BitDefender provides real-time protection against viruses, spyware and phishing. The program also includes features that can encrypt instant messenger conversations and warn you when you visit a potentially malicious website. Although the real-time virus scanner is important for protecting your computer, you might need to temporarily disable the feature when you install new programs. BitDefender provides a quick way to enable and disable the real-time protection and virus scans.
