I don't think that is too much to ask.These are mostly downloads from brand names such as Avast, Avira, AVG, and Bitdefender. I just want to talk with someone that knows the product. It seems like the home user gets the short end of the stick. These guys have been around since before 2001 and have had success in commercial enterprises. I have not tried toll free support as of yet.

#Bitdefender virus scanner for chrome software#

I am just concerned when I cannot get an answer from a tech or an engineer that knows the software inside and out. I am generally very impressed with BD and there are 'issues' with all software be it security or what have you. I understand without knowing all the details it is hard to say.

#Bitdefender virus scanner for chrome manual#

But I would assume that since sirstrider found viruses in his outlook pst running a manual scan, and generally anyone using Oulook does not use SSL/TLS, that the virus made it past the email port checking of BD. I have not received an answer from an engineer as of yet so I have nothing definitive. Is BD scanning emails received over secured connection too (SSL/TLS)?įrom what I gather it does not scan emails through a secured connection. I have not yet found out what BD is supposed to do with infected incoming email under Outlook - can someone point me to that answer? I know it says BD will mark SPAM with 'SPAM' in the subject - it does not.Īnd as to SPAM - a whole different topic as someone mentioned - I have found that antiSPAM works about 10% of the time, has many bugs, and is missing several basic features - for a different post. The point is, a manual scan does find emails with viruses, but they have obviously entered without being detected.

Windows 7 search on very large systems, well, # (can I even say that here? guess not, well, think of black holes and what they do), and interferes with Outlook and Explorer when manipulating emails or files, respectively. Each can be difficult to do because of the limitations of Windows 7, the Search Indexer, and Outlook - with very large systems and large PST files (multi-gigabyte each) - well, that's another story. It then tells me it could do nothing with them, so I have to then manually delete the offending emails - twice - once to move it to the 'Deleted' folder, and once to permanently delete it. However, an Antivirus 'System' scan initiated manually does find viruses in my PST files - and I have 4 very large PST files. Perhaps I could increase the severity of the settings, but right now running in 'Autopilot'. I have NEVER had an email caught coming in that had a virus (that I know of), so I doubt the port scanning. I am running Total Security 2013, Windows 7 Pro, Outlook 2013. The exception to the rule for email scanning via port traffic is of course webmail accounts but anything from those should be picked up by realtime antivirus scanning. Email programs are referred to as clients in the industry so sorry for any confusion that may have caused. Outlook, Thunderbird etc.) not which version of security package. The live chat agent obviously misunderstood you unfortunately.īy client I mean email program (i.e. The only additional benefit with Internet Security would be the spam filtering.

#Bitdefender virus scanner for chrome plus#

Many antivirus products scan emails.Īntivirus plus can scan emails for viruses/malware. I am using Outlook for my email so it should not be a problem to scan emails. I know its not BD's fault that top 10 reviews has incorrect information but it has caused me a little grief. I tried to get hold of top 10 reviews to tell them that they are misrepresenting BD but we will see if they take scanning emails off of their list that says BD Antivirus Plus can scan emails or not. I tried to explain to them that Antispam is not the same as scanning emails for viruses but they insisted that the IS version would do what I needed it to do.Īfter installing the IS version I find that BD is still not scanning my incoming and outgoing emails for viruses but I can manage my friends and spammers list which is good but not what I was asking for.ĬAN BD scan emails for Viruses or not? If not I will have to go with another product that can.

#Bitdefender virus scanner for chrome upgrade#

So after a little negotiation BD agreed to upgrade me to the IS version. After installing it and talking with support I found that this product did not scan emails for viruses and that I needed the Antispam feature which came with the Internet Security version of the product. I naturally assumed it was email scanning for viruses since it was an antivirus product. As you can see it shows one of the features to be Email Scanning. This link shows it as the number one product out there. A few days ago I bought BD Antivirus plus after looking at the the excellent reviews it was getting on the net.
