BitDefender Free Edition (32-bit) free download 2023

Description

BitDefender uses one of the most advanced anti-virus engines, the ICSA Labs certified scanning engine, which enables it to intercept, detect, and remove viruses of any kind. This free antivirus software download is an on-demand virus scanner, which is best used in a system recovery or forensics role. If you are on an “always-on” Internet connection, it is strongly reccomended for you to consider using a more complex antivirus solution. Anti-virus offers:

Real-time Shield – The real time shield is designed to protect access to the entire system. This means that files are scanned as they are accessed or copied. For example, the files you just downloaded from the Internet are scanned immediately.

Active Virus Control – Active Virus Control is an innovative proactive detection technology that is able to detect new potential threats for which default protection has not yet been released, very fast and accurately, thus providing an essential protection layer.

Intrusion Detection System – This technology makes sure that applications trying to access the Internet or the network are not masked e-threats, by marking them whenever its behavior is suspect and by stopping them if the score becomes high.

B-Have – B-HAVE proactively detects unknown threats that other products miss by analyzing applications behavior in a safe environment. If no malicious actions are detected, B-HAVE starts the program normally; otherwise, it will automatically quarantine or delete it.

HTTP Scanning – Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition also scans all the links you are accessing from your browser, checking them for various scams or credit card phishing attempts and blocking them when they are unsafe.

Anti-rootkit – This technology is used to scan and block rootkits, a stealthy type of software, often malicious, designed to hide the existence of certain processes or programs from normal methods of detection and enable continued privileged access to a computer.
