Bitdefender Internet Security

Antivirus solution with firewall, antispam, anti-ransomware, password manager, parental control, vulnerability scanner, autopilot, intrusion detection, and more

Bitdefender products have always been at the forefront of computer security for a very long time, boasting very good results on most virus protection tests and rivaling most top-tier big suits of its competitors.

The latest iteration of Bitdefender brings three main editions for users to choose from such as Antivirus Plus, Internet Security, and Total Security. While the Antivirus Plus is designed to appeal to the security needs of most day-to-day users, the second, the Bitdefender Internet Security suite, is specifically aimed at users who desire more protection for the online environment, adding a lot of useful features to the already feature-packed Antivirus Plus.

Comprehensive security suite for the online world

Bitdefender Internet Security’s main window looks almost identical to that of the basic suite. Once installed, Internet Security offers a few useful recommendations to its users via the AutoPilot feature. From the Dashboard section, users can effortlessly launch quick scans, open the VPN, activate SafePay banking protection, as well as install Internet Security on other devices.

Users can also add a “quick action” in this menu, meaning that they can pin features that they use the most to the dashboard. Underneath the Dashboard, on the left-sided menu, there are three more important pages appropriately named Protection, Privacy, and Utilities.

While they are also visible in the Bitdefender Antivirus Plus product, Internet Security has the advantage of having all Protection and Privacy features available (in the Antivirus Plus product, some of them are greyed out). Since we are on the subject, it’s also worth noting that the features from the Utilities section still require an upgrade to the Bitdefender Total Security package.

Boasts an impressive set of features

It should not take more than a couple of minutes to figure out that Bitdefender Internet Security is a very comprehensive security suite, with features that are not found even in some top-tier suites from the competition. Installing it on any Windows computer will provide users with a top-notch antivirus, a firewall, spam filter, malicious website blocking, online banking protection, extremely comprehensive parental control, VPN, a password manager, a security file deletion feature, and basic file encryption options.

The Parent Control feature is definitely one of the best features of this suite. It allows users to manage profiles for each child (the app supports an unlimited number of profiles). The features uses local clients to enforce the security results on a wide range of OSes such as Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Users can also establish how much screen time is right for each individual child, as well as block inappropriate content and make browsing safer.

Bitdefender Internet Security is also very well equipped at dealing with ransomware. One of the main novelties for the latest version of Internet security is the Ransomware Remediation feature which acts as a protection layer for all your personal documents. The product also detects and repels most online threats thanks to its network-based adaptive layers of protection.

Reliable antivirus protection, and so much more

To conclude, Bitdefender Internet Security is a fantastic security suite for you and your family. It truly goes well beyond what most antivirus suites offer with a plethora of useful and innovative features. It offers all the bits and bobs of most antivirus solutions, with the added benefit of providing parents with more control over their children’s online activity, as well as less common features such as file encryption, file shredding, webcam protections, and so forth.
