Bitdefender Windows 8 Security Editor's Review

With attackers and malicious web users on the prowl, you cannot use a PC without a suitable security suite, for both online and general needs. While there is no shortage of anti-malware apps in market, a few entities have released software specifically meant for Windows 8, Microsoft’s newest operating system. Bitdefender, one of the most popular and leading computer security solution firms, has come up with its Windows 8 Security suite.

Windows 8 Security can be downloaded from the Bitdefender’s website without much hassle. However, you may also download it from other sites especially if you want the app at a discounted price. The app is offered with 3 licenses per user. You can try the app in trial mode before paying licensing fee. The app has a frugal footprint and installation is much faster than what you get from other rivals. As expected, the PC will be scanned once before installation is performed. The app is equipped with Microsoft’s much touted Early Launch Anti Malware technology for added security.

Bitdefender has designed Windows 8 Security to suit the UI of Microsoft’s newest OS. Its interface is a class above that of the company’s existing regular security apps. When it comes to core virus and malware detection capability, Windows 8 Security passes tests with flying colors. Scanning speed is decent and the app detects majority of malware threats, from online and other routes. It comes with an inbuilt USB scanner which is quite handy.

The Windows 8 Security by Bitdefender comes with a handful of nifty features that will please security aware users. The app comes with a firewall and anti-spam tool. For safer online transaction and web browsing, Bitdefender SafePay, has been included too. It is basically a Chrome based browser that works in sandbox mode to keep your data and browsing session out of reach of malicious lot. To ensure the app does not intrude when you are enjoying gaming sessions, you can use its safe games list feature. You may even set gaming mode as default.

Bitdefender’s Windows 8 Security comes with a feature to check vulnerability of your PC to security threats. It checks for many types of vulnerabilities such as weak passwords and apps that need updates for fortifying security at all levels. It does consume more resources than some rival contenders such as AVG and ESET while scanning for malware.

Positive Points:
•    Intuitive Interface, gels well with Windows 8 UI.
•    Easy to setup and configure.
•    Good virus detection and cleanup score.
•    Includes firewall and Antispam features.

Negative Points:
•    Heavy on resources while scanning.

Conclusion:
Bitdefender has done a nice job of making a security suite specifically meant for Windows 8. The app performs well in most departments and learning curve is minimal. Features like advanced vulnerability scan, ELAM and USB Immunizer are quite useful for all users. It also lets you use PC uninterrupted owing to its gaming mode. For its price, the app offers quite a lot of features and overall good performance. The only thing that goes against Windows 8 Security is its higher resource consumption while running scans. However, given the fact most Windows 8 based PCs come with reasonably powerful hardware and its scan speed is fast, this should not act as a deal breaker.

Rating:4.5/5
