BitDefender Internet Security 2010:

• Antivirus: In our opinion the antivirus software produced by this suite of internet security software is second to none.  The software has been shown to provide some of the fastest scans while requiring some of the lowest requirements (on-access and on-demand memory) in the industry.  BitDefender’s use of kernel-level virus protection is state of art code that is regularly (hourly) updated for up-to-date virus signatures and definitions.  It scans all PC communication and runs in real-time which can stop threats before they infiltrate your computer.  This suite also uses Active Virus Control which monitors activity of applications to analyze file behavior and stop even the stealthiest of viruses.
• Firewall: Although the BitDefender firewall may not be the very best firewall out there it definitely will be very hard to beat.  It uses a flexible 2-way firewall that is gamer friendly and has an integrated Wi-Fi monitor to help protect your computer from intruders trying to access your Wi-Fi network.  This firewall certainly does the trick in blocking malicious traffic trying to enter and exit your PC.
• Antispyware: This antivirus firewall software is designed to protect your computer and your personal information from a variety of identity threats, including Trojan horses, adware , keyloggers and browser hijackers. BitDefender Internet Security 2010 has new intrusion detection tools that block attacks made by DLL code injection, and stop unauthorized endeavors to change your system files, registry keys and access your memory.
• Extra Security and Features: BitDefender’s parental controls are easy to use, powerful and very flexible.  Their website filter software has improved greatly from earlier versions.  We still saw some false positives but they were few and far between.  The new File Vault software is pretty cool in that it can protect your sensitive and personal data.

Overall, this software suite was rated very high by our staff.  We believe that any home user will not go wrong by purchasing this software for their computer.  Besides the great security, this suite is fairly inexpensive and is easy to use.  This makes BitDefender Internet Security 2010 a top antivirus firewall software.
