Bitdefender Threat Scanner Review

Bitdefender is easy to download from the Mac App Store and, after you’ve granted it access your security settings in System Preferences and full disk access, it’s good to go. It updates itself automatically with new virus definitions and allows you to choose between a Quick Scan or a Deep Scan. You can also choose to scan files or external volumes at a specific location. The program also comes with an effective anti-theft feature that allows you to locate your device and set off an alarm, delete its items remotely, and also block it from connecting to wifi networks.

It also includes a knowledge base on the internet with videos and articles. A fast custom scan on my test device took just 5 minutes. It’s also one of the few rivals that have the vulnerability scanner, which checks your device for outdated software and weak passwords and offers a convenient scheduler to perform quick custom scans.

Overall, Bitdefender is one of the top malware scanners. It has consistently delivered impressive results in independent laboratory tests. It has the best spyware detection rates and a well-rounded collection of protection features, including parental and password manager controls. It even offers machine protection in a number of its business plans, a major bonus compared to competing services.

Bitdefender is easy to use and categorizes its features in 3 categories: Privacy, Protection and Utilities. Protection is the component of Bitdefender that focuses on the features that are common to all antivirus programs, including real-time protection, firewall monitoring and ransomware countermeasures. Privacy is concerned with ways to ensure your safety while surfing the web. For instance a safe browser that runs websites within the sandbox can prevent malware from infecting your normal browser. The Utilities section includes useful utilities and optimization tools.
