being released, there is a requirement for faster and more efficient ways to detect them. BitDefender's Optimised Scanning avoids the scanning of files that are known to be safe. The result is that BitDefender 2010 scans your computer a lot quicker than previous versions and uses less resource whilst doing so.
Easier to Use
Whether you're a security expert or a basic computer user, BitDefender’s new User Profiles help you to easily manage your computer security settings. Choose between Novice, Intermediate and Expert mode in orde to better accommodate your experience and knowledge.
The new product interface adapts to the profile you select and provides quick access to the main security features you are most likely to use.
BitDefender 2011 also features four dashboard views
Improved Parental Control*
The Parental Control module features a new reporting system that allows parents to monitor their children’s online activity, such as the websites they are allowed to visit and the times they are allowed to be online. The feature allows the user to select specific time intervals in which their children are allowed to access the Internet or use certain applications.
* Only available in Internet Security 2011 and Total Security 2011
Improved Intrusion Detection
BitDefender detects and blocks attempts to change critical system files or registry entries on your computer and warns you about attacks performed.
Improved In-Product Technical Support
You can get answers to the most common product-related questions or contact technical support directly from the product with the easy-to-use self-service module.
