[Review] Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition (2013)

Not long after the antivirus test results by the Av-Test.org issued, issued Bitdefender antivirus free edition, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition. Free antivirus last version 10 they never updated since 2007. How do the features and capabilities of this new free antivirus? As the results of my conclusions when viewing test best antivirus 2012/2013 of the Av-test , it is clear that the most superior is Bitdefender: Internet Security 2013. Maybe this is why Bitdefender Antivirus soon release Free, the free version of the previously released almost 6 years ago. Bitdefender stated that the engine (engine / technology scans and protection) used in the free antivirus is the same as that used by Bitdefender: Internet Security 2013, so this is a plus point for the detection ability of the virus / malware is comparable with the best products. But what about other features? Some features Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition include: Real-time Shield, this means every activity and every time the computer will be the antivirus protection. Active Virus Control, a new virus detection capabilities Intrusion Detection System, ensuring the security of applications that access the Internet / network, by stopping harmful if indicated. HTTP scanning, Bitdefender scan all the links that we access the internet, preventing it from danger, deception and blocking if it is not safe. Anti-Rootkit, to scan and blocking malicious applications if there is a kind of a very hidden from the windows. Auto Scan, automatically scan Bitdefender Early Scanning boot, ensuring that the system is scanned at the beginning of boot time One of the demo ability Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition: See features, Bitdefender Scan capability is admittedly very good, but Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is itself a simple product (minimalist) from the product berbayarnya, unlike Avira, AVG or Avast which provides various features / options in the free antivirus, Bitdefender hardly give any option for the user (the main view as above). After the install, we could hardly manage any. To scan only, we will not find in the main menu, but it can only be done via the right-click drive / folder. For users who really lay with computers, may not be devolved is quite helpful, because after installing the user does not need it at all thinking about what needs to be set. But for some users it is less profitable. Some examples, we can not set the folder / file specified is not scanned, we can not set the update, how often auto scan and more. One of the most troublesome is the action Remove (Delete) Automatic file or program that is considered dangerous without confirmation. Because it could be one of the detection so that the file we immediately lost. We can only see the logs (list of what is being done antivirus). Beyond Good scan capabilities, the use of memory (RAM) that is light, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition in terms of features / options are still lagging behind compared to other free antivirus. If you want to try, please download the program from the page here => Bitdefender Free Edition , then run the program (need internet connection to install it). In order to run more than one month, you must register or login with Facebook / Gmail (like Avast).
