Do you need that? Again, there is not enough guidance within the program to help users make that decision most browsers offer add-ons that will also screen for these scripts.Īs for the default privacy protection, BitDefender will look for instances of private information leaving the computer and guard against spyware attempting to install on the machine. BitDefender's HTTP scan blocks malicious ActiveX and JavaScript, and is part of the antivirus and antispyware protection.

And BitDefender is the only antivirus product we've seen that advertises a Gamer mode, minimizing protection alerts and resources while you're off playing games.įor out-of-the-box protection, for the most part, we agree with BitDefender's default settings. For the moment, the icon is green, but we're on the fence whether to keep the Identity Privacy feature enabled or disable it completely.īitDefender Antivirus 2008 covers a lot of ground, protecting your system from viruses, spyware, privacy breaches, phishing attacks, and rootkits. Rather than fill out real information, we created a faux Social Security number of 123-45-6789 to satisfy BitDefender's request without disabling the feature. Keeping Identity Privacy enabled assumes that you are comfortable providing personal details such as passwords and credit card information. Now what? To get the Identity Privacy icon to go green, we either had to create a rule or turn off the feature, yet we were not given enough information to make that choice.

BitDefender Antivirus 2008 is perhaps the most improved of the antivirus applications we've seen so far this year.
