Bitdefender Threat Scanner Review

Bitdefender is the most effective malware detection rate among AV comparison sites and runs quickly without affecting system performance. It offers extra subscription benefits like machine security and ransomware removal, depending on which plan you choose.

Its antivirus suite combines traditional signature-based scans with machine learning to provide the highest detection rates of its kind. It also comes with a great web security collection, a quick VPN as well as complete toolkits for tuning up your program, a secure browser as well as a number of privacy protections to ensure your data is secure. In my limited testing the anti-spam feature of Bitdefender’s blocked less than 1percent of legitimate emails and its ransomware security was equally effective.

Another aspect that sets Bitdefender’s threat scanner apart from the rivals is a vulnerability scanner that checks for weak passwords, obsolete programs and drives, and Windows virtual security threats vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers. The feature can be executed manually or scheduled and takes just 5 minutes to complete. It is a big improvement over rivals that typically require up to an hour to perform the same task.

Whenever you encounter problems with Bitdefender’s customer service, it’s available through live chat or by phone and has been consistently among the fastest in the business. The community forum is a great source of information that can help you resolve issues on your own. The knowledgebase of Bitdefender has a lot of articles.
