6. Overview
Once you have installed BitDefender Total Security 2011, your computer is protected
against all kinds of malware (such as viruses, spyware and trojans) and Internet
threats (such as hackers, phishing and spam).
You are not required to configure other BitDefender settings besides those configured
during installation. However, you may want to take advantage of the BitDefender
settings to fine-tune and improve your protection.
From time to time, you should open BitDefender and fix the existing issues. You
may have to configure specific BitDefender components or take preventive actions
to protect your computer and your data. If you want to, you can configure
BitDefender not to alert you about specific issues.
If you have not registered the product (including creating a BitDefender account),
remember to do so until the trial period ends. You must create an account within
15 days after installing BitDefender (if you register it with a license key, the deadline
is extended to 30 days). Otherwise, BitDefender will no longer update. For more
information on the registration process, please refer to “Registration and My Account”
(p. 51).
