Hackers are relentless in their efforts to steal personal information, so you can never be too careful about securing online transactions.
Bitdefender Safepay is a protected browser, a sealed environment that is designed to keep your online banking, e-shopping and any other type of online transaction private and secure.
Bitdefender Safepay offers the following features:
• It blocks access to your desktop and any attempt to take snapshots of your screen.
• It protects your secret passwords while browsing online with Password Manager.
• It comes with a virtual keyboard which, when used, makes it impossible for hackers to read your keystrokes.
• It is completely independent from your other browsers.
• It comes with built-in hotspot protection to be used when your computer is connected to unsecured Wi-fi networks.
• It supports bookmarks and allows you to navigate between your favorite banking/shopping sites.

By default, Bitdefender detects when you navigate to an online banking site or online shop in any browser on your computer and prompts you to launch it in Bitdefender Safepay.
