The BitDefender Internet Security 2009 reviews gave this package full marks for Ease of Use, Effectiveness, Updates, Feature Set, and Ease of Installation.

No matter how effective your internet security software may be, if it’s not kept up to date, you’ll end up compromising your level of protection. Many computer users don’t keep up with the maintenance on their antivirus software and may even turn it off if they find it slowing down their system. BitDefender is designed to update itself hourly and runs quietly in the background, providing a high level of protection without affecting your computer’s performance. The BitDefender Internet Security 2009 review describes it as an “install and forget” proposition, leaving you free to work and play without the hassle of having to monitor your antivirus software. A gamer mode is even available to ensure high performance for online gamers.

BitDefender performed well in independent testing, with a 98% effectiveness rate, providing excellent protection against viruses, trojans, spyware, worms, and malware. The BitDefender Internet Security 2009 review points out that this software is equipped to remove both known and unknown viruses. Known viruses are identified by matching them with virus signatures, but unknown viruses can also be detected by a sophisticated system that tests suspicious code and can block viruses before they are reported. BitDefender excels at protecting your system from incoming viruses and can even filter them out of your incoming HTML stream before they have a chance to do any damage.

BitDefender AntiVirus 2009 installed in under half an hour, with default settings to suit the needs of the average user. Advanced features are available for enhanced security or for users who are looking for a particularly aggressive level of protection. These include a Privacy Protection feature that can prevent spyware from capturing your credit card numbers or other information. But as observed in the BitDefender Internet Security 2009 review, once you’ve installed the software it does its job without you having to fuss or tinker with it. If you do run into a problem, BitDefender’s help and support got a good rating as well, with free phone support or live chat online available when you need it.
