Intego VirusBarrier DP, the Dual Protection version of VirusBarrier, that includes VirusBarrier X5 for Mac virus protection and BitDefender Antivirus 2008 for Windows protection, can brag that it’s the best in proactive protection against Windows viruses. In a test by the Anti-Malware Test Lab, BitDefender Antivirus 2008 received the Gold Proactive Protection Award for best Windows antivirus. (Mac programs weren’t tested.)
Proactive protection means that the program is good at fighting new viruses by spotting actions that may be malicious. As the test site explains, proactive methods of antivirus protection “allow antivirus software to combat malicious programs that have undergone modifications and those that are as yet unknown.” This is especially important in the Windows world, where many viruses are changed slightly to try and sneak by standard antivirus protection, and where heuristic, or behavioral, analysis is essential to protect computers.
This top rating for BitDefender Antivirus shows why VirusBarrier DP is the best all around virus protection for Mac and Windows. VirusBarrier has received accolades from Mac press, and it is regularly rated the best antivirus for Mac. With BetDefender on your side, you’ll be sure that both on your Mac and on your Windows installation, you have the best protection available.
