Bitdefender Safepay Editor's Review

There is no denying the all encompassing role internet plays in human life nowadays. Apart from email, chatting, browsing, millions of people are buying products and services online all over the world. Online banking has also been lapped up by a majority of web users, as it is. While online transaction and shopping is quite convenient, there are risks of data theft and user information getting hacked too. Using quality antivirus or security software is a solution but it would be better to have another layer of protection, in form of a secured browsing app. Those users who purchase a lot of stuffs online or need to resort to online banking often can try Bitdefender’s Windows application named SafePay. Home users can try the free version of this app.

Bitdefender is known for its award winning security solutions and SafePay is a product from its stable to address woes associated with data theft or leakage which can happen during online transaction or shopping. Basically, the app is a secure browser with its sandbox which isolates browsing sessions from your PC’s operating system. This makes it harder for hackers or data thieves to access your credit card information or transaction details. The company says this app offers users with a hardened Web browser interface that is much more fortified than regular browsers.

Bitdefender SafePay is compatible with PCs running Windows XP and later versions. However, it supports only 32 bit version of XP. The installer has a tiny size and can be downloaded from company website. Installation is quick and does not involve many steps.

When you run the app, it will display a secure desktop-a new work environment separated from the desktop. The safe browser is based on open source project Chromium, the same source which has been used to make Google’s popular browser Chrome. The Safepay browser does come with some nifty additions by BitDefender that you do not find in regular browsers. One instance is the useful Virtual Keyboard feature. It prevents malicious key-logger apps from recording keystrokes. This feature is only available in leading antivirus apps.

The app also performs website URL filtering to thwart malware intrusion. It is also effective against phishing and fraudulent websites. Bitdefender free version lacks the hotspot protection feature though. Some users will grudge the cap on installing hotspot protection and extensions in the secured browser. Bitdefender says on its part such extensions can be exploited by hackers and so they have been kept out of reach. Java support is deactivated by default but you can enable it. The users can switch between regular desktop and secondary desktop screen by a button click.

Bitdefender’s cloud-based signature database is used whenever users start a new browsing session with SafePay. To use the app, you have to create a MyBitdefender account. You can log in the account with Google or Facebook profiles as well. On first launch, the app scans running processes in the PC for potential risks. When that is found clear, the Safepay environment appears as a browser you can start using.

SafePay lives up to the claim made by Bitdefender. It successfully defeats majority of commercial malware, and stealthy screen capture tools etc. The app does not interfere with installed antivirus app as well.

Positive Points:
•    Safe Browsing environment, sandbox mode.
•    Virtual Keyboard feature useful.
•    Backed by Bitdefender’s proven security technology.

Negative Points:
•    Lacks Wifi security in free version.
•    Java disabled in default settings.

Conclusion:
Bitdefender SafePay is an app meant for users who use the internet mostly for shopping and transaction purposes. However, it is also effective for safeguarding your browsing for other needs and sandbox steps up security against various malicious threats. Inclusion of Virtual Keyboard feature deserves praise. Shortcut for switching between primary and secondary desktops is another nifty feature. Apart from the lack of Wi Fi security in the free version, there is not much to grudge about this app.

Rating: 3.5/5
