Bitdefender- The 999 in the AntiVirus World
Founded in 2001 Bitdefender had the aim of developing cybersecurity products and services that were easily accessible to all users in a global AntiVirus market. Founder Florin Talpes sought to create a globally recognised range of products that would proactively fight emerging online threats. In 2021 the company employs around 1,600 people worldwide, has no less than 440 technology patents and its’ products are sold in over 150 countries. Predominantly concerned with providing endpoint protection, cloud, managed security and AntiVirus software the company now successfully protects over 500 million systems across the globe.
Bitdefender works by performing virus and vulnerability scans in the background of your system on a regular basis, due to the huge malware directory and knowledge of machines complexity the scan is able to identify any current or emerging threats. Bitdefender uses the cloud to perform the scan which consequently requires less storage space than traditional antivirus protection. The company is recognised as a World leader in the AntiVirus market thanks to its range of core products that are suitable for all levels of user, from individual to business there are AntiVirus scans available to suit all end users. With the ability to schedule scans on a startup, daily, weekly or monthly basis and an average scan time of under 1 hour Bitdefender is both easy to use and effective. Another feature of this system that has proved popular is the fact it doesn’t slow your device down when running in the background, with other AntiVirus scanning systems known to decrease running speed this is a particularly popular element of the Bitdefender system.
With 4 different scanning options available Bitdefender can protect your system on as in-depth level as you require, the quick scan is a more lightweight scan of your systems core files, this can identify any viruses in these and temporary files. In contrast the next scan up is the whole system scan, this works by scanning through the systems files on a more in-depth basis. Popular with Bitdefender users keen to scan their systems for malware and known vulnerabilities the next step up from the system scan would be the Custom scan. The vulnerability scan looks at any privacy risks associated with system files, Bitdefender’s real-time protection is another core area which sees the Bitdefender Shield scan each file and attachment in real time checking for potential threats.
The other core area of Bitdefender’s protection is the anti-phishing concept, when you click on any new website Bitdefender will automatically scan it to ensure its not one of the millions on their blacklist database. With many other layers of protection including password manager, parental controls, VPN and Safetypay it’s easy to see why this Anti-Virus range of virtual products are proving more popular in 2021 than ever before. With easy to use products that fit into the modern lifestyle millions of tech users across the globe are successfully protecting their systems with a Bitdefender product.
