Bitdefender Total Security 2013 is one of the most easiest antivirus software I used on Windows 8 because once I installed it on my computer ,Bitdefender Total Security 2013 starts protecting my computer from viruses, hackers, malware, spyware, scams and other computer security threats. Bitdefender comes with everything I need to protect my computer, data, and online identity without slowing down my Windows 8 PC.
Total Security 2013 comes with an Antivirus, Firewall, Antispam, Social networking protection, parental control, a secure web browsing for online banking and shopping, online backup software,privacy protection, file encryption, tuneup, mobile locating and protection apps, and more all built-in to Bitdefender Total Security 2013. Having all the computer security software you need built-in to Total Security 2013 means you just need to install Bitdefender Total Security 2013 on your computer to keep it secure and working well instead of multiple differenet types of PC security software which can slow down your PC, and may conflict with different brands of security software making your computer less secure and stable.
It has an Autopilot mode which will automatically protect my computer which makes decisions for how to protect your computer for you, so you can continue using your computer without experiencing slow downs. Bitdefender also automatically scans USB drives, CD/DVD discs, and other storage devices for virus programs when you insert them into my computer.
When Bitdefender is protecting my computer which uses Windows 8, Windows still runs smoothly because Bitdefender only scans my computer when it is idle, and the active virus shield does not use much system resources.
I like the Security Desktop widget for Bitdefender to easily see what Bitdefender is doing, or drag a file to the widget to be scanned.
Bitdefender is easy to use. All I need to do is install it, and let it run in Autopilot to automatically scan my computer of viruses, and update the virus definitions. There is also a useful vulnerability scanner to make sure Windows Update, web browser, and other software is up to date with the latest version of the software to protect you from the latest security problems.
Rescue Mode in Bitdefender can boots your computer into Rescue mode to repair Windows of Rootkits, Viruses, and other malware if Bitdefender can’t remove in Windows.
I also like that there is a Gaming Mode in Bitdefender to make Bitdefender use less system resources when running games, or bigger programs like video editors.
Bitdefender comes with Safepay which is a fast and secure web browser which protects your online shopping, and banking from hackers. It also runs pretty fast for a web browser. Bitdefender also warns me of unsafe websites listed on search engines like Google, and Yahoo with its Search Advisor add-on for web browsers like Firefox. Bitdefender also warns me of phishing and other online scams which want to scam me for credit card, and other sensitive information.
The Firewall in Bitdefender has a lot of useful features like protecting my computer’s wi-fi signal, and data like passwords from leaking out to the internet.
I can also use the file encryptor to password protect a file, or folder, or the file shredder to securely delete files from a computer when I don’t need it anymore.
There is also Anti-Theft software which comes with Total Security 2013 which makes it possible for you to remotely locate, lock, and erase your lost or stolen laptop, and netbooks with Bitdefender.
