Bitdefender Threat Scanner Review
Bitdefender has one of the highest rates of malware detection among the AV comparison websites and runs efficiently without affecting the performance of your system. It also offers a selection of additional subscription benefits, such as machine protection and ransomware recovery, based on the plan you choose.
Its antivirus suite blends machine learning with traditional signature-based scanning to give some of the top detection rates in its class. It also comes with a terrific world wide web safety collection, a speedy VPN and complete program tune-up tools along with an encrypted browser and a number of privacy protections to protect your data. In my limited testing, Bitdefender’s anti-spam filter flagged less than 1% of legitimate emails and ransomware protection was equally robust.
Another aspect that sets Bitdefender’s threat scanner apart from the rivals is a vulnerability scanner that looks for weak passwords, outdated programs and drives, and Windows vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers. The feature can be executed manually or scheduled to run and takes just 5 minutes to complete. It’s a huge improvement over competitors that typically take between 30 and 60 minutes to complete the same job.
Bitdefender offers live chat as well as telephone support for any issues you might encounter. It has always been one of fastest in the business. The community forum provides an abundance of information to help you solve problems yourself, and the knowledge base has a vast collection of useful articles.
