18. Privacy Control
Your private information is a constant target for cyber criminals. As the threats have
spread to nearly the entire spectrum of online activities, improperly protected e-mail,
instant messaging and web browsing can lead to information leaks that compromise
your privacy.
Additionally, important files you store on your computer can one day find themselves
in the wrong hands.
Bitdefender Privacy Control addresses all these threats with a multitude of
components.
● Antiphishing Protection - offers a comprehensive set of features that protect your
entire web browsing experience, including preventing you from disclosing personal
information to fraudulent websites disguised as legitimate ones.
● Chat Encryption - encrypts your IM conversations to ensure their contents remain
between you and your chat partner.
● Data Protection - helps you make sure that your personal information is not sent
from your computer without your consent. It scans the e-mail and instant messages
sent from your computer, as well as any data sent via web pages, and blocks any
piece of information protected by the Data Protection rules you have created.
● File Shredder - permanently erases files and their traces from your computer.
