What’s New?

Well definitely lots of bugs have been fixed and may more new features are added.
I liked the newly designed UI. Its much more user friendly and shiny 😉

There’s one more view UI mode is introduced with this BETA, the “Novice Mode”.
Beside “Intermediate” and “Advance” mode, Novice mode with just 3 buttons at main UI, are specially introduced for beginners.

My Experience with the Beta:

I’ve been using BitDefender Total Security 2010 Beta 2 for past 15 days on my XP SP2 and having no issues with it.
I wish it could show me some problems, so I can report them…but No!
Its just running absolutely fine.

– No bugs, No system Slow downs whatsoever.
– No issues with updates.
– In fact Scan time is greatly reduced and Its kinda more responsive.

But if you are Windows 7 user, you might face some issues, and in fact most of the bugs submitted at Beta Center are from Windows 7 users.

Note: If you are using BitDefender in your system right now, you need to uninstall the current version completely, restart the system, and then install the Beta version.
