4. BitDefender modules
BitDefender 9 Antispyware contains the modules: General, Antispyware and Update.
4.1. General module
BitDefender comes fully configured for maximum security.
Essential status information about all the BitDefender modules is displayed in the
General module. Here you can register your product and you can set the overall be-
havior of BitDefender.
4.2. Antispyware module
BitDefender monitors dozens of potential “hotspots” in your system where spyware
might act, and also checks any changes made to your system and software. Known
spyware threats are also blocked in real-time. 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 can also scan your system, or part of it, for known spyware threats.
The scan uses a constantly updated spyware signature database.
4.3. Update module
New spywares are found and identified every day. This is why it is very important
to keep BitDefender up to date with the latest spyware signatures. By default, BitDe-
fender automatically checks for updates every hour.
