BitDefender Antivirus 2008 Reviews

Low usage of computer - very short scan time compared with the AVG free that I uninstalled, which took 3 hrs+ I had thought that it removed all cookies, but was told only those which were a threat, therefore there is a need for other products such as Ccleaner to clear all temporary files and cookies from your system. Otherwise easy to use and works quietly in the background. After working fine for a week, with automatic updates scheduled I was unable to update at all. The downloads only went up to 25% of download and then stopped. Irritating warning messages for me to update and could not. Support team were unable to sort this out for me and after 10 days without any updates I uninstalled BitDefender. It is important to clear the registry and to download BitDefenders Uninstaller to completly clear out the old programme. Even though I had only had my subscription for 2 weeks I was informed there was a newer version, which I downloaded and installed. Updates were then received, but owing to the lack of support and non reply to emails I have asked for a refund. The other irritating feature is in Outlook Express where spam is monitored, this delays the receipt of even safe mail and displays yet another toolbar. There doesn't seem to be a way of switching this feature off.. Very disappointed with the outcome as all the reviews of this product was excellent. But with the non-existent FREE support I found it hard to continue with BitDefender. Many people were having the same problems - see BD Forums. Pity that Customer Care has let this otherwise easy to use, hopefully efficient internet security AV down.

Good at blocking most viruses etc.
Has a game mode which doesn't interfere when LANing.
Doesn't impact the system much at all.
Updates quietly.
Good alround package which I can highly recommend.

Extra-ordinary protection for viruses,trojans and other infections, multi featured including PARENTAL CONTROL IDENTITY CONTROL and REGISTRY CLEANER.
As whole I will say if you are using DSL or BROADBAND connections you have none better options to install other then BIT DEFENDER TOTAL SECURITY 2009.
For dial-up use NOD32 or AVG 8, well recommend BitDefender Antivirus 2008.

Protects against 99.9 % of viruses out there whether they are new or old .. you know your one step ahead with hourly updates. It installs perfectly fine, very low on system resources once its in the memory it loads very fast. Fast scanning the 2009 version is even better, fastest in the industry after the first scan.

User friendly.
One the best Antivirus suites on the market closest competitor? Kaspersky perhaps, but it does not require a scientist to use or understand.

I have loaded the TRIAL version for 30 days. I used it for some time and decided to remove it, I could not do it because I did not have previleges to do it even tough I am ADMINISTRATOR of the machine. I had to reformat as I couldnt find out how to get rid of it...

BEWARE its a good kit of software but youre kind of stuck with them once you decide to load their software. Therefore I do not recommend BitDefender Antivirus 2008.

Detects all viruses. Its not deleting the viruses, but just blocking them. Would still argue one of the best however.

Having tried Norton, McAfee,etc.. and being disappointed with these products, I decided to try Bit Defender. Quickly found its really different. Its a bit slow to start, but once its started its a diesel car. Its light on resources and detects viruses without problem. The only problem is for those who cannot perform an automatic update. Manual updates files are released on a weekly basis, on Mondays, leaving you one whole week with an old virus definition. Apart from this, its an excellent produ ...
