Total Security 2009, is a software programme that protects against viruses, spyware, hackers, spam and other e-threats, but without that annoying impact on the system’s performance, claims manufacturer BitDefender.

The software uses proactive B-HAVE technology that identifies and blocks new and zero-day threats. Additionally, Total Security 2009's maintenance and backup tools keep PCs running at optimal speed and protected from data loss.

Other features include:

1 Automatically enters power-saving Laptop Mode when a laptop is running on battery power, postponing scheduled scans, backups and tune-ups in order to save battery life.
2 No one can eavesdrop on instant messaging traffic between two PCs, offering protection to Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger users.
3 File Vault provides a secured storage space for personal information or sensitive files kept locally in a user's computer. Data is encrypted - making it invulnerable to theft or security breaches.
4 Proactive protection technologies for secure everyday online activities such as banking, shopping, browsing or socialising. Web, email and Instant Messaging traffic are now scanned in real-time for viruses, spyware, phishing and identity theft attempts.
5 Provides home users with the ability to manage the security of every PC in a home network from a single location.
6 An iimproved Gamer Mode, increased performance with lower consumption of system resources, enhanced usability, and firewall (IDS and IPv6 support) support.
