5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!, January 6, 2007

This review is from: Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 10.0 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I had Norton on 3 machines for many years. I bought Bitdefender and Kaspersky because my Norton subscription was running out & I wasn't going to buy the new versions. So I put Bitdefender on 2 machines and Kaspersky on the other.

Bitdefender was easy to install. No problems at all. With Kaspersky, I needed to download and run Symantec's Norton removal tools.

Bitdefender caught 3 virues (trojans) on one of my machines. Each of which had been there for over a year. I was shocked Norton had missed them!

Scanning was very easy. The user interface is well designed and easy to use. Updates take place without notice. It barely uses resources (my computers seem to run much faster than with Norton)and it hardly takes up any hard drive space (22 Mb).

Tech support is outstanding. I was able to chat with a live support person within 30 seconds. I did this as a test because Kaspersky was giving me blue screen problems and their support had no chat, no telephone and took 3 days to reply to an email.

Bitdefender is rated by ZDnet, PCWorld, PCMag and many other web sources as the best virus protection. For the price of the competitors, you can get 2 years on 2 computers with Bitdefender.

This is the one to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!, December 29, 2006

My laptop came with McAfee, but after dealing with it for half an hour, I knew I would have to switch over to something else. I did my research and came across Bit Defender, which was rated very highly. I decided to give it a chance, and I'm so glad I did! This software does what it should- keeps my computer healthy without slowing it down or making annoying pop-ups come up every five seconds. Definitely recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Numerous problems with BitDefender, March 13, 2007

This review is from: Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 10.0 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I installed BitDefender on two of my computers. Or I tried to. It does not support Vista 64-bit yet so I couldn't use it on one of my computers.
On Windows XP, I had several problems. It interfered with several of my games causing them to shutdown. Their support did try to help me but never found the cause. I also had several instances where other programs would stop working properly. For example, Outlook stopped sending and receiving mail. After significant troubleshooting, I removed BitDefender and Outlook started working again.
I do have some positives to say about BitDefender. It was easy to use (I am knowledgeable about computers). Also, when I requested my money back, they returned it immediately with no questions asked. That is very impressive compared to many companies.
