20. Safepay secure online transactions
The computer is fast becoming THE tool for shopping and banking. Paying bills,
transferring money, buying pretty much anything you can imagine has never been
quicker or easier.
This involves sending personal information, account and credit card data, passwords
and other types of private information over the Internet, in other words exactly the
type of information flow that cyber-criminals are very interested to tap into. Hackers
are relentless in their efforts to steal this information, so you can never be too
careful about securing online transactions.
Bitdefender Safepay offers a unified solution for the various ways in which your
private data can be compromised. It is a protected browser, a sealed environment
that is designed to keep your online banking, e-shopping and any other type of
online transaction private and secure. You can launch Bitdefender Safepay whenever
you want to send sensitive information over the Internet, or set it up that it launches
automatically when you visit certain websites.

● It blocks access to your desktop and any attempt to take snapshots of your screen.
