BitDefender Adds a Privacy Control Module to BitDefender Professional

Bucharest, Romania – July 21, 2002 – Following several international organizations’ warnings against the frequent invasions of privacy, BitDefender, a leading provider of data security solutions and services, announces the addition of a Privacy Control module to its flagship antivirus product, BitDefender Professional.

Already recognized for its technology and quick reaction to virus outbreaks, BitDefender Professional combines the best of breed antivirus technologies with the new requirements of Privacy Control and Internet application monitoring.

“With all these spying cookies, transforming our life into a TV show, our freedom of choice has been dramatically degraded”, Radu Mihai, Communication Manager at BitDefender said. “It seems that computer viruses are no longer enough to make our life miserable; now we have to concentrate on keeping our personal information for ourselves and to protect our data not only from malicious, destructive codes, but also from thieves. BitDefender Professional tries to lend a hand for those who don’t like being kept under constant observation while browsing the web, while still conserving their data safety” concluded Radu.
