Central Administration

In this section you can configure the overall security level and perform important BitDefender tasks. You can also register the product and see the expiration date.

Quick Tasks

BitDefender allows quick access to essential security tasks. Using these tasks you can keep your BitDefender up-to-date, scan your system or block traffic.

To scan the entire system just click Scan Now. The scan window will appear and a full system scan will be initiated.

Important
We strongly recommend that you run a full system scan at least once a week. For more details about scan tasks and the scanning process check the On-demand Scanning section of this user guide.

Before scanning your system, we recommend that you update BitDefender so it can detect the latest threats. To update BitDefender just click Update Now. Wait a few seconds for the update process to complete or, better, check the Update section to see the update status.

Note
For more details about the update process check the Automatic Update section of this user guide.
