Bitdefender Antivirus Plus is a professional antivirus software for your computer. When it comes to protection, viruses and malware are potential threats to your data, accounts, and sensitive information. If you want to keep yourself and your computer secure, then you must go for an antivirus, and Bitdefender is a great one.

The main features

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus protects against malware, spyware, and adware. Adding to that, it also provides safety against ransomware by offering a multi-layer protection solution for such vulnerabilities. There are options to keep it simple or to go advanced. Either way, the Bitdefender Antivirus Plus can defend your computer against the latest threats.

If you want to keep it simple, there is the option to use the quick scan which will run a quick checkup on your computer and scan for any potential threats. If you want to make a full scan or go advanced, there are options to conduct a full system scan which will take more time, and search your entire computer and files in depth to see any potential threats.

Ransomware Remediation

One of the most common and dangerous threats that can damage your computer and sensitive files is ransomware attacks. Once your PC is attacked, then it is incredibly difficult (read almost impossible) to restore it or defend yourself unless you pay what the hackers are asking for, which is a huge sum of money or cryptocurrency.

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus covers ransomware through a built-in feature dedicated to protecting from such attacks. It is called Ransomware Remediation. It does two things that ensure to keep your computer and your files safe.

The first thing that it does is restrict applications from altering your files or the extension of the files. The second thing it does is if such an attack has hit your computer, it will help you decrypt all the files that were encrypted by the hacker or the threat.

Profiles

One of the most important aspects of the Bitdefender Antivirus Plus is the option to use premade profiles to accompany you as per what you are doing on the computer at the moment. For example, there are the following profiles pre-created:

1. Work: It adjusts antivirus settings to keep your emails protected and your PC snappy
2. Movie: It ensures the elimination of any potential notifications/interruptions
3. Game: It enhances performance and eliminates any potential issues

You can also configure each of these profiles as per your custom preferences.

Pricing

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus comes with a 30-day free trial period in which you can try out all the features of the paid version before choosing to buy or not to buy. The lowest plan starts at $29.99 for one device for one year, but it varies depending on the number of years and number of devices. If you max out the plan at 10 devices for 3 years, it costs $179.99.

The verdict

Additionally, it does not take any toll on your computer’s performance so that’s always good.
