Malware (Viruses, Trojans, Worms, and other threats) Bit Defender actively protects your PC from all types of malicious
code. Web traffic is filtered even before reaching your browser, for a
safe and enjoyable Web experience. Messaging and peer-to-peer applications
are also monitored to help prevent viruses from spreading.
Spyware and Adware Based on a comprehensive spyware signature database, BitDefender blocks
spyware threats in real-time, before they can damage your system. It also
monitors dozens of potential "hotspots" where spyware might act, and
checks for any changes made to your system and software.
Unknown Viruses
BitDefender has developed B-HAVE (Behavioral Heuristic Analyzer in Virtual
Environments), a new technology designed to detect and block new and unknown
threats without the need for an update. By analyzing the behavior of
potentially malicious software inside a virtual computer, this technology
eliminates false positives and significantly increases detection rates.
Hidden Threats (Rootkits)
BitDefender looks for and removes rootkits, malicious programs designed to
control your computer, while staying hidden.
Phishing Attacks
Blocks malicious Websites from stealing your personal information, which can
lead to identity theft.
Hackers and Intrusions
The firewall module filters network traffic and prevents malicious applications
from connecting to the Internet. When the "stealth" mode is on,
your computer is "hidden" from malicious software and hackers.
Junk Mail Stops spam before it clogs your email with BitDefender's highly-tuned
antispam filter capabilities.
Gamer Mode
Games, especially online ones, are some of
the most demanding PC applications existing today. Games typically
make use of as many system resources as they can access because
they must be highly responsive, providing near-instant reaction to
users' actions. Therefore, the more resources, the better the
gaming experience.
To address gamers' needs BitDefender 2008
introduces the Gamer Mode, a "profile" or a collection of
protection settings chosen by experts at the BitDefender Labs in
order to keep the product's impact low and the game, safe. The
Gamer Mode profile can be used with any game and it can be turned
on with just one click.
But why is a Gamer Mode necessary after all? With games including an
online component, the absence of delays in packet transmission is paramount
to enjoying online games to the full. That is why BitDefender's Gamer Mode
setting postpones automatic updates, does away with all alerts and pop-ups
and sets the scanning level to "permissive" so that only the most
important files are scanned. The result: no interruptions while chasing the
bad guy or conquering virtual worlds.
Moreover, there is no need for gamers to
disable the product's firewall while playing as it is designed to
accept certain connections that do not match the existing security
rules, but which are instrumental to the gaming experience.
Hence, this mode allows achieving three goals that are essential to a
smooth gaming experience: minimized system load, zero demands on the network
connection and no interruptions.

BitDefender Total Security 2008 is delivered on a bootable CD which can be
used to scan and disinfect a compromised system.

The antiphishing toolbar protects you from fraudulent Websites designed to
steal your personal information and even your identity.
