BitDefender Antivirus 2010

18. Antivirus BitDefender protects your computer from all kinds of malware (viruses, Trojans, spyware, rootkits and so on). The protection BitDefender offers is divided into two categories: â—? Real-time protection - prevents new malware threats from entering your system. BitDefender will, for example, scan a word document for known threats when you open it, and an e-mail message when you receive one.

Note Real-time protection is also referred to as on-access scanning - files are scanned as the users access them.

â—? On-demand scanning - allows detecting and removing the malware that already resides in the system. This is the classic scan initiated by the user - you choose what drive, folder or file BitDefender should scan, and BitDefender scans it on-demand. The scan tasks allow you to create customized scanning routines and they can be scheduled to run on a regular basis.

18.1. Real-time Protection BitDefender provides continuous, real-time protection against a wide range of malware threats by scanning all accessed files, e-mail messages and the communications through Instant Messaging Software applications (ICQ, NetMeeting, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger). BitDefender Antiphishing prevents you from disclosing personal information while browsing the Internet by alerting you about potential phishing web pages. To configure real-time protection Antivirus>Shield in Expert Mode.
