Main new features in Bitdefender 9 Professional Plus

Heuristics in Virtual Environment
Heuristics in Virtual Environment (HiVE) emulates a virtual computer-inside-a-computer where pieces of software are run in order to check for potential malware behavior. This Bitdefender proprietary technology represents a new security layer that keeps the operating system safe from unknown viruses by detecting malicious pieces of code for which signatures have not been released yet.

Outgoing email scanning
Bitdefender runs on the POP3/SMTP protocol level, filtering incoming and outgoing e-mail messages, regardless of the e-mail client used without any additional configuration.

Anti-Phishing
Stay clear of malicious e-mails trying to trick you into giving away your bank account info with Bitdefender's new phishing detector.

Event logger
Infected and suspect objects, firewall alerts and update events are logged to provide support for informed decisions about the security of your system.

Hourly updates
Your copy of Bitdefender will be updated 24 times a day over the Internet, directly or through a Proxy Server. The product is able to repair itself if necessary, by downloading the damaged or missing files from Bitdefender servers. Bitdefender license owners benefit from free virus definition updates and free product upgrades.
