Virus Scaner Details

BitDefender Product Details Features: The purpose of the antivirus module is to ensure detection and removal of all viruses in the wild. BitDefender Antivirus uses robust scan engines certified by ICSA Labs, Virus Bulletin, Checkmark, CheckVir and TÜV. IMPROVED Proactive Detection B–HAVE (Behavioral Heuristic Analyzer in Virtual Environments) emulates a virtual computer–inside–a–computer where pieces of software are run in order to check for potential malware behavior. This BitDefender proprietary technology represents a new security layer that keeps the operating system safe from unknown viruses by detecting malicious pieces of code for which signatures have not yet been released. Permanent Antivirus Protection The new and improved BitDefender scanning engines will scan and disinfect infected files on access, minimizing data loss. Infected documents can now be recovered instead of being deleted. NEW Rootkit Detection and Removal A new BitDefender module looks for rootkits (malicious programs designed to control victim computers, while staying hidden) and removes them on detection. NEW Web Scanning Web traffic is now filtered in real–time even before reaching your browser, providing a safe and enjoyable web experience. Peer–2–Peer and IM Applications Protection Filters against viruses that spread via instant messaging and file sharing software applications. Full E–mail Protection BitDefender runs on the POP3/SMTP protocol level, filtering incoming and outgoing e–mail messages, regardless of the e– mail client used (Outlook™, Outlook Express™, The Bat!™, Netscape®, etc.), without any additional configuration. Antispyware BitDefender monitors and prevents potential spyware threats in real–time, before they can damage your system. By making use of a comprehensive database of spyware signatures, it will keep your computer spyware–free. Real–Time Antispyware BitDefender monitors dozens of potential “hotspots” in your system where spyware might act, and also checks any changes made to your system and software. Known spyware threats are also blocked in real–time. Spyware Scanning and Cleaning BitDefender can scan your entire system, or just part of it, for known spyware threats. The scan uses a constantly updated spyware signature database. NEW Privacy Protection The privacy guard monitors HTTP (web) and SMTP (mail) traffic flowing out of your computer for what might be personal information –such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers and other user–defined strings (e.g. bits of passwords). Anti-Dialer A configurable anti–dialer prevents malicious applications from running up a huge telephone bill at your expense. Cookie Control The antispyware component filters incoming and outgoing cookie type files, keeping your identity and preferences confidential when you’re browsing the Internet. Active Content Control Proactively blocks any potentially malicious application such as: ActiveX, Java Applets or Java Scripts type codes. More Features: IMPROVED Deployment and Use

A setup wizard starts immediately after installation, helping users select the most appropriate update settings, implementing a scanning schedule and providing a quick path to the registration and activation of the product. IMPROVED User Experience BitDefender has redesigned the user experience, placing emphasis on ease of use and clutter avoidance. As a result, many BitDefender v10 modules require significantly less user interaction, through the convenient use of automation and machine learning. Hourly Updates Your copy of BitDefender will be updated 24 times a day over the Internet, directly or through a Proxy Server. The product is able to repair itself, if necessary, by downloading the damaged or missing files from BitDefender servers. 24/7 Support Offered online by qualified support representatives and by accessing an online database with answers to Frequently Asked Questions. Rescue CD BitDefender Antivirus v10 is delivered on a bootable CD. This CD can be used to analyze/repair/disinfect a compromised system which cannot be started.

Kaspersky Product Details Features: Kaspersky® Anti–Virus 6.0 Kaspersky® Anti–Virus 6.0 combines reactive antivirus detection methods with the latest proactive technologies to provide your computer with the most effective protection against malicious programs. The product is simple to install and set up, while offering advanced users a range of versatile settings for fine–tuning the program. Main Advantages Combined antivirus technologies. Kaspersky Anti–Virus 6.0 relies upon integrated methods to scan for viruses: the reactive method (using signature databases) and proactive protection (behavior blocker and heuristic analysis). Optimized for use on laptops. Users of laptops benefit from an economy mode that conserves battery energy, while users of WiFi (wireless) Internet services can automatically update antivirus databases. The program has been optimized for use on laptops based on Intel Centrino mobile technology, and for use on computers with Intel processors that support Hyper–Threading technology. Simplicity and convenience. Kaspersky Anti–Virus 6.0 is installed and set up in a matter of minutes, while the context– sensitive help function helps users quickly understand the finer points of the program’s capabilities. Moreover, the program regularly notifies users of its current protection status and gives recommendations for dealing with virus epidemics and potential threats. Key Features Antivirus protection Protection for email. Kaspersky Anti–Virus 6.0 scans email traffic for viruses according to the protocol via which it is sent (POP3, IMAP and NNTP for incoming mail and SMTP for outgoing mail) on any mail program, while plug–ins and treatment for viruses in Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express mail databases are offered. Scanning of Internet traffic. All HTTP Internet traffic is scanned for viruses in real–time, ensuring that infected objects are not saved to the computer–s hard disk. Protection for file systems. Individual files, catalogues and disks can be designated for antivirus scanning. Users can limit antivirus scanning to critical areas of the operating system and startup objects to ensure that attention is focused on the most vulnerable areas of the system. Proactive protection Control over changes in the file system. With Kaspersky Anti–Virus 6.0 it is possible to compile lists of applications, the component structure of which will be controlled, thus helping to prevent malicious programs from undermining the integrity of the application. Monitors processes in the memory. The product monitors the activity of programs and processes that have been launched in the computer’s memory and, at the same time, warns users of any dangerous, suspicious or hidden processes (that is, rootkits), and of unauthorized changes in routine processes. Monitors changes in the operating system registry. The application controls the status of the system registry and notifies users of any suspicious objects or attempts to create hidden keys in the registry. Blocks dangerous macros. Proactive protection affords control over the operation of macros based on Visual Basic for Applications in Microsoft Office documents and blocks dangerous macro–commands from being executed. System restore. The system can be restored after malicious activity. Kaspersky Anti–Virus 6.0 can roll back any changes made to the system by malicious programs. Fast operating speeds Technology for accelerated antivirus scanning. iSwift and iChecker technology make it possible to limit scanning to new and modified files, or to limit scanning to potentially dangerous objects only. Antivirus scanning can be suspended during times of increased user activity to ensure that your computer’s resources are free for your use. Reduced update sizes. The size of updates downloaded to users’ PC has been reduced almost 10 times (now amounting to several tens of kilobytes) in Kaspersky Anti–Virus 6.0, making our updates virtually instant.
