Hey.
Sorry if this is brief, not being typed on the computer.
Considering Bitdefender AV/Total Security for my home PCs.. Currently have the trial installed pretty impressed.
PCs are both running Windows 7 X64 and connected to NAT/SPI router. Will the Bitdefender firewall found in Total Security bring any real benefit over running just the AV product along with Windows 7 firewall and my router firewall? I do not want numerous firewall prompts, how does Bitdefender decide firewall rules for new applications? Is there a database of settings that get automatically applied or does the user have to decide for unknown applications?
Also, I notice the configuration is very limited for the updates module. Obviously I would leave auto update on. Coming from Norton, updates were published roughly every 15 minutes. What is the general frequency for Bitdefender?
Are the updates pushed out to clients when they're published, or does the program check for updates every so often? In this case, what is the frequency of update checks the program makes. I'm mainly referring to definition updates here.
Roughly how many updates are published each 25 hour period?
Finally does the product include any reputation based file analysis and/or sandbox/behavioural detection.
How about cloud based detection of new threats?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to be sure about the product before purchasing multiple licenses.
Thanks.
