Scary Internet Fact #271: It takes an average of 20 minutes for an unprotected computer to get infected with a virus once it's connected to the internet. More and more, viruses and other security threats are coming right to your doorstep in the form of fake emails, attachments, and even links embedded in IM text.
It doesn't matter how smart you are, it's pretty much impossible to actively monitor every single piece of data that comes your way - not to mention the fact that your entire family is also using the network, and you can't guarantee that someone else won't slip up at some point.
After all, how many first graders are going to suspect that a Dora the Explorer E-card could contain a dangerous viral payload designed to obliterate your hard drive and upload your tax returns to the internet?
BitDefender Internet Security constantly scans and monitors all web, email, and instant messaging traffic for viruses and spyware, even allowing you to encrypt your IM conversations for greater security. Ever mindful of how manipulative and crafty identity thieves can be, BitDefender Internet Security also blocks phishing attempts and has safeguards that prevent your private info from escaping your network via email, web, or instant messaging. Finally you can bank and shop online with confidence!
Added bonuses include superior firewall protection and a Wi-Fi monitor that prevents unauthorized access - you know, like that guy parked in front of your house with his laptop. Install BitDefender and watch him drive on, down to the nearest neighbor with an open Wi-Fi connection.
BitDefender even offers extensive parental controls that allow you to block access to inappropriate websites and email and impose strict limits on when your children can use the computer! Lame for them, but peace of mind for you!
Is this deal for a single or a 3 PC 1year licence ? If it's for just 1 PC it's not such a good deal - in fact you can get it cheaper elsewhere. I used Bitdefender IS2008 until it expired earlier this month - very good but this year Kaspersky are offering killer deals, less than £20 for a 3-user licence. Having said that - if this deal's a 3-user licence - I'm staying with Bitdefender.
Adrian, yes, the deal is for a 1 year, 3-PC license :-)

What bad luck - I was ready to buy it on dec 31st then the bits du jour server went down ! Never mind - I'd been trialling it for a few days. I compared it against Kaspersky IS2009 and decided to go with Bitdefender IS2009. I'd even bought the Kaspersky software. Here's I chose Bitdefender :- The download speed when using news servers isn't affected with bitdefender - it is with kaspersky's software. I like the FileValut option - many software providers charge about $19 for read morethis alone. The ability to manage all your PCs on your network, start scans, update keys, update antivirus tables etc. all from 1 PC is well thought out. The interface is good. One niggle is - the ability to block all network traffic seems to have disappeared in this version. It used to be a right-click option from the icon in the taskbar. - Roger, is there any change of including this in a future upgrade ? By the way, I bought Bitdefender IS2009 on 1st January thorugh the bitdefender website. I'd highy receommend this software.
Whoops, the Kaspersky has the 'block network traffic' option as a right click. I've just checked on Bitdefender2008. It would be a nice feature though. :)
FYI Adrian, we're re-running the BitDefender promotion on January 7th. Best! -roger
