BUCHAREST, ROMANIA — (Marketwire) — 07/28/11 — , an award-winning provider of innovative Internet security solutions, today announced the release of the new Total Security 2012, offering “sleek and silent” defence — proactive protection from threats such as hackers, viruses, and identity theft attacks, without slowing PC performance.
Bitdefender Total Security 2012 includes an overhauled user interface and has been designed to meet the demands of computer users that require protection to work 24/7 without interrupting their work and enjoyment. Key new features include social networking protection, an Autopilot mode and scan dispatcher to maintain system performance. Bitdefender Total Security 2012 is being launched alongside sister products Bitdefender Internet Security 2012 and Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2012.
“We-ve given the home user product range a striking overhaul, offering sleek, silent defence from today-s e-threats,” said Bogdan Dumitru, Bitdefender CTO. “The new interface is very easy to use, and the addition of the optional Autopilot feature will meet the demands of those users looking for a hassle-free security experience.”
“Bitdefender-s technology has been leading the way across independent testing and consumer organization recommendations for some time now, and we-re certain Total Security 2012 will help to further our reputation as the strongest choice for digital defence,” commented Dumitru.
When in Autopilot mode, the product makes intelligent, optimal security-related decisions without input from the user. This means no pop-ups or alerts, and nothing to configure after setup. However, users are still able to easily access the dashboard in order to make their own in-depth decisions.
Bitdefender-s new social networking security feature filters and blocks social-networking specific e-threats by scanning the links users receive from friends on Facebook, while also monitoring and advising on privacy settings. Meanwhile, the scan dispatcher finds and uses time-slices when system resource usage falls below a certain threshold to perform recurring scans of the entire system. This way Bitdefender does not interfere with user-initiated actions and does not impact system responsiveness.
The range of new and improved features in Bitdefender Total Security 2012 also includes:
Bitdefender Safebox monitors important files and instantly backs them up to a secure remote server whenever a change is detected. Backed up files become available to users- other computers on which Bitdefender is installed. Bitdefender Total Security 2012 comes with 2GB of free storage.
If e-threats, such as rootkits, cannot be removed from within the Windows operating system, the computer is re-booted in Rescue Mode — trusted environment which is then used for cleanup and restoration.
Launches the browser in a Bitdefender-provided environment, isolating it from the operating system. This is done to prevent browser-based e-threats from exploiting vulnerabilities to gain control of the entire system.
Drag and drop modules to get quick access to the actions you perform most often directly from the main window.
Bitdefender 2012 easily installs with just a few clicks, and in half the time required by the previous version.
