- bitdefender antivirus plus 2019
Best antivirus protection against threats on Windows PCs
Optimized performance preserves speed and battery life
Multi-layer ransomware protection now with ransomware remediation new
Includes privacy tools such as Bitdefender VPN and Bitdefender Safepay
Just like the other members of the BitDefender family, Bitdefender
Antivirus Plus 2019 offers advanced real-time protection against all
types of malware. Of course, multi-layer ransomware protection is still available, so your PC will remain safe from ransomware attacks.
Rescue Mode feature is still present, so if your system is infected
by a rootkit, you can boot to a safe environment and prevent all
malicious applications from booting with your system.
Advanced Threat Defense feature is also available allowing
Bitdefender Antivirus Pro 2019 to analyze application behavior in
real-time and inform you if anything suspicious occurs.
Online security against malicious websites
Similarly to other members of BitDefender family, Bitdefender
Antivirus Plus 2019 offers Web Attack Prevention feature that informs
you if any of your search results is malicious. Thanks to this feature,
you’ll never visit a malicious website by accident again.
Anti-phishing and anti-fraud features are still present, so you’ll be
certain that your personal information is safe at all times. The
application also has a Social Network Protection feature that will help
you identify malicious links on social networks.
Password manager, Safe Online Banking, and other features
If you’re concerned that malicious users might obtain your personal
or banking information, we’re pleased to inform you that Bitdefender
Antivirus Plus 2019 has a Safe Online Banking feature. Thanks to this
feature, you can make safe purchases in a dedicated and secure browser.
If you’re concerned about your privacy, we’re happy to inform you that Password Manager
is still available. Using this feature you can store all your
passwords, personal information, and other important data, and use it to
instantly log in to certain websites or to fill forms. Of course, all
your data is password protected, so other users won’t be able to access
it.
The application also has a File Shredder feature allowing you to
permanently delete any file from your PC in just a couple of clicks.
Vulnerability Assessment feature is also there allowing you to see
potential vulnerabilities on your system, including missing system
updates, missing passwords or outdated applications.
VPN
is available in this version as well, but you’re limited to 200MB per
day and forced to use a random server. If you want to remove these
limitations, you’ll have to purchase a VPN subscription.
Maximum performance without high system usage
Just like all other applications from Bitdefender family, Bitdefender
Antivirus Plus 2019 uses Bitdefender Photon technology in order to
optimize hardware usage and bring maximum performance.
The application also supports cloud scanning allowing your system to
use its resources for other important tasks. The application also has
Battery Mode that will automatically tweak your system settings in order
to save your battery.
If you enjoy in multimedia or games, there are Game and Movie modes
available, so your multimedia experience won’t suffer due to your
antivirus.
Anti-Theft, Firewall, Safe Files, File Encryption and other missing features
For the most part, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2019 offers the same
features as Bitdefender Internet Security, but unfortunately, some
important features are missing. The most notable missing feature is the
firewall, so if you want to control which applications have Internet
access, you’ll have to use Windows Firewall instead.
Safe Files feature is also missing, so you can’t lock your files and
prevent other applications from opening them. Another missing feature is
File Encryption, so if you want to encrypt your files and prevent other
users from opening them, you’ll need to use a third-party application.
Wi-Fi Security Advisor and Webcam Protection features are also
missing, but most users probably won’t miss them too much. Another
feature that is missing from this version is Parental Control, so if you
want to monitor and limit the computer usage for your kids, you’ll need
to consider a different software.
Anti-Theft feature isn’t available in this version, so if you want to
keep track of your devices, you might want to consider using a
different software.
Conclusion
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2019 is missing certain features, most
notably Anti-Theft, Parental Control, and Firewall. This isn’t a major
problem since you can use other applications that offer the same
functionality.
In addition to the missing features, we have to mention that
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2019 is available only on Windows. If you
want a multi-platform security solution, Antivirus Plus might not be for
you.
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2019 offers high-quality protection that
we expect from Bitdefender, but it’s missing a couple of somewhat
important features. However, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2019 is the most
affordable out of all Bitdefender products, which is definitely a plus.
If you’re a home user that wants a solid antivirus protection without
any advanced features, or if you simply want an affordable but reliable
antivirus, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2019 is just what you need.
- Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2019
Kaspersky Anti-Virus is a premium anti-malware utility designed to
detect and eliminate viruses, worms, Trojans, adware, auto-dialers,
suspicious packed and multi-packed files, along with other web-based
threats that may harm or steal data from the computer. It is backed by a
real-time safeguard and other security utilities made to ensure
round-the-clock PC protection against malicious software.
Hassle-free setup and clean UI
The installation procedure is speedy and does not require customization,
unlike other popular antivirus products. Its interface has a pleasant
look and well-organized structure with four large and flat buttons
providing fast access to scans, virus definition updates, reports and
the quarantine. Expanding this section reveals two extra buttons for
tools and software upgrades.
Multiple scan modes and in-depth configuration
Depending on the user's file priorities and time willing to spend looking for malware, Kaspersky puts at their disposal four scan types, namely full, quick, custom and removable drive mode, in addition to the contextual scan that permits users to rapidly verify any file, folder or drive via Windows Explorer's right-click menu.
Those who are not satisfied with the app's factory settings are free to make modifications when it comes to the security level, automatic action on threat detection, removable drives scan mode on connection, scan scope, administrative or other user accounts, and task scheduling if necessary.
Additional options focus on types of detected objects, exclusion rules, trusted applications, self-defense mechanism (block any attempts to modify or delete Kaspersky Anti-Virus files, memory processes and registry entries), software compatibility (to run Kaspersky smoothly alongside other apps and avoid conflicts), monitored ports, and encrypted connections.
Extra security tools and settings
The app can become non-intrusive by disabling notifications on events, audio, news and promotional materials. Furthermore, users may examine all program activity in reports and manage suspicious items in the quarantine, as well as limit the size and duration of logs and contained objects.
Kaspersky can be optimized to preserve battery life, play video games without any intrusions, and reduce system resources consumption at startup, as well as to perform idle and rootkit scans. Ongoing tasks can be monitored and modified from a task manager.
Additional utilities are designed to scan the OS and third-party apps for vulnerabilities, create a bootable disc with the Windows files in case of severe malware infections, scan the system and fix issues caused by viruses or OS crashes, clean up the HDD by eliminating unnecessary files, as well as evaluate the security status of Internet Explorer settings.
