BitDefender is a popular antivirus solution much to the likes of the 3 Best and Free Antivirus Softwares i wrote about earlier. However,unlike the others BitDefender Free Edition doesnt provide real time scanning, rather it is an on demand antivirus software.

BitDefender Free Edition uses the same ICSA Labs certified scanning engines found in other BitDefender products, allowing you to enjoy basic virus protection for no cost at all. 

BitDefender Free Edition is an On-Demand virus scanner, which is best used in a system recovery or forensics role. If you are someone who uses an always on internet connection, or wants to have a real time virus protection, i would suggest you check out the 3 Best and Free Antivirus softwares.

Various Features Provided by BitDefender 10 Free Edition ( 2009) 

Virus scanning and removal
On demand scanning – Powerful scan engines ensure detection and removal of all viruses in the wild every time you need it. 

Scheduled scanning 
The Scheduler lets you plan ahead, and schedule full system/drive scans in the off hours, when you won’t be using your computer.

Immediate scanning 
With just a right click you can check your files and folders.

Skinable interface
You can express yourself, designing new interfaces, or you can use those drawn by others. 

Quarantine 
By isolating the infected files in quarantine, the risk of getting infected diminishes. You also have the possibility to send these files for further analysis to BitDefender Labs.

When launching a scan you may choose to create a report file where you can see statistics about the scan process.

You might have the best of the best Anti-virus, but below are some points, i feel we must keep in mind always

1.) Having the best Anti-virus doesn’t mean you can click or install anything. There are other categories of infections like spyware, malware etc which might go unnoticed even by the Best Antivirus softwares.

2.) Ensure that your Virus definitions are always up-to-date. This helps you stay abreast with the latest patches.

3.) Complement your Anti-virus with an Anti-Spyware Software installed. This keeps you safe from the spyware and malware softwares. Read about the Best Anti-Spyware Applications.
