Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac
Additional features
Web filter, phishing protection for Safari,
Chrome and Firefox.
Installation
The setup wizard displays a Read Me file,
which includes system requirements, support
contact information, and instructions for
testing the program with the EICAR test file.
Installation takes only a few further clicks,
with the only option being which hard disk to
install the program on. When the main
program window is opened, it displays a link
from which the web-protection add-on for
Safari can be installed. The program can be
uninstalled by running the DMG installer file
again, which displays a link to the uninstaller
file; this is explained in the program’s local
help file.
Main window
Status is shown in the top pane of the
window. Three buttons below start different
scans: Full, Custom and Critical Locations.
Subscription information is shown in the form
of number of days remaining, and can be
found at the bottom of the window. Settings,
Help and Update are not shown in the main
window but can be found in the menus.
Mac menu bar
Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac displays a
SystemTray icon from which the program can
be started:
We did not recognise the icon used as being
anything to do with Bitdefender, and wonder
why the “B” graphic was not used.
