Rating: - Great Product, Bogs Down PC A Little
When I bought this about 6 months ago, I was trying to find something to replace my CA Internet Security because I was unhappy with its performance.
This product is great when it comes to protecting my computer. It found viruses that my old software NEVER did. It has blocked multiple attempts on my PC, and I have had minimal problems with it.
My biggest complaint is that it seems to slow my PC down a bit. However not as bad as others I have used (i.e. Panda, Norton, MacAfee - Don't even waste your money on MacAfee - But that's a different story).
It also takes a longer time to scan the PC, but I like the deep system scan becuase it really finds things that can get into your computer.
I have recommended this product to many ppl, and being in the computer industry for many years, it seems to be one of the best I have come across
Rating: - Good product overall, but I had minor issues.
First of all, let me say that I really think this is a good product. The interface is clean, its antivirus is top notch and so is the firewall.
BitDefender detected trojans other security suites missed. Even though I'm still unsure about whether they were false positives, I'd rather err on the side of caution.
From all the security suites I have used, this is the only one that shows me the network traffic being used per process. Just think of a process manager like the one you get on CTRL+ALT+DEL but with each record showing the Kbps, I like that. Maybe the other suites have it as well but if they do, they don't make it really accessible.
With that said, I did have some minor issues with it:

Rating: - Good program
I bought this product to protect an older Windows XP PC (5 years old), and a new 64-bit Windows XP (2002 SP2) laptop. Installation was flawless on both machines. I expected to have to download a 64-bit update of BitDefender "by hand" from the author's web site, but the software on the CD that I received worked w/o any problems, and without any manual work on my part. An initial scan ran fine on both machines found a few infected files which I quarantined as directed by BitDefender. I did not need to invest my time to figure-out how to deal with the errant files. BitDefender did a nice job.
The only downside I've noticed is that the overall performance of both machines is slower due to BitDefender's monitoring of reading and writing files on the disk. I like having an easy way to turn this monitoring on and off, but I'd rather get the benefit w/o any slowdown (but this may be just an unreasonable wish).
Rating: - BitDefender needs to work on installers and get Win certified
I downloaded and installed (well sort of) the trial version. When the system rebooted, the firewall, av, and most other services were disabled. When I attempted to reenable them, nothing happened. Tried to reinstall - same issue. They really need to work on testing their solution on more platforms. I am running a Dell XPS Gen2 2GB RAM, Centrino (single core) 2Ghz with WinXP Pro sp3. I too received a few notices about the product not passing Windows Logo certification. This is really unacceptable for a product to be offered with this many issues. I did not attempt tech support, when I have this many problems on what should be a SIMPLE install, it means they did very little QA/UAT on their product pre-release and their help desk will be SWAMPED. Insult to injury, they leave quite a few registry entries behind on uninstall as well as their nag folder in program files (then again what should you expect). Glad ... Read More
