BitDefender has launched BitDefender Total Security 2010, which includes improved optimised 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 optimised 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

intervals for which their children are allowed to use certain applications.
