Bitdefender`s unbeatable multi-layered protection keeps your devices safe from all new and existing online threats.
Complete Real-Time Data Protection [$IMPROVED$]
Absolute power in the best antivirus solution available today. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus works against all e-threats, from viruses, worms and Trojans, to ransomware, zero-day exploits, rootkits and spyware. Your data and privacy are safe.
Network Threat Prevention
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus stops attacks before they even begin. The new cyber threat intelligence technologies included can analyze and identify suspicious network-level activities, and block sophisticated exploits, malware and botnet-related URLs, and brute force attacks.
Advanced Threat Defense
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus uses a technique called behavioral detection to closely monitor active apps. The moment it detects anything suspicious, it takes instant action to prevent infections.
Multi-Layer Ransomware Protection
Bitdefender’s multi-layered approach against ransomware includes a data-protection layer that safeguards your documents, pictures, videos, and music against any kind of ransomware attacks. It works with the Advanced Threat Defense module to protect your most important files from encryption by ransomware.
Vulnerability Assessment [$IMPROVED$]
Scan for security holes and vulnerabilities with just one click. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus checks your PC for outdated and vulnerable software, missing Windows security patches and potentially unsafe system settings, then indicates the best fix.
Web Attack Prevention
Our web-filtering technology ensures that you never land on a harmful website. Find out whether your search results are safe to access before you actually click on a link. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus also blocks all known infected links.
Anti-Phishing
Online scams are on the rise, but our advanced anti-phishing protection easily keeps you out of danger. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus sniffs and blocks websites that masquerade as trustworthy in order to steal financial data such as passwords or credit card numbers.
Anti-Fraud
Our advanced filtering system warns you whenever you visit websites that may try to scam you.
Rescue Environment
Some sophisticated malware, like rootkits, need to be removed before Windows starts. When Bitdefender Antivirus Plus detects such threats, it reboots the computer in Rescue Environment for clean-up and restoration.
Performance
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus reacts instantly to e-threats with no compromise to your system’s performance.
Autopilot
Bitdefender Autopilot is designed to act as a Security Advisor and give you deeper insights into your security posture. Its smart capabilities mean that it can recommend security actions in the context of your system needs and usage patterns.
Bitdefender Photon™
This innovative, exclusive technology helps Bitdefender Antivirus Plus adapt to your system’s hardware and software configuration to save computing resources and improve speed and performance.
Global Protective Network
Most heavy scanning takes place in the cloud, so there is virtually zero impact on your local resources. This means your system’s speed and performance remain unaffected. And your files are always completely private: Bitdefender does not scan the actual contents of your files, and never uploads or stores them in the cloud.
Game, Movie and Work Modes
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus detects when you play, work or watch a movie, so it knows not to bother you with unnecessary requests. Depending on what you are doing, Bitdefender temporarily halts pop-ups, adjusts visual settings, and pauses unimportant background activities so you can enjoy your device to the max.

Time Machine Protection
If you use Time Machine to back up your files, you’ll want this extra security layer to stay safe from sophisticated ransomware attacks. Ransomware, an extremely dangerous type of malware, acts by encrypting precious files such as pictures, videos and other documents, rendering them unusable. With this complex feature, Mac users can restore their files without having to pay ransom. Time Machine Protection gives you the edge against any malware that tries to encrypt or destroy your backups.
Adware Blocker
Unsolicited ads popping up in your browser are unpleasant, and even Macs can pick up these intrusive adware infections that divert your focus and slow you down. Bitdefender detects and removes adware, malicious hijacker programs, unwanted toolbars and other annoying browser add-ons, so you can enjoy your Mac to the max.
Cross-Platform Malware Detection
Your Mac may be safe from malicious content designed for Windows, but you’ll want to make sure you don’t pick it up and pass it on to PC users. Bitdefender detects and removes both malware targeting macOS and threats made for Windows, so you know the files you send to others are not compromised.
