Features
This software does just about every security related thing there is to
do.
It has a firewall, which is adept at blocking incoming and outgoing
traffic generated by the user, off-site users, applications, and web-site
requests. Don't want to be on the
internet today? No problem, just block
off all incoming and outgoing traffic and WOILA, you're officially the only
person in civilized America that is off of the internet. It also includes an anti-virus, which is customizable, easy to use, and
overly simple. There isn't much to say
here except that it's capable and functional.The anti-spyware, however, is worth a special mention. This program is adept at what it does, and we
are happy to see that it operates without complaint. BitDefender also includes a set of parental controls, rounding out the
package and making it our number one choice.
Using BitDefender
It works. It blocked all incoming
viruses, stopped the traffic that we specified, allowed traffic on the ports we
wanted, kept Trojans and other spyware from taking root on the computer, and
prevented us from viewing pornographic material.
We tried. And tried. And tried again. We could not break this software; there was
no way for us to get a virus by (unless we had just written it), as the program
simply caught everything. A
credible feat, and definitely one worth mentioning.
Conclusion
This review may have been a bit shorter than what you were expecting
given our enthusiasm for the product, but that's more because we didn't have
anything to complain about. Everything
is user friendly, laid out well, and easy, simple, perfect. |
