BitDefender Antivirus Reviews

What intrigues the new BitDefender Antivirus Software user is that how could they come up with such a piece of disappointing antivirus, as compared to other antivirus in the market. Though, they have added up little unknown features that make the competitors look meek, but still, many of their features are comparable to that of free antivirus.

BitDefender Antivirus Software and features

The installation procedure hasn’t changed a bit from its first installment, and requires the removal of any other kind of security software from the system. It is a bit annoying, as you know, that single software cannot guarantee complete protection. If you have to install the new BitDefender, then you will have to do away with the software and start the installation again.

The customization option is still there, which helps you to decide what you need on the system and what you don’t. It helps you to choose between different modules, which will be of no use to you and will eat up your precious disk space. The Un-installation is simple, and gives you an option to revert back to your registry settings, and turn on your firewall. This is a lucky break for those who are fed up with antivirus, which posts in a 1000 questions just to uninstall. The interface has evolved a lot in the past few years, and it seems that they have done it again. BitDefender Antivirus Software like Norton has got a new dark theme, which looks good.

It now has got a good uncluttered and sporty kind of looks, which goes easy on the eyes. The status and notification bars are clear and visible with large fonts and icons. It also has simplified its settings option; it lets you customize the antivirus very easily. Now, you don’t have to bang your head on the wall, and look everywhere for a particular option. The features are basically the old ones with some new innovative ones. There are phishing detectors, spam guards, online backup, etc, along with the main internet security and antivirus module. These added features, though, are the same in many other free anti viruses, but BitDefender assures you a complete satisfaction in case of resolving such issues.

The browser add-on, which was incorporated with the main module, has been done away with; and now, the antivirus has got a separate module, which deals with most common web browsers. The rescue mode is the real life saver in cases of severe infection; it helps you to revert back to the original settings, and remove the infection completely. Then, there is Auto-Pilot, which recognizes when to put out notifications and when not to, on its own. Other features are Safe-Go, more of a link scanner and an array of video tutorials to help its users.

Hitting the nail on its head

Though, it is a good software bundle, but the BitDefender Antivirus Software disappoints its huge fan base. This time around, they have not given them a look into the future, with Windows 8 around the corner. Priced at $40, it seems reasonable.

This product is highly rated and works especially well at detecting unknown viruses. This is a good thing. The bad thing is its pretty bloated. Even though the active virus shield is not active it still has 2 running processes taking up anywhere from 20-30MB of RAM. Not the worse thing in the world but pretty unacceptable for an on-demand only antivirus product. I’m sure only a simple hex edit keeps this from becoming the full version of Bitdefender. I like it for backup scanning but just wish they would make is less heavy on resources.

Very good program i use it with spyware blaster and and my machine runs just as good as the day i bought it. never get any virus in it.. i use to use antivir pe v6 until they switch v7 worst thing that they did crap program… we use BitDefender on all 3 of our computers so thumbs up to BitDefender.. dont go and change it like AntiVir pe did…

Very well layed out program. Relatively fast scanning,very stable,modest system resource usage and you can tell very well written. Additionally Bitdefender is rated very high in all anti-virus tests. This software would rate five stars except for the fact that Bitdefender says that there is no real time protection.

I recommend this program due to it’s easy of use and effectiveness. It can be scheduled to update on it’s own and does so with out a hitch. It’s lean with a sleek GUI that makes it easy to work with and set up.

I have purchased Bit defender Total Security 2011 and i m saying it has saved my PC.I have used a Lot of antivirus softwares, but all of them were $hit.I lost my data due to them.They couldn’t identify virus.Now i m using bit defender, and it is awesome.It doesn’t take so much resources.And now my PC is running FINE.All the people talking about that bitdefender, are saying wrong.

very very very good! Excellent! Protection, pc tune up, firewall, antiphishing and the detection is very good. The resources is low. People say if bitdefender is bad, hog of memory usage. But, that is false. First time, after i install it, my RAM is until 1 GB, but after several minute, the RAM is decrease until 600 MB. Until now, this is the premium security suite.

Bitdefender is great software, it is still in beta phase but it has everything good just like the final. I highly recommend this software

I use BitDefender from version 7 and i can say it is a very good security software. There is a uninstall tool available on their site and on the Softpedia website, just search for Bitdefender Uninstall. I tried also other Security software like Kasperky and Nod32 but none of them pleased me, i had really problems with them, these two have some problems with my other software running on my PC.
