BitDefender Total Security 2010 Offers Consumers Maximum Protection, Speed and Usability

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Aug 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
BitDefender(R), an award-winning provider of innovative anti-malware
security solutions, today announced the launch of BitDefender Total
Security 2010, which includes improved optimized scanning, Active Virus
Control, first-ever usage profiles and other system enhancements to
provide industry-leading proactive protection against all Internet
security threats, along with improved system maintenance and backup,
without slowing PC performance.

BitDefender 2010's optimized scanning capability allows on-demand scans to
be completed in half the time needed by previous versions. By avoiding
scanning files known to be safe, this process improves the scan speed and
reduces the system load. BitDefender provides a database of files known to
be safe, and updates this database on a continual basis.

Active Virus Control is an innovative technology, monitoring programs
running on a user's computer as they execute and then notes malware-like
actions. If enough such actions are detected, the program which ran them
is declared harmful.

Usage Profiles -- a first among Internet security providers -- allows
users to choose the profile that best covers their primary activities.
These profile choices -- Typical, Parent, Gamer -- will be reflected in
the product interface so that each category's preferred tasks are easily
accessible (e.g. for parents, the "Configure Parental Control" button,
while for Gamers, the "Turn on Game Mode" button).

Other BitDefender Total Security 2010 enhancements include:

-- Enhanced Usability: In addition to the existing Basic and Advanced
views, the BitDefender 2010 dashboard now features a new "Simple View" to
better accommodate users with different levels of PC knowledge.
-- Intrusion Detection: BitDefender detects and blocks attempts to change
critical system files or registry entries and warns about attacks performed
by code injection (DLL injection).
-- Increased Parental Control: The Parental Control module features a
newly added reporting system allowing parents to view which websites their
children visit. Parents' monitoring activity is made more efficient, as
they can receive e-mail alerts concerning each child's activity on the
Internet.
-- Application Time Control: This feature provides parents with the
ability to set specific time intervals for which their children are allowed
to use certain applications.
-- Increased In-Product Technical Support: Users can get answers to the
most common product questions or contact technical support directly from
the product using its easy-to-use self-service module.

In addition to BitDefender Total Security 2010, BitDefender also
launched BitDefender Antivirus 2010 and BitDefender Internet Security
2010. BitDefender Antivirus 2010 provides advanced proactive protection
against viruses, spyware, phishing attacks, and identity theft.
BitDefender Internet Security 2010 covers all the security needs of your
Internet-connected family. It provides firewall and proactive protection
against viruses, hackers, spam and identity theft. Its family network
management features allow families to enjoy a safe online experience.
