BitDefender Online Scanner v8 is up and running

BitDefender announced today the launch of BitDefender Online Scanner, an ActiveX utility that scans and disinfects the hard-drives of Windows-based computers. Users can access this utility, provided free of charge by BitDefender, on the BitDefender website or on partner and affiliate websites.

Version 8 differs from its predecessor, and from competing products, in that it offers free virus cleaning (i.e. not just
detection), enabled by default. Other perks include a "cleaner" user interface, the option to automatically uninstall the utility, and the ability to automatically detect and use proxy servers.

BitDefender Online Scanner is free (as in beer) to host and use. Persons and organizations interested in hosting BitDefender Online Scanner on their websites can follow this link,
while those wishing to learn more about the scanner can follow this one.
