BitDefender Antivirus 2010 proves to be very impressive again this year. They scored very well in every antivirus test we threw against it, with only a few minor deficiencies.
Real-time antivirus protection was excellent (one of the best we've seen), Resource usage was very low, and overall PC protection against viruses and other malware was top-notch.
In addition to improvements in antivirus detection, BitDefender Antivirus 2010 also brings improvements in the user interface, making the software quite a bit easier to use.
They've split the interface into three separate sections: Novice, Intermediate, and Expert.
This is becoming a trend across many antivirus software, but BitDefender does a great job in presentation and ease of use.
The only area that didn't perform as well as we'd expected was their spyware / adware protection.
It wasn't bad, and still had an acceptable detection rate, but we hope they'll beef up this area next year.
When you consider the great antivirus protection rate, the excellent resource usage, and user interface refinements, BitDefender is an excellent choice for core antivirus protection at a low price.
We think BitDefender Antivirus 2010 is well-rounded, powerful antivirus software for any PC.
