Bitdefender does not offer a built-in feature to directly protect specific folders. However, you can achieve a similar level of security by utilizing other features within the Bitdefender suite:
1. File Vault:
- Bitdefender's File Vault encrypts specific files or folders, making them inaccessible without the correct password. This provides strong protection against unauthorized access.
2. Anti-Ransomware:
- Bitdefender's Anti-Ransomware feature monitors your system for malicious activity and can prevent ransomware from encrypting your files. This indirectly protects your folders by preventing them from being locked by ransomware.
3. Real-Time File Protection:
- Bitdefender's Real-Time File Protection scans files and folders for threats as they are accessed or modified. This provides ongoing protection against viruses, malware, and other threats that could potentially compromise your folders.
4. Data Safe:
- Bitdefender's Data Safe feature allows you to create a secure vault for storing sensitive files and folders. This vault is encrypted and password-protected, providing an extra layer of security for your important data.
5. Advanced Threat Defense:
- Bitdefender's Advanced Threat Defense uses behavioral analysis to detect and block advanced threats, including zero-day attacks. This helps protect your system and your folders from emerging threats.
While Bitdefender does not provide a dedicated folder protection feature, these alternative options offer robust protection against various threats and can effectively safeguard your sensitive data.
