5.0 out of 5 stars Bitdefender is a lot better product than Norton Internet, March 7, 2008

I had previously renewed my copy of Norton Internet protection only a few months ago. I was having a number of computer systems problems with Norton virus protection and firewall suite for which I could not find any internet help. The main problem was that Norton would not update the files. For a month, the update program would just say somelthing like, "No updates available". (I knew something was wrong then.) The only way you can talk to someone either on line or by phone about a technical problem is to pay at least $25 up front. I figure that Norton should support their product and make it work right. After reviewing several comparisons of the various Internet protection suites, I dedided to try BitDefender. It was one of the few that promised phone support. I had to clean my system of Norton first, but the instellation went fine, and I have been without problems ever since. I like BitDefender better than Norton and it has more features.

The program is quite good but beware if you need any service or God forbid need to return the product for there isn't any. There are numerous methods online to obtain service according to their site but you will never get an answer to any of them. They also use digitalriver for their collection agency ad even though digitalriver has been great i the past to work with.. forget it if you ar trying to resolve a bitdefnder problem.
This is a shame for although the software seems to be good they lose it when it comes to THE most important item.. service!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bitdefneder ISS 2008 Really Impressed., September 8, 2007

This review is from: BitDefender Internet Security 2008 - 2 Years/3 Pc's (CD-ROM)

I have previously used Bitdefender 9 and 10 of their Av products and really begin having problems with version 10. Icon disappearing, system load. Since then I have purchased licenses for Kaspersky or Kav 6 KIS 7, Avira Premium and Nod32. Used these with either the free Comodo Firewall or in the case of Kav 6 Zonealarm pro. I recently purchased Bitdefender 2008 IS and was amazed. For a sustem suite there seems less load and fast if not faster boot times than using Nod32 and Commodo. Its interface reminds me of Norton 360 and the advanced settings are somewhat hidden but thats not a problem for me. It sure beats KIS 7 in price. So far have not noticed any conficts but I did have to remove Sandboxie. Really miss that.( Overall think its a good buy.

My only wish would have been an option for Custom Install to let me choose which features I would like. Oh well.. )
