UPDATE: Our readers pointed out that after scan, it asks you to purchase BitDefender Total Security suite to fix the issues which is not an acceptable thing for a free security scanner.
BitDefender Security Scan is a free tool which provides information on the speed, stability and security issues which may affect a Windows machine.
It does not conflict with other security solutions currently installed on your PC, and should be viewed as complementary and an extra layer of assurance.
It also does not slow down your system and may actually make it faster, depending on what issues are identified and fixed. The initial antivirus scan is usually completed in under 2 minutes.
Once the thorough scan is complete, BitDefender Security Scan will show you a detailed report on the status of the security threats and registry errors on your PC. BitDefender will recommend the best solution to secure your PC and / or restore your PC's speed and stability.
Features List:
- AV QuickScan - scans your PC for running viruses, spyware and other online threats – usually in less than a minute!
- Registry Tuning - scans your PC for invalid registry entries that can cause slow downs, freezes or crashes.
- Update watcher - checks for Windows updates which have not been applied yet.
- Security status - checks for the existence and status of security software on your system.
- Scheduled Scanning - sets up recurring scans to ensure your system is safe. QuickScan will automatically scan your PC on startup.
- Antivirus Spot Check - on demand, instantly scans a suspicious file (such as something you've just downloaded) for viruses.

Useless, it only scan your system to say "you don't have bitdefender installed, buy our product pleeease!!!"
So useless as McAfee Security Scan...

Very bad tool ...
Gives the wrong information:
He pointed out that my Comodo firewall turned off (so it works very well, thank you for it)
Registry keys missing dll or missing while they are there, after verification.
And reference to the solution of Bitdefender pay to correct these alleged errors.

Finally, it makes me think of a rogue!

I agree. It said that my MS Security Essentials wasn't working properly when it was fine and it said that my Windows Journal and Snipping tool were missing, which they weren't. Terrible.

Thank you for the update and for those who have been cheated, I think it's the right word.
BitDefender has fallen very low, I think.
