Connection Settings
Several BitDefender components (the Firewall, LiveUpdate, Real-Time Virus Reporting
and Real-Time Spam Reporting modules) require access to the Internet. BitDefender
comes with a proxy manager that allows configuring from one location the proxy
settings used by the BitDefender components to access the Internet.
If your company uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet, you must specify
the proxy settings in order for BitDefender to update itself. Otherwise, it will use
