BitDefender Professional Plus integrates antivirus, firewall and antispam modules into one comprehensive security package, tailored to meet the needs of home and corporate Internet users worldwide.
The mission of the Antivirus module is to ensure detection and removal of all viruses in the wild. BitDefender Antivirus uses robust scan engines, certified by ICSA Labs, Virus Bulletin, Checkmark, CheckVir and TÜV.
Heuristics in Virtual Environment
Heuristics in Virtual Environment (HiVE) emulates a virtual computer-inside-a-computer where pieces of software are run in order to check for potential malware behavior. This BitDefender proprietary technology represents a new security layer that keeps the operating system safe from unknown viruses by detecting malicious pieces of code for which signatures have not been released yet.
Permanent Antivirus Protection
The new and improved BitDefender scanning engines will scan and disinfect infected files on access, minimizing data loss. Infected documents can now be recovered, instead of being deleted.
Peer-2-Peer Applications Protection
Filters against viruses that spread via instant messaging and file sharing software applications.
Innovative Behavior Blocking
Blocks malicious applications based on behavior analysis. The method ensures proactive protection against newborn viruses, Trojans, Internet worms and other potentially malicious codes. The file system, registry and Internet activity are constantly monitored.
Full E-mail Protection
BitDefender runs on the POP3/SMTP protocol level, filtering incoming and outgoing e-mail messages, regardless of the e-mail client used ( MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express, Netscape, Eudora, Pegasus, The Bat, etc.), without any additional configuration.
The firewall module protects your data and your privacy by filtering the incoming and outgoing traffic, controlling cookies, blocking malicious scripts and XXX-dialer type programs.
Internet Traffic Control
Define exactly which incoming or outgoing connections to permit/deny. Define rules regarding specific protocols, ports, applications and/or remote addresses.
Active Content Control
Proactively blocks any potentially malicious application such as: ActiveX, Java Applets or Java Scripts type codes.
Dial Control
A configurable anti-dialer prevents malicious applications from running up a huge telephone bill at your expense.
Cookie Control
The firewall filters incoming and outgoing cookie type files, keeping your identity and preferences confidential when youre browsing the Internet.
Quite simply put, the BitDefender antispam module deals with the problem of spam, so you dont have to.
Anti-Phishing
Stay clear of malicious e-mails trying to trick you into giving away your bank account info with BitDefenders new phishing detector.
Self-learning Bayesian Filter
The advanced, self-learning Bayesian filter lets you classify messages as "Spam" or "Ham", with a single click in the BitDefender antispam toolbar. The filter will learn after just a few iterations, and youll find yourself having to make fewer and fewer decisions as time goes by. Each tag you assign will improve the filters accuracy. Your filter sensitivity settings can be as high or as low as you like.
Heuristic, URL, White List/Blacklist, Charset and Image Filters
Five types of filters further refine your control over e-mail. The heuristic filter checks mail for characteristics of spam. The White List/Blacklist filter will reject mail from known spammer addresses and let your friends mail through, the URL filter blocks mail containing malicious links while the charset filter blocks mail written with strange characters. The image filter can decide whether images embedded in e-mails are specific to spam.
