BitDefender has taken a bold step to address the total security of consumers with the launch of MalwareCity.com, a virtual city for all those interested in malware and security software. BitDefender’s goal is to help clarify and provide information on malware and all related subjects. MalwareCity.com has been called “a great resource for malware information, packaged in a digestible film-noir style.” At the site, users can read the news, check the current malware threat level, or consult the virus map. On the MalwareCity.com Blog, BitDefender Lab specialists write about their experiences, about their discoveries, and share their knowledge of malware and the threat environment. Users can look through posts about spam history and weekly virus reviews, read spam bytes – which shares BitDefender testing and spam map generation methodology – learn how to remove a specific virus, receive the latest malware alerts, or gather information about malware history, rogue software and botnets. Users are encouraged to join the fight against e-threats by joining the community and submitting posts on the blog by emailing them to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it When visiting MalwareCity.com, BitDefender encourages users to check out the present threat level and see if the virus map is indicating a high “temperature” in the user’s region.
