Bitdefender provides A Wide Range Of Benefits To Both Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é Users And Administrators That Include, But Are Not Limited To:
Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é Users
- Antiphishing: Robust, built-in antiphishing module protects against phishing and fraud.
- Ransomeware Vaccines: Protects systems, similar to flu vaccines, against known viruses and zero-day ransomware attacks.
- Sandboxing: Everything (e.g., all documents, web browsing, program execution, etc.) is scanned on-th-fly (also know as on-access scanning) on the person's system through advanced built-in sandboxing technology.
- Web Traffic Scan: All web, Internet, traffic is scanned on-the-fly to keep users browsing on the Internet safe.
- Local and Central Scan: Scanning is performed locally on the user’s system or remotely from the administrative console as needed, also known as on-demand scanning.
- Less Pop-Ups: Minimizes pop-up notifications on the user’s computer thus requiring less user interaction, if any.
- Seamless Updates: Bitdefender receives updates regardless of the user’s location as long as the user has an active Internet connection.
- Local Quarantine: Allows users to take actions on their local quarantine.
- Lightweight: Antivirus client does not slow the system down by using too many resources.
- Deferred Scanning: Has a “smart” feature that automatically delays a scan to allow users to complete resource-intensive tasks (e.g., number crunching, simulations, compiling programs, etc.) without adversely affecting their task(s). The deferred scan resumes once the system critical task has completed.
