Rating: - * Never got product, but got refund ... Seller shipped item to wrong person. Waited for a while to get response from seller and finally got a refund. Sometimes things like this happens... Rating: - * beware of bitdefender ... I bought Bitdefender after seeing some good reviews on the internet. While it may be that my computer is five years old or some other factor, it was working perfectly all right; I just wanted antivirus different from Norton. Then, I installed Bitdefender on Sunday and immediately it started interacting negatively with Outlook Express. Tuesday the computer crashed, moving into a system recovery mode. I lost all software that I had installed, but fortunately my data was saved. While I could be wrong, I don't think it is a coincidence that my computer crashed two days after installing Bitdefender. Rating: - * Great Protection with little system demand or intrusion ... Over the past few years, I have tried several anti-virus (AV) and internet security (IS) packages. I have tried Zone Alarm, Panda, Trend Micro and others. I believe that any are generally adequate and trusworthy, but a site search (and my own experience) will often reveal that BitDefender (BD) AV and IS products give the best balance of protection, system demands and cost. I have been very happy with both the older BD AV Plus and the more current BD Internet Security 2008, especially when one considers the relatively low annual cost of ownership. Rating: - * BitDefender is the Best ... I have used many different AntiVirus, AntiSpam and Internet Security products and BitDefender is the best I have used so far. The installation went well and the config wizards made it easy to get up-and-running quickly. It works more transparently than others (NAV and Kaspersky). Any time a program wants to access the net, a window pops saying a rule is created or asks me if I want to allow it. I do this once and it's done! If I install a USB drive, it immediately gives me the option for virus scan. their are multiple levels of scan and all can be scheduled. Any problems that cannot be resolved can be easily identified through the logfiles and can be manually deleted. And for this price for 2 years coverage for three PCs, you just can't beat it!! Rating: - * Product Failed, Technical Support Lousy ... A few weeks after install, I got a warning message saying BitD was no longer responding - contact Tech Support. I did, got an automated reply telling me to run some diagnostics. I did. Now we're in week 3, and no response yet after I pinged them two more times. Tried the phone # on the website, but after several automated menus they tell you to go to the website. Don't buy it.
