BitDefender Internet Security 2009

These tests simulate how a continuation can detect new and unknown malware. But while BitDefender also sets out some inconveniences, which overshadowed the previous version of BitDefender Internet Security 2009, a few bumps.

BitDefender very good for catching malware, the tree stumps 98.9 percent of AV-Test from the Collection of Trojans, bots and other malware. It is a small improvement, but much to his previous earnings 97.2 percent of the catch in this test, but only rated fourth.

However, BitDefender Internet Security 2009 is better than most competitors in the tests that the use of proactive two weeks at the age of signature files. He discovered 52 percent of the malware, a better result that the sequence G Data.

A single false positive alert, while BitDefender Internet Security 2009 with a capacity of rootkits smell was great. Indeed, he has to recognize and remove all non-employed workers and samples of software, the Stealth-AV-Test.org facility.

BitDefender has done well to also clean the existing malware infections, the removal of all files for any infection, but an hour. But for half of the infections, some changes in the registry (which are much less likely to hurt any time left rear) and the speed of digitization is in the middle of the field.

We were happy, a few modifications to BitDefender Internet Security 2009 web interface. For one thing, right after the installation, we were warned that our test laptop was equipped with a wireless network is not encrypted. It can also detect when you insert removable media like a USB stick and asks if you wish. If a pop-up bothers you, you can tick a box to prevent BitDefender show again, but we wanted to have a choice.

Counter balancing these points are, however, some disadvantages. Although BitDefender Internet Security 2009 firewall includes listening to certain applications that connect to the Internet, we have a reference to the less well-known FTP FileZilla.

Therefore, we have an error appeared in the Windows Security Center said that the more up to date, although he referred to an update 40 minutes before restarting cleared false.

Security software and new

BitDefender is a good scanner, the vulnerability can download the updates from Windows or the application, but the company apparently is not their version of the list as quickly as they should. It reported the correct version installed Firefox (3.0.4), but said that the current version is 3.0.1. If we had probably not been notified, so we had a out-of-date browser.

A comprehensive parental control feature provides options to restrict access to websites and programs installed, and you can also look to specific topics in Web pages and e-mails or chats to refuse, especially the contacts.

In our use of tests, where we have tried to download adware Zango, the role of parental control to prevent the browser to download the file, but it does not require notification or other communication that attempt to block.

This kind of quirkiness might cause some confusion. When we turned the control exercised by the parents after the ordinary protection of files, blocking the download of the recordings on the hard disk - and will the pop-up, too.
