Bit Defender Security Suite 2009 Review

BitDefender Internet Security 2009 does a very good job at protecting your computer against various categories of malicious threats such as viruses, spyware and all sorts of internet applications able to enter a personal computer. Though easy to use when run on the default configuration, BitDefender has difficulties at advanced or custom configurations.

Firewall:

The present BitDefender Total Security is enriched with additional features, a Gamer Mode and a simple one-click interface. It has a firewall that makes it able to monitor all incoming and outgoing information. The firewall tabs offer the user the possibility to choose from five types of configuration: Status, Traffic, Advanced, Activity and Zones. The status tabs of BitDefender enable the user to see the computer’s interaction with the internet and it also contains a sliding bar that helps the user change the security levels of his computer when necessary.
This sliding bar offers three settings: Ask, Allow Recommended and Game Mode, all of them able to see unthreatening programs.

Antivirus:

Its main advantage lies in the Virus Detection abilities. BitDefender Internet Security 2009 is able to scan fast and accurately all sorts of viruses, including viruses hidden inside compressed installer files.
BitDefender is rated as very efficient software able to detect viruses and prevent virus replication.
Another great advantage of BitDefender antivirus program is the ability to track when each file has been used last. This saves the user a lot of scan times because the program will only scan the files that have been used or changed since the last time they were scanned.

Antispyware:

Adware, keyloggers, trojans and browser hijackers have no chance to get through and infiltrate your computer if you use Bitdefender. This means that your personal information is safe and you don’t need to worry about it.

Additional Features:

This internet security software has been developed with customizable web filters as part of the parental control function. The web filters allow the user to set up user accounts and set specific criteria for the web filter per account (for example, the user can set specific criteria and keywords against dangerous sites, PC-damaging downloads and potentially harmful email messages.

Use:

The “Quick Tasks” section on the status screen available with a single click and has common scanning options. The default configuration is well-developed and able to limit the need for most users to perform advanced configuration changes.
The program status screen also monitors everything within all of the program segments and assists with launching common tasks. But this is just a monitoring screen for a few functions in the program status screen and may pose problems for the user, forced to navigate sub-menus within the settings dialog in order to find and change options.
Computer slowdowns are rather frequent when the software performs tasks such as moving large files or scanning. Although BitDefender Internet Security 2009 has been improved from the point of view of quicker scanning and searches, the user may still be confronted with slowdowns when loading some of the sub screens within the software.
Installation and Setup do not pose any problems as the internet security program has an easy and acceptable configuration to most computers.

Technical Support:

If you choose BitDefender Internet Security 2009 to be your favorite security software you’ll have benefits from different tutorials, online manuals, useful website information and forums of community where he will find a lot of valuable information. Softwin offers trough customer support other valuable information if you need.

Conclusions:

The main goal of this internet security program, namely to keep your computer clean and secure, is achieved: BitDefender Internet Security 2009 has one of the best virus scanners, antispyware and antispam features available. The users may opt for different accounts and set specific criteria for the web filter per account. Still, some features such as ease-of-use issues and significant computer slowdowns that occur when large files are transferred leave room for improvement.
