[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Just like nearly everyone else I jumped ship from Norton because of their completely insane tactic for getting everyone\'s credit card info after a sale. That\'s completely unacceptable for a "security" company to force people to upload their credit card info somewhere it\'s not needed. If people wanted the auto-renew feature they\'d sign up for it on their own.\n\nAs for BitDefender, it seems to be doing it\'s job but then again, how would we know it\'s not working against a threat until something defeats it??? ALL internet security is a leap of faith. Norton lost my trust. Their idiotic move reminds me of when TurboTax decided to drop Schedule D from their Deluxe version and "force" people to upgrade. We didn\'t, we jumped to TaxCut.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "The last time I renewed my Bitdefender Total Security, I just browsed around a few different software/keys sites, but this was the best deal I fond. Per total devices and per years, this was the best price. Delivery was pretty fast and the card arrived with a small scratch-off surface with the actual activation key on it. Really didn't take long at all to activate. Logged in to my Bitdefender account then added it through the Subscription tab. Although I usually prefer digital downloads this was still a very good deal and easy to take care of."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I was skeptical. Too good a price to be true. But it works great. It added 2 years to my current subscription as promised. Love bit defender. Haven’t had a computer crash in almost 5 years....much better than norton. Extremely user friendly.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "EVERY webpage I go to -- and I mean every last page, including Bitdefender's page -- causes a cascade of notifications to pop up on my computer, making it virtually impossible to use the internet. The notifications are not only annoying, but they also take the focus off of the input field you are working on and make it difficult to type in search strings.\n\nI left Webroot because they started annoying me to renew my subscription MONTHS before it was due to expire. But even that was not as annoying as the constant notification popups with Bitdefender. Do yourself a favor and DON'T install this program on your machine."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The is my first time using BitDefender as a long time user of Norton 360 (slows operation) and McAffee Total Protection (should be named Total Useless). I bought this after McAffee expired and Norton 360 Premium 2020 would not install on MacBook Pro running Catalina OS. I intend to use this on a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 11, and a Lenovo YOGA Windows PC (2019). So far, I have installed it on MacBook Pro, iPhone 11, and Lenovo PC. My initial review is that it is very easy to install on all these devices and has a great GUI. However, it is best suited for use on a Windows PC. Many features that appear on my Lenovo PC (Windows 10 Pro) do not appear available on the MacBook Pro. Since I am predominately an Apple product person, I am somewhat disappointed with this. I will continue to try it, but would NOT recommend it at this time for anyone who only uses Apple (IOS) products.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Highly recommended by friends in the security industry.... So, I took the plunge and figured I should get the 2yr plan version.\n\nUnlike norton, installation was a BREEZE, got my code, downloaded, made account, DONE!!!\n\nNorton on the other hand... I give amazon/retailer my hard earned shekels, I get my code, download...oh, you need to create an account, sure why not...oh wait, WHAT? you need my Credit Card? WTF for? I already paid for your plan... but no, You MUST sign up for a renewal BS.... Sorry Norton, Shady practices like this is why people like me looks elsewhere... and don't get me started with the popups trying to upsell me more features, etc... NO NORTON, NO.... LEARN from bitdefender!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Great product that’s easy to use. I’ve been using this antivirus for years and love it. I’ve used all the big brands and like this the best. It’s easy to use and the people complaining about it blocking certain sites or programs doesn’t know how to use the option of letting the program play etc. and shouldn’t be allowed to write a review if they can’t properly work the program they are complaining about. It’s actually quite simple to use and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for one of the best antivirus programs out there!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I've been using internet security software since the mid 1990's, having tried the majority of them, and I feel that Bitdefender is the best of the best. Bitdefender has been around for about 20 years and has been the innovator in security software, creating one new technology milestone after another and continually raising the bar in the industry. Bitdefender works in the background without bugging me or hampering my system performance. I feel that it offers the most extra features for my money, features that include a VPN, a file shredder to permanently delete files, a password manager, multiple optimization tools, and even its own internet browser to help secure sensitive online transactions, among other features. Bitdefender also offers optional services that include identity theft protection and remote assistance. It's no wonder Bitdefender has consistently ranked at the top of other security suites tested by independent labs and has won numerous awards in multiple categories."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "As Comcast discontinued Norton, needed to find an Antivirus for our various devices, and don't like the fact that many software companies wanted a credit card so they can jump the price of their product in subsequent years. I like that Bitdefender did not take that approach. It's also great that a 2 year option was available so I don't have to purchase a new license right away next year. It was easy to install, and no issues on any of the devices we installed on. Will definitely be repurchasing in 2 years if they stay with this model of selling software."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "We have been using Bitdefender Total Security for a long time on our Windows PCs and laptops, and our Android phones. It has done an excellent job protecting all of my family's devices.\n\nThe reason I only gave Tech Support 4 stars is I had a Support Ticket for a Wi-Fi scanning issue in the Android version that had been open for approximately a year.\n\nOver that time there were a number of fixes they had me try. There was excellent back and forth communication. They even extended my subscription for 6 months. I dealt with some great people overall.\n\nI got another email telling me to update Bitdefender on my phone along with instructions for testing the fix. The testing took me 3 days to do. The issue had not been fixed so on the 4th day I was taking screenshots and documenting my testing.\n\nThat day I got an email that since I hadn't responded by 3 days they were going to close the ticket.\n\nI sent my documentation and screenshots to the Technician I got the instructions from and also to the Support person, noting the circumstances.\n\nI finally bought an inexpensive Wi-Fi scanner App and told Bitdefender Support to close the case.\n\nWe will continue to use Bitdefender on our devices because it is an excellent product and most of the people I've worked with there have been very helpful."}]
