Four out of seven top rated products driven by BitDefender technology
BUCHAREST, Romania – April 19, 2011 – BitDefender®, an award winning provider of innovative Internet security solutions, has received its best-ever rating in the latest detection test from respected independent organisation AV Comparatives.
The test examined leading antivirus products for both rate of detection and false positives, scoring them in four categories depending on performance – “advanced +”, “advanced”, “standard” and “tested”. Seven products, including BitDefender Antivirus Pro 2011, were awarded the top “advanced+” rating, and four of these use BitDefender technology.
Viorel Canja, Head of BitDefender Labs, observed:
“We’re delighted to receive such positive results from a testing organisation as well respected as AV-Comparatives. What is especially pleasing is the dominance of our technology in the top rated products.

Andreas Clementi of AV-Comparatives said:
“It was very good to see BitDefender perform so well in our latest tests. Naturally, we pride ourselves on maintaining very high standards, so it is a real achievement for a product to reach the top “advanced+” rating.”
