9. Privacy Control
BitDefender monitors dozens of potential “hotspots” in your system where spyware
might act, and also checks any changes made to your system and software. It is
effective in blocking Trojan horses and other tools installed by hackers, who try to
compromise your privacy and send your personal information, like credit card numbers,
from your computer to the hacker.
BitDefender also scans the web sites you visit and alerts you if any phishing threat is
detected.
