Bitdefender Total Security 2013 Provides ultimate silent security for your net-centric lifestyle. It remains one of the best high-end security suites around. This update gives you a fully isolated Web browser for secure financial transactions.Fights every category of e-threats, safeguards your social networking activities, then adds file encryption, online backup, tune-up, and more!Bitdefender Total Security 2012 offers ultimate silent security for the net-centric lifestyle, fighting every category of e-threats with best-of-breed technologies.
Bitdefender isn't the biggest name in security, but name recognition doesn't equal efficacy. In a real-world test, Bitdefender completed its initial scan during installation in 3 minutes, 5 seconds. During two subsequent uninstalls and reinstalls, the installation scan consistently took around three and a half minutes. After the installation scan, the suite averaged Quick-scan completion in 2 minutes, 12 seconds, over three runs, about the same as last year.
Features and support
The Safepay browser is the keystone new feature in this year's edition. The browser takes existing sandboxing technology and closes off the rest of your operating system as it creates a safe space for you to browse the Web. The focus here is on virtualization, not speed or features.
There's new remote control for managing virus definitions, adding social network protection, and accessing your secure cloud storage. Parental controls have been beefed up, the Safebox cloud storage now allows file sharing, the interface is more customizable, and a new antitheft option lets you track the whereabouts of a missing device or laptop.
Total Security 2013 selection of tools and options remains competitive. Along with antivirus and anti-malware detection and removal engines, the suite has phishing protection, a spam guard, chat encryption, multiple scan levels, a firewall, parental controls, a system performance optimizer, file encryption, and online backup.
The AutoPilot system that sets most notifications to silent, automatically deals with most threats encountered, and basically ensures that your security is running but not bothering you. Similar to Bitdefender's competitors' "silent" or "gaming" modes, it's on by default, so you could conceivably install Bitdefender and never look at it again. The toggle for it sits at the top right of the main interface, so people who want more control over their security can easily deactivate it. Bitdefender 2013 also has a gaming mode that only silences notifications.
A browser-independent module protects you across all five major browsers by scanning Web traffic before it reaches the browser. Meanwhile, a vulnerability scanner will check your computer for outdated programs, drivers, and patches, and recommend solutions.
The Safebox feature, which automatically backs up your files to a remote server when changes have been detected, syncs and now shares files across multiple computers running Bitdefender. Safebox comes with 2GB of free storage, the same as most of Bitdefender's competitors.
Reduced last year, tech support remains more anemic in Bitdefender than it used to be. Sadly, that's nothing new in the security suite business.
