Two Powerful Products. One Unbeatable Solution!

Times have changed. Today, many households no longer run on a single operating system. That’s where Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac and Windows comes in. Comprised of two of Bitdefender’s leading antivirus and anti-phishing programs, it’s the single solution to keeping your family safe from digital dangers!

Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac

Keeps your Mac computers free from Mac viruses, while preventing the spread of Windows-based viruses (which don’t affect the Mac) from spreading to your families’, friends’ or co-workers’ PCs. Plus, its powerful anti-phishing technologies block webpages that attempt to steal your credit card data.

Bitdefender Antivirus for PC

Utilizes #1 ranked antivirus technology and Autpilot to stop viruses in their tracks with little or no PC interaction from you. It also features a hacker-proof browser to secure all your online transactions, ID theft protection, social network safeguards, advance warning of risky websites, USB immunizer, and more!

Stop Viruses and Spyware Cold

Proactive antivirus software for Mac stops new viruses and malware that other products miss.

Block ID Theft Attacks

Shut-out websites that attempt to steal your credit card data or other personal information.

Schedule Scans Around Your Schedule

Plan ahead and schedule your full system/drive scans in the off hours, when your Mac is not in use.

Quarantine Suspicious Documents

Move infected or suspected files to a special "safe zone", before forwarding them to the Bitdefender Antivirus Lab for further investigation.

Familiar Mac Interface

Use the Bitdefender dock icon to get access to the most common tasks, or drag & drop files on it for quick scanning.

Always Up-To-Date

Innovative Mac antivirus software continuously and automatically checks our global database to keep your Mac safeguarded against the latest strains of online threats.

Find Support Fast

Enjoy free technical assistance for the entire duration of your software license.

Unparalleled Security

Bitdefender stops emerging e-threats that other products miss by capitalizing on live and virtualized behavior-based detection, in addition to cloud-based services.

*AV-Test, May 2012: Overall Highest Score for Protection, Repair and Usability (www.av-test.org)

  • Bitdefender Safepay™ - Keeps hackers at bay by automatically opening all your online banking pages in a separate, secure browser.
  • MyBitdefender dashboard - See all the status and licensing information about your software and services in your own, MyBitdefender dashboard. Now accessible from anywhere, anytime, from any Internet-connected device.
  • Security Widget - Enables you to keep track of all of your security related tasks, plus lets you quickly and easily drag-and-drop files for quick scanning for viruses—right from your desktop!
  • USB Immunizer - Immunizes any Flash Drive from viruses, when they are connected to your computer, so that you never worry again about USBs infecting you or your friends.
  • Active Virus Control - A proactive, dynamic detection technology which monitors processes’ behavior in real-time, as they are running, and tags suspicious activities.
  • Rescue Mode - If e-threats, such as rootkits, cannot be removed from within the Windows operating system, the computer is re-booted in Rescue mode—a trusted environment which is then used for cleanup and restoration.
  • Vulnerability Scanner - Checks for missing or outdated security software, missing Windows security patches, as well as potentially unsafe system settings.

Absolute Silence

Save time and avoid all hassles - the Autopilot makes the security-related decisions for you!
  • Bitdefender Autopilot™ - Bitdefender Autopilot™ provides a hassle-free experience by making optimal security-related decisions without input from you. This means no pop-ups, no alerts, nothing to configure.

Safe Social Networking

You trust your online friends. But do you trust their computers? Protect yourself, and your friends, from e-threats that attempt to exploit the trust you’ve built with them.
  • Social Network Protection - Bitdefender filters/blocks social-networking specific e-threats by scanning the links you receive from your Facebook and Twitter friends, monitors your privacy settings, and much more!
  • Search Advisor - The Link Filter relies on intelligence provided by Bitdefender Cloud services to flag malware and phishing attempts in search engine results.

Total Privacy

Threats to your privacy keep diversifying. Your e-mail, your messaging, your entire Web presence and activities can be targeted. Bitdefender addresses them all, protecting your data with a range of specialized modules and functions.
  • Personal Data Filter - Prevents critical data (such as anything even resembling your social security number) from ever leaving your computer.
  • Antiphising - Analyzes and blocks websites that support various scams or credit card phishing attempts.

Full Speed

Bitdefender 2013 takes “scheduled scanning” to a whole new level, as the scanning only takes place when your system is idle.
  • Scan Dispatcher - The Scan Dispatcher finds and uses time-slices when system resource usage falls below a certain threshold to perform recurring scans of your entire system. This way Bitdefender does not interfere with user-initiated actions and does not impact system responsiveness.
