Bitdefender, an internationally renowned company that develops a wide range of security products and services, came up with a security solution that is custom tailored for Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system: Bitdefender Windows 8 Security. This is a seriously strong security solution for computers powered by Microsoft’s Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.

The minimal system requirements for running Bitdefender Windows 8 Security are: 800MHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 1.8GB of free disk space (at least 800MN on the system drive), Windows 8, or 8.1 operating system.
The recommended system requirements for running Bitdefender Windows 8 Security are: 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo processor or better, 1.5GB of RAM or more, 2.8GB of free disk space (at least 800MB on the system drive). Bitdefender Windows 8 Security needs .NET Framework 3.5. If this software is not installed on your PC, Bitdefender will automatically install it.

A setup wizard will guide you through the process of installing Bitdefender Windows 8 Security on a PC that meets the system requirements presented above. During the installation, Bitdefender will scan the PC’s memory and critical system areas. Installing Bitdefender Windows 8 Security on my Windows 8.1 PC was a simple task – simple, but lengthy. It took a bit to go through the entire installation process and get this security solution up and running.

Bitdefender Windows 8 Security has a dark-themed interface that’s similar to Windows 8’s Start Screen. The following modules are presented on the application’s interface: Antivirus, Privacy, Firewall, Update, Antispam, Safego, Parental Control. The nice thing is that you can arrange these modules in the order you want.

As mentioned in this article’s title, as mentioned in this article’s body, Bitdefender Windows 8 Security is a seriously strong security solution for Windows 8. It has lots to offer: real-time protection against viruses and other malware; run on-demand scans; several types of scans are available; high scanning speed; phishing protection; built-in file shredder; built-in firewall; automatic updates; protection against spam messages; Facebook protection via Safego; parental controls; autopilot silent security or custom user protection profile; game mode; dedicated online banking; integrates with the Windows Security Center and keeps you informed of your PC's security status; analyses your Windows 8 apps and notifies you when one has been compromised; and more.

Bitdefender Windows 8 Security is free to use for a trial period of 30 days.

If you have a PC powered by Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, if you want a security solution that was tailored for the Windows 8 or 8.1 operating system, then I invite you to get Bitdefender Windows 8 Security. This is a powerful security solution, the first antivirus solution specifically designed for Windows 8.
