- Social Network Protection - Bitdefender filters/blocks social-networking specific e-threats by scanning the links you receive from your Facebook and Twitter friends, monitors your privacy settings, and much more!
- Search Advisor - The Link Filter relies on intelligence provided by Bitdefender Cloud services to flag malware and phishing attempts in search engine results.
Total Privacy
Threats to your privacy keep diversifying. Your e-mail, your messaging, your entire Web presence and activities can be targeted. Bitdefender addresses them all, protecting your data with a range of specialized modules and functions.
- Personal Data Filter - Prevents critical data (such as anything even resembling your social security number) from ever leaving your computer.
- Antiphising - Analyzes and blocks websites that support various scams or credit card phishing attempts.
- File Shredder - Ensures that no traces of your deleted sensitive files remain on your PC
Full Speed
Bitdefender 2013 takes “scheduled scanning” to a whole new level, as the scanning only takes place when your system is idle.
- Scan Dispatcher - The Scan Dispatcher finds and uses time-slices when system resource usage falls below a certain threshold to perform recurring scans of your entire system. This way Bitdefender does not interfere with user-initiated actions and does impact system responsiveness.

Editor's Review
One of the most comprehensive security suites available, BitDefender Internet Security 2010 offers advanced antivirus protection, anti-phishing and fraud security, and malware blocking and filtering. With a built-in automatic firewall and wifi security controls, BitDefender Internet Security 2010 could be one of the most impressive security suites on the market.
There are many security suite applications out there touting themselves as the 'best' on the market, and while many are highly powerful, few act effectively as a standalone PC security application. When it comes to online protection, there are several factors to take into account - antivirus, anti-spam, and security and anti-fraud protection.
Thankfully, BitDefender Internet Security 2010 covers all the major bases of web security effective. From wi-fi controls for local networks and small offices all the way up to high-level antivirus testing and anti-fraud protection, Internet Security 2010 offers powerful, easy-to-use solutions to common PC security problems.
For non-browser protection, BitDefender Internet Security 2010 gives users the ability to lock high-risk and confidential files into a private 'file vault', removing the risk of exposing important personal information to hackers. The built-in file shredder makes removing unwanted files incredible simple - all traces disappear with a single click in Internet Security 2010's simple interface.
Finally, personal messages and IM (instant message) conversations are encrypted and saved, allowing users to store and reference IM information when necessary. Parental control options allow users to block out unwanted websites, applications, and messaging tools, ensuring that PC use falls within their barriers.
While BitDefender Internet Security 2010 provides effective protection and security for PC users, it comes with a significant performance cost. While high-end PCs will have no problem running Internet Security 2010, users on dated hardware and low-end PC equipment may experience sluggish performance and heavy memory usage.
BitDefender Internet Security: What We Liked
Very comprehensive, so much so that Internet Security 2010 could operate as a total security suite on its own, without the need for extra security applications.
Built-in wi-fi protection and firewall saves time and prevents the need for configuring Windows' default firewall.
Internet filtering options are perfect for monitoring children's PC use or controlling office internet access.
BitDefender Internet Security: What We Didn't Like
Performance can be sluggish, particularly on low-end PCs. While gaming options are provided, the software still isn't ideal for use alongside resource-heavy applications.
Bitdefender Support
Users can access online support from BitDefender's website, which includes basic documentation and how-to guides, a knowledge base, and email customer support. Instruction is provided to help users fight against malware and potentially dangerous applications.
