PRESS RELEASE
New security features, lightning-fast Photon technology, iron-clad banking and shopping protection
Bitdefender®, the award-winning provider of innovative antivirus solutions, has launched an even faster and more precise new line of products that form-fits to each computer for top speed, clads private data in iron protection and makes the internet a simpler, safer place for users.
The line breaks new ground with Bitdefender PhotonTM, a new technology that tailor-fits to each user's computer for fast scanning, a quicker boot time, smooth interaction with apps and the same award-winning detection rate. Bitdefender innovation also introduces the New Wallet, which allows quick access to crucial data while keeping it safe.
"Rampant cybercrime, explosive growth in internet use and advances in criminal technology have made internet security more important than ever this year, meaning we had to design the best product ever," said Bitdefender Chief Security Strategist Catalin Cosoi. "We aimed to create a product that can adapt to each user's system for maximum efficiency and highly discreet protection, while offering new features and advanced technologies for safe online banking, protection of personal information and the fastest response to the most aggressive cyber threats out there."
Besides new features, the new line, crafted for an era of heightened internet dangers and users' net-centric lives, enhances and expands the features that helped Bitdefender win Product of the Year from AV-Comparatives as well as other top industry awards in the past year.
Bitdefender's Antispam technology - the most awarded in the history of the prestigious VBSpam awards - now operates from the cloud. A completely new Security Report quietly assures users of their safety while steering them toward even greater security with custom recommendations and notifications.
Bitdefender SafepayTM, which has efficiently protected online transactions since it was launched a year ago, now keeps sensitive data secure within easy reach with the power of the New Wallet.
Autopilot allows users to watch movies or play games without fear of interruption, privacy protection in Facebook guards users from privacy breaches and dangerous links, Anti-Theft lets users lock, wipe or find a stolen device remotely, and parental control now includes coverage on all Windows environments - including Windows 8 and RT.
"After Bitdefender's tremendous success in the past few years, we know that experts and the general public are looking to us for leadership in navigating this new era of online crime," Bitdefender's Cosoi said. "I am confident that our new generation offers that leadership and will more than meet the challenges ahead."
