BitDefender Antivirus is a security tool that protects your computer from dangerous files such as trojans, viruses and spyware. When you install it, it launches at computer start up and monitors your computer in real time. While BitDefender monitors malicious processes, it can also interfere with legitimate programs attempting to use the Internet. In this case, you can temporary disable it when you want to.
