We already seen all the features of Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 and also had arranged a giveaway contest for Bitdefender Total Security 2013 licenses giveaway exclusively for the readers of Xtendedview. Hope you enjoy the contest. Bitdefender released new exiting products called Windows 8 Security or you can say Bitdefender Windows 8 Security. People are crazy to use the latest and fastest operating system from Microsoft. We already discussed few how to articles regarding Microsoft Windows 8 titled:
- Expectations from Windows 8 Operating System.
- 5 ways to take awesome screenshots in Windows 8.
- How to disable Windows 8 defender antivirus completely.
Using Windows 8 is really great and fastest experience ever could with all other versions of Windows, but what about security? Microsoft already provided Antivirus in Windows 8 by default and it is Windows Defender. So do you really need to buy an antivirus program? But I will prefer you that you should go for any dedicated antivirus or Internet security solution. You can find why you should disable Windows Defender and go with other premium brand for more security and ease of operation.
Bitdefender Windows 8 Security is the first dedicated antivirus for Windows 8. Few other brands in the antivirus industries are also in the beta stage for the Windows 8 protection program.
In this article we will briefly explain the installation, use and new features of Bitdefender Windows 8 Security.
Before going to see the installation and all just take a look on why you should go with this antivirus in your Windows 8 OS, even if there is the Windows Defender present.
As compared to Windows Defender it has the following features:
Bitdefender is number one according to PCMAG and AV-Test.
Installation:
You can try a fully featured 30 days trail version from the Bitdefender. You can find the download link here on this page: http://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/windows-8-security.html
Remember that it will give you a small installation file that helps you to download setup from the internet and can install directly to your computer. You can see the download screen.
There is no option to download the setup on one computer and then install it offline or on another computer. You can only be able to download and install Bitdefender Windows 8 security to your Windows 8 online from either Windows Store or from this installation file. This file scans your computer for primary infections. Sometime it happens that virus terminate the installation of any antivirus, so this scanning before installing main setup is best technique used by Bitdefender.
Installation may take up to several minutes to several hours depending on the speed of internet you are using. Please be patience it takes more time than usual. You can resume the setup even your internet got disconnected or any other download file error.
After successful installation you can see the following screen. Select get started.
Once you click on the get started, installer will ask to whether you would like to send anonymous data to Bitdefender server to improve the overall protection and find ways to protect from new attacks. This will enable the program to send the user data to the Bitdefender along with the error that program encounter during the use. It helps the developers to release perfect updates time to time to resolve the issues facing by users.
On the next screen it will ask you whether on Autopilot and Automatic Gaming mode. I recommend you to keep on both of the features. Autopilot will help you to take all decision automatically by program itself. You will get be asked for anything, just like new infected file detected-Delete it, Updates available-start updates. Also the Automatic Gaming mode provide automatically optimize the Windows for best gaming experience. It reduces the memory usages and clear unwanted memory junks.
After complete and successful installation you will see this desk Screen of Bitdefender Windows 8 Security:
It gives you an overview to all the areas like your license information, Antivirus status, Firewall, Privacy and updates. If anything going wrong in any areas then there will be a notification by different color than usual, as you are seeing in the image above.

As we have always been used with apps specifically designed for the protection of our Windows Operating system, Bitdefender just got upgraded to our Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems. Now we can feel a little bit safer knowing that there’s an app out there specifically designed to operate on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
One of the few or maybe the only one antivirus that comes in a free edition package (trial version, that is) only in Romania, but also all around the world, Bitdefender for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 is one of the cutting edge antivirus software on the market. Although Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 has its specific antimalware defender, we will see in a few rows below that Bitdefender comes on top on the Best Protection, the usability and performance scale compared to the Microsoft defender and other similar tools.
Bitdefender Windows 8 Security – strong points
Bitdefender is the head winner of the January – December 2013 awards from the Independent IT Security Institute AV-Test and they have the right to be, classifying them on first place for best protection above Karspersky antivirus, Symantec and McAfee.
Also, as we all know, an antivirus usually takes hold of a lot of PC memory and in this case makes our Windows 8 work a little bit slower. Howver, Bitdefender classifies in first place on the Lowest Impact on Performance charts and still above Karspersky, Symantec and McAfee with a grade of 5.3 , 6 being the lowest impact .
A few key features Bitdefender has and arevery useful in my opinion are:
- the Early Start-up scanner that protects your operating system right from the boot of your PC using a cutting edge ELAM technology
- another feature is the Proactive app scanner, because many when start using a new operating system like Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 want to try new apps designed only for Windows 8. This feature analyses the potential harm and notifies you if the app has been compromised
- another cool thing we need to keep in mind about Bitdefender for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 is the ability to filter personal data. With the new and improved Bitdefender, we can stay a little bit safer from this threat and won’t have to worry about our information being stolen.
- hand in hand with the filter of our personal data comes the antiphishing feature that basically blocks any untrusted website that might lead to the same thing, the theft of your personal data and credit card information.
Using BitDefender on my Windows 8.1 laptop
After downloading BitDefender Windows 8 Security from its official webpage, you can choose to give a try first or buy it from the website. It will cost you $85 per year on as much as 3 machines. If you go for 2 years, it will cost you $130. But if you’re not sure you want to make the jump to a paid antivirus, there’s always the free download option.
After downloading the BitDefender Antivirus, you will proceed with the install. What’s really is that, as you can see from the screenshots below, it performs three different operations, one by one – scanning, downloading and installing.
I’d say that it didn’t take more than 10 minutes to have the whole shebang installed and running on my Windows 8.1 laptop. After it was done, it said that it didn’t find any viruses, but I was surprised to see that it has already warned about my WiFi connection. You see, I just bought a new router and haven’t set up a password. BitDefender knew that and urged me to take action.
Ideally, this is the normal dashboard that your BitDefender Windows 8 Security program should have.
What’s nice about this antivirus is that not only it behaves great but it also looks great and is really easy to use. On the main dashboard, here are all the things that you can do and settings that you can tweak:
Antivirus
Naturally, you can choose to keep the antivirus always on or off, but it’s advised to keep it on. The settings page of Shield allows you to change on-access scanning as well as active virus control levels. There are also various settings for Vulnerability, files that you want to exclude from scanning and the quarantine menu.
Privacy
In the privacy control setting, you can choose how you want to go about antiphishing, whether you want to enable instant messenger encryption and if you have some special rules for data protection.
Firewall
The firewall settings are also neatly arranged, allowing you to set rules and also see in real time your network activity. You can also set intrusion detection system levels, and perform a number of other activities, as you can see in the screenshots from below.
Antispam
Antispam is a really neat feature for those who are working online a lot, like me. You can choose how you want to protect against spam and it even comes with options to secure your cloud files.
SafeGo
I don’t spend that much time on Facebook, but was curious to try out BitDefender’s SafeGo feature and wasn’t disappointed. A must have, especially now, when a lot malware is spreading via social media.
Events
The Events menu is where you will be alerted about any suspicious activities or actions that you should take. BitDefender is deeply embedded within Windows 8, so as you can see, it recommended me to make the latest update through the Windows Update tool, which I did. It’s also cool that it fetches the data from Windows Update, thus letting you know what’s new and allowing you to make the install from inside BitDefender.
There’s also the Parental Control feature that allows you to make sure your kids don’t visit websites that are inappropriate for their age or might even be dangerous. You can also switch from User Mode to Autopilot if you don’t want to bother with settings every day, which is what I did.
Overall, I would say that the Bitdefender for Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 operating systems is probably the best option in 2014 for you. Beside the fact that it got the award for best antivirus at a number of contests and is equipped with the features necessary to protect your computer and information, it also makes the computer run smooth without any kind of problems to your daily activities.

After the launch of Windows 8, there has been introduced an internet security system especially for Windows 8 named Bitdefender Windows 8 Security. This is a package of antivirus which has adopted certain special features of Windows 8. It is quite easy to install the program. Let us get a detailed look at the Bitdefender Antivirus security system.
As we just have mentioned that is it not so tough to install this particular antivirus security especially made for Windows 8. This particular antivirus is now widely available on the internet. Initially it does a scan to check out all this and then easily get downloaded and installed.
Bitdefender Windows 8 Security Features overview
It is well embedded with a number of good features. In this antivirus, a protector protects your system from almost all sorts of threats. Let us get a look at the safety features of the antivirus software.
Firewall
Firewall is nothing but one type of software that keeps the computer system safe from the internet threats. This Bitdefender Windows 8 Security is featured with firewall which is indeed a great thing in itself. The firewall security system protects the network from any sort of attack or internet threats. Thus you can avail safe browsing on the internet. Having firewall in use is a great virtue indeed.
Filtering
It often happens that we receive messages that contain virus or spam. This particular internet security system helps us to identify the spam messages by filtering it from the inbox and saving it in the spam folder. This is again a great facility that Bitdefender Windows 8 Security offers.
Scanning
As we all know whenever we are putting in some document in the computer system through some other device like a mobile phone or a pen drives it is always suggested to scan the document. Not only that, in fact even when we download or install some program, scanning is very much important. This is mostly because most of the documents in such devices or the downloaded programs mainly those which are available at free on the internet contains virus. Scanning helps us to detect if there is any virus and as soon as it finds any virus it restricts the program from getting installed in the system. The best part of the scanning facility is that it is manual which is means you can scan documents of your choice. This is really a great feature embedded in this very Bitdefender Windows 8 Security software.
Special feature
Here in this Bitdefender Windows 8 Security software, you can have a couple of special features. Firstly it holds the support of Microsoft’s ELAM or Early Launch Anti-Malware specification that implies that this system has been launched before any other boot driver and it is capable of scrutinizing them to safety and security. In addition to that the program is also capable of analyzing the security problems that often take place with the Windows 8. At the same time having this software in hand you can keep yourself updated all the time and thus get in touch with the current and future status of your computer system.
Besides the above features there is another great part and that is the interface of the antivirus. It comes up with a much handy interface. With the help of this software you can have security protection in a multiple areas; you can see the status of the program, the setting and other things.
Pros and cons
However this Bitdefender Windows 8 Security is featured with a number of facilities but it comes up with certain significant pros and certain significant cons.
First if we talk about the pros then we must mention that it has scored very high in antivirus test while the firewall and the clunky featured often come out as cons as it restricts you to access several things that you actually do not want to block.
Price
There are a number of antiviruses that you may avail at free of cost. However, Bitdefender Windows 8 Security is specific for Windows 8. This is basically not a free antivirus security system and you can get it at several prices on the internet. It has been charged quite reasonable however it is better to go by the quality and then the price as it is the matter of security. Its price starts from $19.99.
