5. BITDEFENDER INTERFACE
Bitdefender Internet Security meets the needs of computer beginners and
very technical people alike. Its graphical user interface is designed to suit
each and every category of users.
To go through the Bitdefender interface, an introduction wizard containing
details on how to interact with the product and how to configure it is
displayed on the upper left side. Select the right angle bracket to continue
being guided, or Skip tour to close the wizard.
The Bitdefender system tray icon is available at any time, no matter whether
you want to open the main window, run a product update, or view information
about the installed version.
The main window gives you information about your security status. Based
on your device usage and needs, Autopilot displays here different types of
recommendations to help you improve your device security and performance.
Moreover, you can add quick actions that you use the most, so that you can
have them at hand whenever you need.
From the navigation menu on the left side you can access your Bitdefender
account, the settings area, notifications and the Bitdefender sections for
detailed configuration and advanced administrative tasks. Also, you can
contact us for support in case you have questions or something unexpected
appears.
If you want to keep a constant eye on essential security information and
