BitDefender for HTTP proxy for Linux released for beta testing

BitDefender announced that BitDefender for HTTP Proxy for Linux is available for beta testing.

It offers advanced features, including:

• Real-Time Scanning of Internet Traffic: proactively identifies and blocks malicious HTTP-based malware threats
• Enhanced Performance: BitDefender for HTTP Proxy beta uses BitDefender’s certified antivirus engines, which use less resources, provides better detection rates and increases performance

• Multiple HTTP filters: it provides users with many HTTP filtering options, including a content type and method filter, URL filter, traffic control size filter and a header filter
• Command Line Interpreter: it uses an easy to use command line interpreter, with auto-complete function for all parameter levels
• Other Improvements include: a Radmin integration Web interface, group security policies, user notification and enhanced reporting.
