No matter if it’s parental controls, firewall settings, virus scanning or system optimization that you want to use, you can easily do so in just one window – no need to open other windows that could lead to confusion.

Reliability

Bitdefender is one of the best antivirus and antispyware programs available in the market today, not only because of the protection it gives but also in the way it performs optimally without compromising the performance of your computer. It actively blocks viruses from entering your system, and in the event that some threats slip through the security protection shield, they would quickly be detected and removed.
