malware gets more and more clever and it always ta*es a while )efore the virusdata)ase is updated& the time it ta*es depends on the developer! An example+ +

on November second most products will detect it

In the meantime you should have hoped that the proactive detection of your

scanner would have )een good enough5 Fortunately you can rely on 34F in this

matter!

In the ; Bn 4emand# test ')ased on virus data)ase( Augustus 2008 3it4efenderAntiJirus got an advanced score and that is not the highest classi,cation! Bn that

moment middle class thus& )ut still )etter than F=Secure& cAfee and "orman!

$he score is not the only thing that is important as you can read in this )logitem!

3it4efender products in any case o:er extensive and a:orda)le protection with

once again 3it4efender Internet = and $otal Security 200% o:er )est price=Huality
