Virus Shield: The optional Virus Shield scans files, Web pages, and data in real time to keep malware at bay. You can disable Auto Scan in the interface's Configuration Area.

It's lightweight and unobtrusive, partly because it doesn't pack on extras like identity and privacy protection that other tools can provide, and partly because it lacks some of the automated features and support options that come with Bitdefender's premium antivirus solutions. New features include Safepay, a secure virtualized browser (complete with a virtual keyboard and Wi-Fi hotspot protection) which protects your payment data while shopping or banking online, the USB Immunizer which immunizes any flash drives from virus infections when connected to your computer, and Bitdefender Anti-Theft which protects your personal information on lost or stolen devices by locating, wiping or locking your device remotely.īitdefender comes complete with a Safebox feature which automatically backs up your files to a secure cloud storage (the first 2GB of storage space is free) and can be accessible from any device.Bitdefender Antivirus Free offers strong basic protection from computer viruses, malware, rootkits, and emerging threats.
