BitDefender Total Security 2009 Beta Release 2
WGS reported on a BitDefender beta on May 31st. Release 2 has hit the site and is ready for download. If your not registered with BitDefender click here and get signed up. They have a great product. It is not necessarily dubbed a Windows Home Server product but they make a great client product. If you already have a PP1 test network you might want to give it a try.
By participating in this campaign you will get an exclusive preview of a whole set of brand new features that we invite you to put to the test:
• Online Backup: you can back up sensitive data online to keep it safe in case of unfortunate events such as computer theft or hard drive failure. This beta release will include Online Backup for Windows 32b systems, but beta 2 will include this feature in both 32b and 64b installation kits.
• Increased privacy protection through Instant Messaging Encryption: you can make sure that no one eavesdrops on the instant messaging traffic between your PC and another machine on which BitDefender is installed. BitDefender Total Security 2009 supports Yahoo! Messenger 8.1 and Windows Live Messenger 8.5.
• Increased Storage Protection with File Vault: you can securely store personal information or sensitive files on your computer, making them invulnerable to theft or to a security breach.
• More control via home network management: you can manage the security of your home network from a single location. This allows you to remotely configure the BitDefender software from other computers in the network and to schedule and run tasks such as scans, tune-up and update.
• Other Improvements: an improved Gamer mode, a Laptop mode, increased performance with lower resources consumption, enhanced usability, and firewall (IDS and IPv6 support) support.
