I personally think it's one of the best anti virus programs out there. I was stuck with Norton for close to 2 years cause it was free from my internet provider. However too heavy on my laptop. I saw good price on bit defender and decided to go back to it. It does a much better job . Is lightweight. Therefore PC is running much faster. Highly recommend this antiviral software . Plan to stick with it for a while myself ."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Bitdefender is becoming over-programmed. However, it's still top notch.\n\nONE THING:\nLast year, the offer on Amazon was better than the price BitDefender offered their paid customers. This year, the BitDefender rate was CHEAPER than the prices on Amazon. I didn't notice that until I had already installed tha Amazon deal. So check out both prices before you go with the Amazon deal."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This review is for Bitdefender Total Security - download\n\nI purchased this a while back because I needed some new antivirus software for my PC. I researched a lot and bitdefender came up as the best and most affordable one around. I purchased five devices so after I made my Bitdefender account I installed it on my PC, phone, and other devices in the house.\n\nSince then i have fallen in love with Bitdefender! I really appreciate the many protection features like ransomware protection. For me it runs light and doesn't bog down my system. I would recommend this product to anyone."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Pros:\nDO NOT NEED TO ENTER CREDIT CARD (looking at you Norton).\nYou control the software not the software controlling you.\nYou can easily transfer a link via email (or other way) to install on another device without needing login/pw info typed in on another PC - I like this A LOT, please don't change this.\nNice quick tour that takes but a minute or two and gives you the basics on the layout and software functionality.\nPrice was great - I couldn't argue with it.\nSeems to be pretty solid and not 'pesty', the last being very important both for work AND gaming full-screen.\nSet it and forget it. This is a must.\nCons:\nNone yet, let's see how it goes. Will update if it makes me want to scream.\nMisc:\nOnly used a small portion of the processor when scanning but this could be a BIG pro for most folks, and is likely intentional in design so that it does NOT bog down the computer (which it does not).\n\nIf this is how it is almost a year from now when the license comes up, then I'll select this before looking at competing options depending on price."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm in IT. This is the best AV, Anti-Malware, Firewall bundled software there is. But you have to be able to put up with occasion small notifications (bottom right-hand corner) you get. Let's you give granular control of website & software exceptions. Webcam & mic access control (global or website/software specific). Parental controls via centralized web interface. Don't use their VPN service ... doesn't give you enough usage/month. I recommend ExpressVPN ... unlimited usage, up to 5 devices/license, and they don't log any traffic."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm fairly tech savvy, I just finished building my own pc the day before trying to download this so, keep that in mind. This took me more than an hour to figure out how to download. I went to my amazon purchase and found no download information there, so I went to the bitdefender site and it timed out, several times. My VPN told me the error was on bitdefender's side. I was finally able to actually access the site and I tried to download the free trial as that was the only download information I saw. The site simply perma-buffered, I tried this several times before giving up. Then I googled 'bitdefender total security download' and the first result I clicked on was a netgear account tie-in which obviously does not help me. I finally managed to find their support center, which is just a bunch of typo-riddled FAQs that were written 8 years ago by the way. Some sentences were so typo-ridden you literally couldn't tell what they were trying to say. This once again, took forever to load! I have highspeed internet and no other site was taking longer than a half second to process this was the only once that was buffering for more than 40 seconds at a time and it's just a FAQ! I again ran into the issue of a lot of links simply perma-buffering, we're talking I take a 40 min nap, come back, and the page is still loading, but I managed to fight through it this time. I found my download link.\n\nMy friend works on firewalls and specifically recommended this to me and judging by the other reviews, the actual product is great, the support and ease of use is terrible though. So, perhaps the actual product is great, but the first thing a customer is going to try to do with your product is download it, and if that process is insultingly bad, webpages not working, FAQs being unparseable due to typos, etc. it doesn't bode well for the actual product. If it took me an hour+ to order a burger at McDonalds, I wouldn't eat at McDonalds anymore, even if the burgers were great. It's just that simple."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I been using this for 2 years and it has stopped over 21,000 incomming threats i have a business at home and this has protected me And my family and i havent had one issue with any device apple\nOr android and its absolute incredible it gives android phone security like apple meaning locking and wiping your phone from a distance remotely to even tracking which it which is amazing and u can ping your phone if it was stolen and the user who stole\nIt would have no idea your tracking it which is amazing on top of that or can be used for a parent tracking a child or a woman tracking a jelous husband overall out standing product.\n\nThe software overall is better then norton and other top leading virus protection services and yes it is based in russia but its paritally american owned and only operate in russia for user rights which are challenged in the united states\n\nThe software dose give android and pc users more features but manily in the security area because that what they truly lack and because there also not apple which is monitored 24/7\n\nOverall the geolocation tracking for any device u install it is worth it in my opinion!!!\nit even takes photo and record audio with out the user knowing soo u can catch the person who stole it and absolute take them\nDown which is amazing so they cant say im holding it for a friend or i found it\n\nAnother great feature with this software they have hands down the best encryptions software i installed it on my girl friend mac pro and she had a issue and had to send it to apple support they called us asking us for the password to unlock the device because they had absolute no access to the device it self and couldnt even force it open which was impressive in my opinion so u know for a fact if u loose your device or exspensive computer u can turn it into a paper weight there absolute no way in hell anyone can download anything from those devices if its locked with this software\n\nAnother thing i love about this software is that when its running on the background it dosnt change my computer performance what so ever and not even on my iphone or android it dosnt DRAIN BATTERY not like other security apps i used\n\nHands down best software for 2022\nAnd recommend by most ethical hackers and security engineers this the only way to stay protected online'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have used WR Internet Security for the last eight years. Using their renewal online is very expensive. I always go thru Amazon. This year I bought the program thru Amazon and deleted my old program. In trying to install the download, the program asked why I needed to delete the old version. I checked that I had found it at a better price. This took me to another screen begging for one more chance. No way out of this screen. I backed out and tried to download the new version. It stopped and locked down telling me there was a program causing problems. Now I had done a scan before deleting the old version. That was it. The download would not function. Since I had already deleted the older version, and the new version wouldn't install, I was in somewhat of a pickle. I went back on Amazon and discovered this program. It rated good, and was $10 cheaper than WR. I bought it. In downloading the program, it also hit a block as showing a program giving it problem in downloading. BUT it gave me the program with the option to delete it. I did this. It was a very old program from N, that I wasn't even aware to it being there. After deleting it, it downloaded without a flinch. In doing the initial scan, it found several Trojans missed by the last scan by WR. M;y laptop has been running better than ever since installing Bitdefender. I would highly recommend this program."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I've been a Bitdefender customer for many years and appreciate how the product features keep improving over time. Their virus engine gets really good reviews by the comparison sites, and we've never had a problem using it. Every once in a while it will detect something nefarious in a download or web cookie and let us know it's been isolated or quarantined, but mostly it just works behind the scenes with little fanfare. It's set up to perform a full virus scan once every week in the middle of the night, so doesn't intrude there either.\n\nI bought the latest update on sale at Amazon for $15.99 for 1 year on 5 devices and thought that was a great deal. Adding the product code to my existing Bitdefender subscription was super simple. Total Security works very well, doesn't slow down my computers, stays in the background with minimal nagging, has a rich feature set, is easy to install and use, and (I think) is one of the best values in the security space. Buying Bitdefender was an easy decision, highly recommended!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have had nothing but problems with the software since I installed it two days ago.
