What Are Bitdefender Profiles?
Bitdefender Profiles is a new feature that's included in Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2015,Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 and Bitdefender Total Security 2015. It automatically manages your system's resources depending on the type of applications you are using, in order to minimize interruptions and optimize the performance of your system.
Bitdefender includes three profiles, one for each of the most frequent activities that users engage on their Windows computers and devices:
The Work profile comes in handy when you are juggling multiple activities in your daily work, such as communicating over instant message or e-mail clients with colleagues, joining a video conference or working with office applications, such as the Microsoft Office suite.
All of these activities require certain resources from your computer. However, alongside the applications that you use for work, the operating system also runs certain processes in the background, some of which you might not need. These processes can also slow down your computer, and this is where the Work profile comes in.
Bitdefender designed this profile to improve the performance of your computer when doing work, by turning off unnecessary services and tasks.
To configure the Work profile, click the corresponding Configure button.
The actions that the Work profile can take are the following:
Enable the actions that you want Bitdefender to take when detecting that you are working on your computer. Then, click Save.
IMPORTANT: Bitdefender looks for the applications that you are running in order to apply one profile or another. If it doesn't activate the Work profile automatically when you launch one of your work applications, you can add that application manually to the Application list for this profile.
To do this, click the Application list link.
Then, click the Add button.
Add the path to the application that you need to use by navigating to its location, selecting its executable file and then clicking OK.
The selected application will now trigger the Work profile.
