You can protect sensitive personal data by storing it in a password protected wallet and, when data is no longer required, make sure it is irretrievable with a File Shredder tool. Switching to the Privacy section reveals there are five areas covering different aspects of the topic.

The default setting is Permissive which provides protection against malware drivers and attempts to corrupt Bitdefender files. There are three levels of detection namely Permissive, Medium and Aggressive. This feature will detect and block attempts to change critical system files or Registry entries and warn about attacks performed by code injection.

You can also decide whether to leave the Intrusion Detection System as set by default or adjust it. Generally I would suggest that you stick with the status quo unless you have strong reasons for disabling a specific feature. Other functions available from this section allow you to adjust individual settings for Anti-Virus, Vulnerability, Web protection, AntiSpam and the Firewall by turning off particular features that are turned on by default. You can carry out Quick, System and Manage Scans plus opt for Rescue Mode. Taking over most of the interface area are three large icons for Protection, Privacy and Tools plus four smaller icons for Scan, Safepay, Update and Optimise.Īs protection is probably the main reason for installing this product, lets start with that feature.

There is also a standard desktop icon that opens the program’s main interface giving the user access to the functionality and tools that make up the product along with when the last scan and update were carried out. As part of its installation, Bitdefender Total Security 2015 adds a circular gadget to the desktop which then performs the task of advising you of various actions and warnings of possible threats.
