PC users now have option of free, fast virus scan app from world's No. 1 antivirus maker

 

Bitdefender, the designer of the world’s best antivirus software, has launched the free 60-Second Virus Scanner desktop app, adding a layer of elite cloud-based protection to PCs worldwide in an all-out assault on malware.

The Bitdefender 60-Second Virus Scanner offers all PC users the confidence of knowing their system is checked by proactive, scanning technology that will pinpoint active threats.  And it’s available for free, any time, at the click of a desktop icon.

“With the 60-Second Virus Scanner, we aim to bring our top of the line technology to as many PC users around the world as possible,” said Bitdefender Chief Security Strategist Catalin Cosoi. “We’re convinced our free technology will impress PC users with its efficiency and silence. We expect a lot of people who use the scanner to find out that their existing antivirus solution isn’t catching everything it should.”

The 60-Second Virus scanner works in conjunction with any antivirus software, allowing PC users to double-check whether their existing security software is doing its job. The 60-second Virus Scanner works silently, guarding systems in the background while users work or play, and sending real-time alerts as a threat appears. The cloud-based technology has virtually no impact on the user’s system.
