Industry praise further positions BitDefender as a global IT security leader
[USPRwire, Thu Dec 14 2006] BitDefender®, an award-winning provider of antivirus software and data security solutions, today announced that it received the top rating of Advanced+ in AV-Comparatives November Retrospective/ProActive Detection test (www.av-comparatives.org).
AV-Comparatives, an independent testing institution, analyzed the effectiveness and reliability of the proactive detection module of 16 antivirus vendors against unidentified or mutated infiltrations. The tests are conducted four times a year and BitDefender has consistently received Advanced+ certification.
Powered by BitDefender's unique B-HAVE heuristics-based scanning engines, its software solutions integrate antivirus, antispyware, firewall and antispam modules into one comprehensive security package, tailored to meet the needs of computer users worldwide. Its antivirus and antispyware module ensures detection and removal of all viruses and spyware in the wild.
BitDefender’s B-HAVE technology is the most advanced heuristics detection technology in the antivirus community, and has been developed using BitDefender’s unique virtual and multiplatform detection methods. BitDefender is the only security software vendor to offer this type of heuristics antivirus engine at the desktop and the server level for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD platforms, giving users proactive protection against malware on any network level.
“Top business publications have recently published articles on how Romania is quickly becoming the country where the world’s largest computer software manufacturers are turning to for their security solutions,” stated Bogdan Dumitru, BitDefender’s chief technology officer. “IT software giants choose BitDefender because our software has been proven time and time again to accurately detect and protect consumers and small businesses better than any solution available. BitDefender’s new AV-Comparatives Advanced+ certification further acknowledges that the best branded security vendors are often not the most powerful.”
Today, BitDefender is trusted by over 41 million users worldwide and offers the industry’s most efficient line of anti-virus and data security defense. The company is a recipient of countless awards for its flawless protection of both enterprise and personal computer use software.
