Review: BitDefender Total Security 2009

BitDefender is the small up-and-coming security vendor. With a focus on the end user and confusion-free usage, BitDefender’s Total Security 2009 package gives you well-rounded coverage in an appealing package. However, does the branding "Total Security" live up to its name? The Tech Herald put the software through its paces to find out.

BitDefender’s Total Security 2009 offers all the normal protection layers. The software offers layered defense from Malware by including an engine that scans for Rootkits, Worms, Trojans, and potentially harmful applications based on action alone. The firewall stops targeted scans for passive infection and includes parental controls. There are also little features to round out the software package.
