Revamped Bitdefender Antivirus Free for Windows has a brand-new security architecture

While security apps may not be the software that everyone gets excited about, there is no getting away from their importance. Despite this, there are a couple of things that stop many people from investigating security solutions. Firstly, modern version of Windows include protective features, and secondly there is the concern about additional cost.

With the newly updated Bitdefender Antivirus Free for Windows, both of these concerns are rendered moot. Not only is the software completely free of charge, the features and options it offers go far beyond anything Microsoft has provided with Windows. This latest version is notable for various reasons, not least of which is the fact that it has been completely re-engineered and re-architectured.

While not the main draw to the software, the interface for Bitdefender Antivirus Free is simple and intuitive meaning that it is non-threatening and approachable for just about all levels of computing ability. This is all well and good, but what's of greater importance is the range of security features on offer.

As you would expect from the name, there is advanced virus security and this includes protection against both known threats and suspicious activity which could be indicative of malware that is yet to be identified. You have the peace of mind that real-time threat protection brings, but also the added control of on-demand scanning.
