Bitdefender Online Virus Scan Review

Feb. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- When we go through on-access scanning, Bitdefender prevents new malware threats from entering to any system when the online scanning is activated. As an example when a person scan a word document for unknown threats when he/she opens it, and an e-mail message received with suspicious attachments Bitdefender will warn the person. On-access scanning will guard the computer through the real-time protection against malware and it is an essential feature of any computer security program.

In order to protect the computers from unknown infected programs, Bitdefender online has used an advanced heuristic technology which continuously examines the applications or programs which are running on the system and this technology called as “Active Virus Control”.

Bitdefender quick scan has used the technology named “in the cloud scanning” in order to detect active malware which are on any system and this technological advancement helped to get done this process within a minute. This is because it is focused on “active e-threats” and so Bitdefende online scan uses only a minimum of the system resources compared to a normal virus scan and also it required no time wasting virus signature updates because the detection process is done through remote Bitdefender servers. Unfortunately quick scan can only be detected the viruses and spyware which are active in memory or which are present in files that are running at start up of the system and so inactive viruses are not being scanned and therefore they won’t be detected.

This online scanning process can be launched without slowing down the computer because the operation is being processed by the Bitdefender servers. Another benefit is that this will stop the time wasting of the users as it does not need any updates and as it is always up to date.
