Inside the Antispam Lab, NeuNet is pre-trained on a series of spam messages so that it learns to recognize new spam by per- ceiving its similarities with the messages it has already examined. Certified Antivirus Engines BitDefender’s award winning scan engines featuring the B-HAVE technology have been recognized to provide the most proactive antivirus protection available by ICSA Labs, Virus Bul- letin and Checkmark.
