BitDefender 2009 Review
The new BitDefender was just released and I have been trying it out for the last few days. I am very positive regarding several issues.
If you have tried out BitDefender, please make a comment about Your First impression in the comment section at the bottom of the page.
Interesting New Features
Among the most interesting new features I found in my initial tests are that it is faster than previous versions.
I also find it even less intruding than previously although I never really had a problem with that. I like the new management console as it gives a clear overview and alerts on the most important issues.

BitDefender is now inviting the public to test BitDefender Total Security 2008.
BitDefender Total Security 2008 beta campaign started on June 19, 2007. Total Security for home users brings new features and a lot of improvements.

Total Security 2008 is a new product. A spokesman for BitDefender said that the company has taken several products, and put them together in a comprehensive package. Total Security includes Firewall and Antispyware. It also includes Backup and PC maintenance as well as a new Game mode, geared to be less memory consuming for game playing.
“A lot of gamers don’t use any kind of security software because it slows down the PC,” says a Bitdefender spokesman. “This scales down the firewall, the real-time spyware detection, and the antivirus so instead of scanning all the files, it only scans the ones most likely to have a virus, like .exe file extensions.”
Until next time,
