Bitdefender’s Unobtrusive Firewall
Bitdefender’s firewall correctly blocked the web-based port scan tests I hit it with, and even popped up a port scan warning. It correctly put all the system’s ports in stealth mode. To be fair, if you have a home network, the devices connected to it already enjoy the protection of network address translation, or NAT. Their IP addresses are local to the network, not visible from the internet, and hence not subject to port scan attacks. My test system needs a special configuration to avoid protection by NAT.
Bitdefender Internet Security – Simple Spam Filter
Spam filtering becomes steadily less significant as more people get mail through a web-based service like Gmail or Yahoo that filters out spam. But if you use another provider, perhaps an ISP that doesn’t filter spam, you need a local spam filter to protect your inbox. If your account uses the standard POP3 to check mail and SMTP to send messages, Bitdefender can help.
Bitdefender Internet Security – Parental Advisor
As with parental monitoring in most modern parental control software, you manage profiles for each child (no limit on how many) from the online console. A local client enforces the results on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices, though iOS support is limited.
Setting Limits for Your Kids
Back in the online console, click a child profile and click Websites. Bitdefender can block access to sites in more than 40 categories, some clearly inappropriate, some more innocuous. Based on the birthdate you entered for the child, it sets an initial selection of categories for blocking. For my imaginary ten-year-old, the blocked categories included Pornography, Mature Content, and Web Proxy.
Bitdefender Internet Security – Video and Audio Protection
The idea that some online perv could connect to your webcam and spy on you is enough to give anyone the creeps. And don’t think the camera light will give away this behavior; there are ways to suppress that light.
