Say goodbye to the Antivirus.
Bitdefender BOX is a smart security solution that offers extended online protection to
all devices connected to the home network, whether they are inside or outside the
network.
Bitdefender BOX needs to stay connected to the Internet to offer protection and control
over registered devices.
Installation is a simple two-stage process: connecting the BOX to your router or directly
to the Internet, and setting up the application. It takes about five minutes and requires
minimum configuration on your internet-enabled devices. For the complete process,
refer to the section "Set up BOX" (p. 5).
The Bitdefender BOX app enables the configuration of the BOX network, device
administration, and reports regarding the network activity. Also, notifications alert when
security issues are identified. For detailed information on the features, refer to the
section "Bitdefender BOX app dashboard" (p. 12).
To configure the BOX network, you have to go through a set of basic and intuitive steps
that will become available once you start exploring the Bitdefender BOX app. You will
soon discover that you can manage notifications and organize devices within the BOX
network into two categories: Family and Guest. For more information on what features
can be managed for each device connected to the BOX network, refer to the section
"Protected devices" (p. 13).
Any device that runs a supported Operating System and is included in the Family devices
list benefits from more features offered by the BOX network. For the full list of features
for each platform, refer to the section "Managing BOX features" (p. 20).
Occasionally, you will receive notifications about updating your Bitdefender BOX
firmware or software. Apply them timely to stay updated with the latest fixes and
