| BitDefender Unveils Next Generation Security Products BitDefender launches version 10 of its line of solutions for consumers and small business. Employing BitDefender's new patent pending B-HAVE (Behavioral Heuristic Analyzer in Virtual Environments) technology, version 10 of BitDefender's Internet Security, Antivirus Plus, and Antivirus security solutions offer consumers and small to mid-sized businesses strong heuristics-based technology for proactively monitoring and detecting today's most malicious viruses, spyware, spam and phishing activity. New Anti-rootkit Technology: Additionally all of the solutions will include an anti-rootkit module, for detecting and removing rootkits (malicious programs designed to control victim computers while staying hidden). Rootkits have quickly become one of the biggest security threats and challenges for consumers due to their extremely stealthy nature and the lack of anti-rootkit tools in most major security products. With BitDefender 10 solutions, consumers and SMBs can now have a greater level of comfort knowing that their PCs are free of rootkits. BitDefender Internet Security v10: The latest version of BitDefender Internet Security covers all the security needs of an Internet-connected family by providing comprehensive protection against viruses, spyware, spam, rootkits, scams, phishing attempts, intruders and objectionable web content. Features available in the new version of BitDefender Internet Security include: - Web Scanning - filters Web traffic in real-time before it reaches your browser, providing a safe and enjoyable web experience - Anti-rootkit module - detects and removes rootkits, which can secretly control a users' computer - Port Scan Detection - detects and blocks port scans which can open up vulnerabilities - Privacy Guard - monitors HTTP (web) and SMTP (mail) traffic to ensure outsiders can not illegally access personal information, such as credit card and social security information - Web Keyword Filtering - allows users to explicitly block all web pages which contain specific words or phrases - Mail Keyword Filtering - adds a filter to incoming e-mail, preventing unwanted words or phrases from entering the inbox Additional enhancements made to BitDefender Internet Security include improved Internet application control, adaptive filtering, heuristic web filtering, as well as a set-up wizard that simplifies installation. BitDefender Antivirus v10 and BitDefender Antivirus Plus v10: The new BitDefender Antivirus Plus and Antivirus products take full advantage of BitDefender's enhanced B-HAVE technology to offer PC users a new layer of security that keeps their operating systems safe from unknown viruses by detecting malicious pieces of code in a contained environment. BitDefender Antivirus Plus offers customers added functionality by integrating antivirus, antispyware, rootkit, firewall and antispam modules into one comprehensive security package that is tailored best to meet their individual needs. New capabilities now available in both antivirus products include: - Web Scanning - filters web traffic in real-time, allowing for a more enjoyable Web browsing experience - Privacy Protection - protects personal information, such as credit card and social security information, by monitoring HTTP (web) and SMTP (mail) traffic - Rootkit Module Improvements have also been made to the Internet Application Control and the Adaptive Filtering capabilities of BitDefender Antivirus Plus v10. In addition, BitDefender has redesigned the user interface of both antivirus products, making them easier to navigate. As a result, many of the new BitDefender modules require significantly less user interaction. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
