New and Improved in BitDefender 2010
More Protection
Many of today’s stealth viruses are designed to avoid antivirus detection by initially laying dormant only to attack your PC when it is most vulnerable. BitDefender 2010 features a cutting-edge security system, Active Virus Control, which constantly monitors all of the processes on your PC, 24/7, blocking any malicious behavior before it can cause any damage.
More Speed
The abundance of new viruses calls for faster ways to detect them. BitDefender’s Optimized Scanning avoids the scanning of files that are known to be safe. The result? BitDefender 2010 scans your PC in half the time needed by previous versions, while using less resources.
Easier to Use
Whether you’re a security expert or a novice, with the new BitDefenderUser Profiles you can easily manage your PC’s security. The product interface adapts to the chosen profile and provides quick access to the main security functionalities you are most likely to need (Parental Controls for parents, or Gamer Mode for gamers). BitDefender 2010 also features three dashboard views–Novice, Intermediate, and Expert–to better accommodate users with different levels of PC knowledge.
Improved Intrusion Detection
BitDefender detects and blocks attempts to change critical system files or registry entries on your PC and warns you about attacks performed by code injection (DLL injection).
Improved In-Product Technical Support
You can get answers to the most common product-related questions or contact technical support directly from the product using its easy-to-use self-service module.
This is a very dangerous program to have. It totally reformated my harddrive and damaged all my programs.

I used this for my laptop of which I use mainly for emails and I have no games or other extra programes in this computer other than the ones that came preloaded. My issues came from things in emails so that is probably why it scanned mine so quickly and does not intrude on my computer time with constant warnings. This scans your computer for viruses and trojans twice as fast as McAfee or Norton. I had just downloaded a free trial of McAfee and it did not catch all the trojans that this found. After it scanned and cleaned my computer, it ran nearly twice as fast as before. I knew it had something wrong as it seemed to get slower day by day and I had already tried system restore to see if I could clean it out that way. This really cleaned it all up and did the trick. I love it. I’ll stay with this product over the others that are out there from now on. I have windows XP in my computers but it is also compatible with VISTA, the newer version too. If you have a dual core processor it will work even faster. I have never had any theft issues but I can see from the the program that this would certainly remedy that situation and keep it from happening. I did turn off my system restore feature and pop up blocker when I loaded this program. It didn’t say to do that but in the past when I have entered new programs of this type they never worked right until I turned off system restore and the pop up blocker on my internet first. Be sure to turn your system restore back on after you restart the computer from loading the program and then set a date to be saved.

When it has came down to computer safety, we honestly need much more of it than we honestly ever know. With a new anti-virus program called Bitdefender, it is honestly a very easy to program and setup from start to finish. But when it has came down to it, there are a few problems with it. It honestly doesn’t work as well with Windows XP, as it is tuned more strongly with Vista or the upcoming Windows 7. The only gripe is if you have Windows XP in your computer, you honestly would need to upgrade your computer memory and speed because it would honestly work much better with the anti-virus program. Otherwise, you’d be much better off with other getting another brand like CA or Norton, because it would work much better with that version. It does however handle well with Netbooks, just as much as regular everyday computers too, if you’re planning on buying one. Still, Bitdefender Anti-Virus 2010 isn’t a bad software that helps you protect your computer, but it could’ve had more than meets the eye.

I love being able to shop, bank and email with security. My old spyware had expired and I hadn’t bought a new one and PRESTO, I remembered I got Bitdefender. Works very well.
