When a downloaded file or a web page tries to deliver malware or steal login details, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus checks for threats as you browse and work. Its Windows protection combines real-time scanning, web safeguards, ransomware defense, and SafePay for sensitive online transactions.
Real-time and web protection
The antivirus monitors files and applications for malware during normal use, while web protection checks pages and links for threats such as phishing attempts. When it detects a threat, Bitdefender can block access or flag the item for action.
Run a scan when you want to check the PC on demand. Real-time protection continues checking activity in the background, including files opened or downloaded.
Advanced Threat Defense
Advanced Threat Defense watches running processes for suspicious behavior, adding behavioral detection to the program’s malware checks. This can catch activity that looks harmful even when a file’s behavior is the clearest warning sign.
Ransomware Remediation and SafePay
Ransomware Remediation protects against file-encryption attacks and can restore affected files after an attack is stopped. SafePay opens a protected browser for online banking and other sensitive transactions, keeping those sessions separate from ordinary browsing.
