BitDefender <strong>Antivirus</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> <strong>2011</strong><br />

The issues that this wizard helps you fix can be grouped into these main categories:<br />

● Disabled security settings. Such issues are fixed immediately, by enabling<br />

the respective security settings.<br />

● Preventive security tasks you need to perform. An example of such a task<br />

is scanning your computer. It is recommended that you scan your computer at<br />

least once a week. BitDefender will automatically do that for you in most cases.<br />

However, if you have changed the scanning schedule or if the schedule is not<br />

completed, you will be notified about this issue.<br />

When fixing such issues, a wizard helps you successfully complete the task.<br />

● System vulnerabilities. BitDefender automatically checks your system for<br />

vulnerabilities and alerts you about them. System vulnerabilities include the<br />

following:<br />

▶ weak passwords to Windows user accounts.<br />

▶ outdated software on your computer.<br />

▶ missing Windows updates.<br />

▶ Windows Automatic Updates is disabled.<br />

When such issues are to be fixed, the vulnerability scan wizard is started. This<br />

wizard assists you in fixing the detected system vulnerabilities. For detailed<br />

information, please refer to section “Checking for Vulnerabilities” (p. 88).<br />

10.2. Configuring Status Alerts<br />

The status alert system is pre-configured to monitor and alert you about the most<br />

important issues that may affect the security of your computer and data. Besides<br />

the issues monitored by default, there are several other issues you can be informed<br />

about.<br />

You can configure the alert system to best serve your security needs by choosing<br />

which specific issues to be informed about. You can do this either in Intermediate<br />

View or in Expert View.<br />

● In Intermediate View, the alert system can be configured from separate locations.<br />

Follow these steps:<br />

1. Go to the Security tab.<br />

2. Click the Add/Edit List link in the Status area.<br />

3. Use the switch corresponding to an item to change its alert state.<br />

● In Expert View, the alert system can be configured from a central location. Follow<br />

these steps:<br />

1. Go to General > Dashboard.<br />

2. Click Add/Edit Alerts.<br />

3. Use the switch corresponding to an item to change its alert state.<br />
