FREE ANTIVIRUS BUILT WITH AWARD-WINNING TECHNOLOGIES

WITH AI-DRIVEN THREATS EVOLVING AT A BREAKNECK PACE, YOU NEED A FREE ANTIVIRUS
THAT ADAPTS AT LIGHTSPEED

Computer viruses are now more sophisticated and harder to detect. Today’s
e-threats - from Zeus P2P to Clop Ransomware - go straight for your wallet and
are smarter than ever at evading detection, scaling across networks, and
changing in response to thwarted attacks.





BITDEFENDER ANTIVIRUS FREE FOR WINDOWS KEEPS YOU SAFE, EVEN AGAINST TODAY’S
CONSTANTLY CHANGING E-THREATS

By learning and monitoring the unique pattern of daily activity on your PC,
Bitdefender Antivirus Free is able to instantly detect and isolate suspicious
changes in real-time, no matter the source.
So you are shielded from known and emerging threats, including:





RANSOMWARE

Financial extortion attacks that freeze PCs are on the rise, attacking everyone
from individuals to global enterprises.


CRYPTOJACKING

With cryptocurrency soaring in popularity, hijacking PC resources to mine for
coins has become an all-too-common hazard.


AI-POWERED “SPEARPHISHING”

AIs like GPT-3 are now being exploited to write shockingly personalized emails
that can dupe just about anyone.


“ZERO-DAY” EXPLOITS

Every software update comes with flaws that need fixing. Until they’re detected,
hackers use them as infection points.


ROOTKITS & TROJANS

Notoriously hard to detect, these attack your PC’s central nervous system and
use its credentials to steal & impersonate you.


MALICIOUS WEBSITES & FILES

Malware can be embedded into almost anything you click on, including “next-gen”
financial assets like NFTs.

CHOOSE THE FREE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE THAT IS BOTH POWERFUL AND LIGHTWEIGHT

Many free antivirus solutions are as intrusive and resource-heavy as the viruses
they’re supposed to stop. Only Bitdefender Antivirus Free is designed from the
ground up to keep you safe without disrupting your workflow and focus.




 * KEEPS YOU INFORMED WITHOUT BOTHERING YOU
   
   Unlike other products, Bitdefender Antivirus Free is a non-intrusive software
   that only alerts you about threats when necessary.
   
   

 * DAILY VIRUS SCANS THAT DON’T HOLD YOU HOSTAGE
   
   Worried about painfully slow scans that drag your system to a halt? Don’t be.
   Bitdefender’s customizable virus scans catch every threat without negative
   impact on performance.
   
   

 * WON’T INTERFERE WITH YOUR OTHER APPS
   
   Some antivirus tools are so intrusive they can feel like a virus.
   Bitdefender’s features stay tightly contained in one app, so they’re out of
   sight until you actually want to see them.
   
   

 * 100% FREE ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION
   
   Get an antivirus that is totally free, no hidden costs, no trials required.
   Simply download and install the product by creating a Bitdefender Central
   account.




AND IF YOU WANT ENCRYPTED PRIVACY ON TOP OF YOUR PC
