If you can’t afford a paid antivirus, this Bitdefender product will help keep your PC nice and safe. It features a real-time shield that protects your system from infected files, it employs proactive technology to detect potential threats, it protects against phishing attempts and unsafe websites, it detects and blocks rootkits and unknown threats.
There are a few other things you’re going to like about Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition: you don’t need to have a powerful Windows PC to use it (the system requirements are quite low), you can easily get it up and running, it won’t slow down your PC by hogging system resources, it won’t bother you with annoying pop-ups or offers.
