Cutting-Edge Proactive Technology

BitDefender’s B-HAVE Technology represents the last minute alternative for advanced protection against malware. B-HAVE relies on a dynamic heuristic scanner especially engineered and designed to improve and enhance the current security technology, while also overcoming the architectural limitations inherent in many other dynamic solutions.

B-HAVE creates a virtual, isolated and self-contained computer, mimicking your system configuration. This environment represents the ideal location for applications’ and files’ threats investigation, because it ensures your computer is exposed to absolutely zero risk.

Recent tests proved the effectiveness of this technology, B-HAVE’s heuristics detecting 63% of threats without any signature update.
