REVIEW: Bitdefender Gonzales

The manufacturer claims that Bitdefender Gonzales Antivirus (Beta) is a new concept, completely different from what exists on the market today.

Bitdefender Gonzales - to which ways?

Was natural to wonder to what direction Bitdefender is going with this product, especially I saw that since installing BitDefender Gonzales was atypical: that is installed very quickly, much faster than the rest of the antivirus market.

How do I manage Bitdefender Gonzales?

Finally, after trying to manage it, to understand its interface, I filled the nerves: Bitdefender Gonzales is a product with very few elements of administration. Almost like you can not do anything to change something to him or to settings or to schedule scans, but you only have a few options. So after a few tens of minutes to attempt to explore as much, I searched on the manufacturer's website the features of Bitdefender Gonzales, and since the first page I learned how the manufacturer designed this antivirus product: automatic, fast and silent.

Gonzales Bitdefender - a mobile device interface:
I see it like a mobile antivirus because the interface makes it look like an antivirus for mobile devices: smartphones and tablet category. It is even more simplistic than most manageable security solutions for mobile terminals.

Interface of Bitdefender Gonzales:

- Virus Shield: scans all running in real time, every fil thaet is comming or leaving the PC;
- Auto Scan: Unfortunately you will be unpleasantly surprised to find that scanning the entire PC is not to check only when you want it, and you can't influence / change it in any way (eg automatic scan of my PC happend around 1:00 AM);
- My Bitdefender: you'll see this status after registering on the site producer. I was amazed when I learned that you can log even using Facebook or Google accounts;

Bitdefender Gonzales - Key Features:

- Smart: no configuration needed, however you can not change anything in settings of Bitdefender Gonzales (except start or stop automatic scanning or real-time scanning);
- Optimized: periodically scans your PC without your intervention;
- Fast: avoid antivirus scan files already checkedto reduce the scan time (a few years ago, those from Kaspersky Lab has tested a product designed so, but I don't know if they seelled it anytime);
- Solid: a generalized description of manufacturer that claims it's product uses the latest technology to prevent unknown threats - do not believe it!

Bitdefender Gonzales technologies:

- AutoScan: ie antivirus takes care to regularly scan your PC (manufacturer's description seems silly, considering that all antivirus do this);
- Active Virus Control: it monitors processes in real time (but other antivirus products on the market are doing that);
- Antiphishing: identify and block sites that try to steal confidential data (nothing new);
- Cloud: a kind of synchronization (update) in real time from BitDefender servers and products of this producer.

So about BitDefender Gonzales technologies nothing is new compared to other competitors.
