How To Win

This is not a draw – your feedback is rewarded. We appreciate quality feedback and we will grant our prizes accordingly. Here are a few tips for increasing your chance to win:

It’s not the number of bugs that matters the most, but how critical or hidden they are

Don’t report already known issues

Increase your chances by testing Windows, Mac OS, Android and Parental Advisor

Tell us if any features are too difficult to use

You get extra points for good ideas on improving features

Check the testing guidelines for each platform

What's New

 

Advanced Threat Defense

The new Advanced Threat Defense technology identifies suspicious processes and actively protects your system from even the most advanced malware. The UI has been done from scratch to offer the best usability and also provide all necessary information whenever a threat is clocked on the device.

Webcam Protection

Protect your privacy and prevent webcam leaks. Webcam Protection notifies you when apps try to access your webcam, and blocks unauthorized access.

Safe Files for Mac

Protects your selected files from unauthorized and potentially dangerous changes done by other applications downloaded from the Internet.

Safe Files for Windows

Ransomware can cost users precious files or money – and frequently both. Safe files provides protection against ransomware for important user documents and other files. Only trusted and known applications have access to protected files, while unauthorized applications get automatically blocked.

Bitdefender Firewall

Bitdefender Firewall adds an extra layer of protection, by blocking potentially malicious applications that want to connect to the Internet. User personal information stays safe from hackers and data snoops.The new Firewall has been completely redesigned to improve usability and allow better management of application rules.

Bitdefender Parental Advisor for Mac

Parental Advisor expands on Mac by addressing two key features. Parents will be able to monitor their child’s web browsing by blacklisting/whitelist URLs or by blocking specific web browsing categories block access to specific apps/programs on the child’s Mac device.

Improved web-based login for Android

Users will benefit from the same login functionalities, but now based directly on the Bitdefender Central interface. This will enable us to bring security improvements made in this area faster, to all users
