4 Stars Bitdefender Internet Security 2009
I have a CPU and my wife has a laptop. I am very happy with the virus protection. It does not slow my computer and works great. My wife is not happy with it. Her laptop runs much slower and the virus check comes on more than once a day. She is thinking about removing Bitdefender and reinstalling her old virus program.

4 Stars BitDefender
Good service from supplier.

Easy to install, seems to work well. A little complicated on what to do when it finds an error.

2 Stars No support
The update for my Bitdefender Intenet Security 2009 recently malfuctioned. I tried to call the customer support line. I was told told by the automated answering machine to call 1-954-928-2780. I held for several minutes until a phone rang and rang with no answer. I have attempted to contact them on thier chat but I redirected to email which has me sign in over and over. Bitdefender’s customer support will not be there for you when you require it so be cautious whn you purchase this product and you will not get any USA support.

5 Stars Great Product and Right Price
A great piece of software and the price is right especially if you have several computers.

In order for it to work properly you should remove all other virus, malware and firewall programs

before you install.

Microsoft Defender seemed to cause a problem, so remove it.

My computer sure runs smooth with this program. You hardly know it’s there at all.

Bottom line….I like it!

1 Star Bit Defender bad choice

Great buy from Amazon

4 Stars safe and sinple
Loaded Bitdefender on three computers that I have networked in my house. I can run scans and general maintenance on the other two computers via my computer. The parental controls are great.

5 Stars Product was flawed, but the service was excellent.
I have been pleased with BitDefender Security AntiVirus product for the past 2 years on both of my computers. So when it was time to renew, I continued with BitDefender AntiVirus protection. Ordering was easy at Amazon, and I received the package before scheduled date.

The product loaded just fine, until I tried to load the “registry key” provided with the package. The key came up as not valid so I was stuck with the trial key which expires in 30 days.

I contact the company right away. They responded immediately and worked with me over several days, (via email, my choice), to no avail.

They problem was sloved by issuing a new BitDefender Security download.

It works just fine.

The 2009 security package has more features than the V10 package I had last time. Well worth the money, and it covers both my computers for 2 years as well.

Service is everything, and I am happy with BitDefender’s Customer Service to boot.

5 Stars The Best PC Security on the market…
I have used bit defender for a year or so now, and I have used all the other top brands, and I believe BitDefender is the leader in all around PC security compared to all other brands…Norton, Kaspersky, Trendmicro etc. The only area it is weak is in backup, but that pales in comaprison to the overwhelming benefits in every other area of pc security and internet security.

5 Stars virus software
This is the 1st time I have ever used this product. I bought it because of the reviews in consumer report. It is working well for me I have had it in my computer for 1 month now.

4 Stars Minor problems with AV 2009; Uneven support experiences
I used BitDefender (BD) to replace Norton Antivirus (NAV) because NAV was consuming too much resource and NAV support wasn’t very responsive. I started out with BitDefender Antivirus 2008 on 2 computers: One was running Windows 2000 and the second Vista Ultimate. I bought the 2 year license for 3 computers.

Initial installation on both computers went smoothly. I was happy to find that BD did indeed use less of both computers’ memory and CPU. It’s easy to scan a file on demand because BD added a menu item to the menu that comes up when you right click on a file. Just right click and select “Scan with BitDefender”.

After a few months use, the BD installation on the Vista computer quit working. BD support’s solution was, as is mentioned in several of the other reviews, “uninstall and re-install” so that’s what I did and it fixed the problem.

BD 2009 came out several months after I initially installed BD 2008. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could upgrade the Vista machine AT NO ADDITIONAL COST! (BD 2009 wasn’t supported on Win 2k so I couldn’t upgrade that machine.)

However, after upgrading, none of the stock trading software I use was able to access real time stock quotes. I started a chat with BD support and they quickly helped me uncheck a couple of default options to fix the problem.

After fixing the real time stock quote problem, the software ran for about 4 months without incident. Then I started using Microsoft Media Player (MMP) to listen to the BBC. Apparently, MMP uses a cookie to keep track of the stations. When the BD system scan ran, it considered these cookies to be dangerous and deleted them. This forces me to re-add the BBC so I tried to add the cookie files to the BD “Exclusion” list. But I wasn’t able to do so because nothing happened when I clicked the “Add” button on the BD Exclusion Wizard after typing in the full path to the cookie files. I reported this problem to BD support and they fixed the problem shortly thereafter. However, after about 2 weeks, a new maintenance release of BD came out and the fix disappeared. Once again, the cookie files are being deleted and I can’t update the exclusion list.

I looked on the BD web site forums and it’s easy to find lots of people with serious problems (I’ve had none) who are not getting any response from BD tech support. This leaves me with the feeling that, as long as the product continues to run, I’ll be ok but if I ever encounter a serious problem I’ll be out of luck. If that happens, I guess I’ll try another AV product.

2 Stars Too many glitches for established product
I purchased Bitdefender AV 2009 for 2yr/3 PC thinking I was doing a good thing. I’m glad my husband’s laptop still has Norton or I wouldn’t be writing this. A few of the problems are as follows: Delayed keystrokes while typing email, incorrect phishing alerts while visiting websites, extremely long deep scans (think 6-8 hours), delayed access to the internet, constant requests to reboot because product is not working, etc. If I could get my money back, I would. After all the great reviews (from my peers here at Amazon as well as CNET), I thought I was making a great choice. I’m wrong. The reason for two stars and not one? The support staff does respond, most of the time. They are responsive, just not always helpful.

3 Stars OK But Really Stupid Software
I have had Bit Defender Anti-Virus for three years. When I upgraded to version 10, the real time shield wouldn’t always load so I would be on the Internet unprotected until I realized the icon wasn’t in the system tray. Bit Defender support didn’t have a fix for that. Earlier this year, I got a really annoying malware that Bit Defender not only did not detect but couldn’t clear up. It slowed down my computer and kept making an irritating ticking noise. After two days of silence from the BD support team, I found a free anti-malware program on the Web that cleared it up in five minutes. I renewed it again for 2009 because I was too busy to evaluate other virus programs and felt I needed something. Other than the two previous mentioned problems, the software seemed to work ok. So now I downloaded the 2009 version and went to install it. Normally any upgrade will tell you that an older version was detected and it should be uninstalled or the upgrade offers to remove it. Nothing. I executed the install and without any messages it deleted three quarters of the old install but did not install the new version. But it gave me a message saying to restart to complete installation and when I booted up-no antivirus! I had to manually delete the old directory and re-initiate the installation.

I have a low threshold for poorly written software and this one is really really stupid! The BD support is lacking and good luck calling in. Next year I won’t be so lazy; I’ll do my homework and find a professional AV software.

1 Star Customer support is the pits - product won’t run
I’ve been a BitDefender customer for several years. I recently bought and installed this product and it ran fine on two of my PCs. On the other PC, antivirus scans hang up (forever) on a certain directory. Searches with Google indicate many others have this problem. BitDefender customer support insisted the problem was due to two other programs I have on the PC. I removed them per their request and still have the problem. They never responded to me after that. If you’re one who doesn’t have a problem, you’ll like the software. If you have a problem, it’s a throw-away. I’ve since installed a competitive product on the system and it has no problems with scans. There were other minor Bitdefender drawbacks that I learned to live with, but this one was a showstopper.

The only problem I have with this software is that it will not load during startup. I have to load it manually. I believe it is essential that this type of software be loaded at startup. I am attempting to resolve the issue with the manufacturer.

5 Stars Flawless…
Got this software right when it came out and it’s everything Consumer Reports said it was. My PC is running like new… in fact better than new. Norton was slowing the thing down terribly. It also found a slew of viruses that Norton did not find. The other features like the gaming mode and file vault make this software a bargain. Definitely worth the #1 ranking!

1 Star junk
don’t even consider it unless you want to crash your machine and deal with people with absolutely no customer service ethic.

4 Stars Great Deal
I purchased this product about a month ago and have been very pleased. It was easy to install and set up.It does take a long time to do a full system scan but if you set it to run in the middle of the night you’ll have no problems. I researched a lot of internet security programs before buying Bitdefender and I think it is the best for the money and Amazon beat everyone’s price.

1 Star Wouldn’t Update with dial-up
Gave it to my Daughter, because I have dial-up and tech-support told me it would not update all updates with dial-up. Had an error and did what tech-support said and still had an error. Second time I’ve tried bitdefender and no luck.

3 Stars Hmmmmmmm
I’m not real impressed with this program. I find you have to be online to access most of the graphics, and they just keep adding the same old graphics to the program each time. I want a lot of new stuff!

1 Star Worst Printmaster of All
I should have listened to the reviews. I’ve been using Printmaster since PM 8 came out. I always loved it and used it frequently. My two kids used previous versions for school for years and got incredible grades with it. Believe me, PM 18 needs the internet to download for a LOT of the art and projects, too many if you ask me. A real big inconvenience to Broderbund loyal customers. Shame on you Broderbund.

Out of 1,305,000 images, 92,000 are on the system, the rest you have to download. Out of 21,000 projects, 1,000 of them are on the system. This is unacceptable. I hate it.

1 Star Very disappointed in BorderBund They messed up a Great Product
I have used printmaster for several years and I have been very impressed with the product. Especially PM16 it works very good. But I am now using PM18 and I do not like it at all. The graphics that were in 16 are not all there and you have to access the interenet to download the graphics I am not at all happy about that. I do not understand why they took such a great product and messed it up this way. I dont know if I will ever buy another version of PM. They do not even tell you that you have to download the graphics from the interenet every time and I think that is deceptive and you can’t talk to anyone about the problems. I have removed this version and gone back to version 16. Just a waste of my money and time.

4 Stars Well worth the money
Upon receiving the Printmaster,I found the directions were quite simple.I made out a bunch of Christmas cards,in which I got great reviews.Plan on using it alot in the coming months/years.I highly recommend this program.

I have used Broderbund publishing programs for many years, upgrading them as new versions came out.

5 Stars OJT with Publisher
Microsoft Publisher ‘07 is wonderful. I am using it without too much tutorial use and am finding that it is easy to maneuver through the newsletter I am publishing. I think this product will be a very good tool to use for many purposes.

1 Star Upgrade - don’t bother
Microsoft Publisher 2007 Version Upgrade I purchased this upgrade expecting some new tools and better templates but I was disappointed. Not much new in my opionion. I like the older versions better. As Publisher gets upgraded over the years it doesn’t change enough to make the purchase of the upgraded program worth it. Save your money.

4 Stars still a great product
Publisher is still a great work horse for creative publications — new version is just a tad cumbersome — and, at the same time, somewhat easier. Go figure. In addition to the church newsletter and various graphic projects, I actually design many of my quilts with Publisher! It’s so easy to manipulate graphic images and text selections.

5 Stars MS Office Publisher 2007
I have been using Publisher for several years, and I use it more than any of my other programs. I normally print my photographs from publisher, after working on them in Photoshop. I do corparate brochures that I have printed for the customers in a comerical print shop. It works well and they also have Publisher so any last minute changes can be made before printing. I also do two newsletters and I do all the layout here and then print them as a PDF file to be E-Mailed or make paper print for mailing.

3 Stars Not very upgraded
Microsoft Publisher is one of the few programs that I have used every day since Version 1 (the other is Quicken). I have purchased every new upgrade to both programs and literally could not be without either. When Publisher 2003 came out, it was a fairly substantial improvement over its predecessor in both format and functionality. Now that I am using a brand-new computer with Windows Vista and the latest version of MS Office, I decided to get the 2007 upgrade to Publisher. I am very disappointed. Not that it’s bad … Publisher is still a very useful program … but that it is virtually identical to the 2003 version, including the same old tacky and dated 1990’s templates. Sure there are a few enhancements, but the user interface takes a step backwards and reminds me of Windows 98 and like Vista and Office, what used to take one keystroke now takes 2 or 3. It has none of the cool and useful new look or features of the other Office 2007 products. Quite honestly, I believe Microsoft should have made this a free download rather than to pawn it off as a whole new version. Since I am still a big fan of Publisher I will have to split my review into two parts: the full-version of Publisher at 149 dollars is worth 5 stars and I would recommend it to anyone who has never used Publisher. The upgrade-version at 85-100 dollars barely gets 3 stars, if you already have Publisher 2003, don’t waste your money upgrading it.

This is an excellent product for producing a newsletter. My only complaint centers around the need for a download to produce a PDF document. Adobe is a standard in publishing and the ability to create a PDF file should be built-in and automatic.

3 Stars Program is Great, Unfortunately my copy was damaged in shipping.
I am pleased with the companies notification to me that my copy was damaged in shipping. Unfortunately, they did not have a replacement for me. They were very prompt in informing me of the “BAD” news. I had downloaded a trial version from microsoft to “test drive” the program and it works great. Thanks.

5 Stars MS Publisher 1995 was excellent ; MS Publisher 2007 is SUPERB!
I’ve been using Micrsoft Publisher since 1995 & have ordered 2 new computers. Surpringly, LOL, this last computer, I just purchased, would not accept that old of a CD so the 1995 Publisher version that I had done “publishing” work on for all these years, for which I thought it was excellent software as it was, forced me into the 2007 MS Publisher version. Gosh, I wish I would have not been so nervous about upgrading earlier. This is SUPERIOR to it’s 1995 version; I didn’t think it was possible to improve on it, &, basically, in my opinion, it didn’t need much improvement. They have provided, in the 2007 version, increased layout options, increased color selections, easier access for getting to different pages within the same document & the “Help” index is straight forward & completely easy to follow. I, enthuasiastically, & completely suggest MS Publsiher 2007 for serious “desktop publishing” individuals.

3 Stars Disappointing
Did lots of research and weighed the pros and cons. Decided to give this a try as I liked the programs packaged in the suite. Installation was easy but there is no mention of what’s on the 2nd disc. Well, it’s the Office Accounting software for Small Business. Wanted that as I thought it would help with budgeting and online banking. My bank isn’t in the confining list of predefined banks in the software. So, this software is useless (to me) and a waste of money. Also, Word, Excel, Outlook, etc., all have an issue when starting up. I get a pop up window saying “installation in progress” for about 2 minutes. Then another pop up that says “small business setup in progress” and that runs for about 2 minutes. It can take up to 5 minutes for one of the office products to open up. I’m running Vista 32bit with Core 2 Quad Q6600 processors, 2.5gig of memory and about a terabyte of storage (HP m9150f). I’ve had a case open with Microsoft for about 2 weeks now. I’ve done everything they’ve wanted, but so far no luck in eliminating these pop ups. Then once the product is up, I get these same pop ups when I try to do something. I do a send/receive in Outlook and the pop ups occur. And those occur for another minute or two. Ridiculous! The new “rib

1 Star Not for a former expert…dumbed down and scrambled up
I’m an expert user of version 2003. Our work computers are now v2007. So far, there are at least 4 things that I used to use/do on a daily basis that are not available in 2007 (e.g., no drawing or tables tool bars) making my job infinitely more difficult and slower. I learn quickly, but this program is not intuitive when changing from 2003. For example, why would “page break” be on one ribbon and all the rest (e.g., the variety of section breaks) somewhere else. The whole list of choices is there somewhere (I found it once), but finding it takes way too much time. When I am in a time crunch (typically) I take my work home to use my 2003. Why isn’t there at least an option for the old style menu so those of us who used to be experts could get up to speed more easily. I’ve been using 2007 for about 6 weeks now and have been acutely wary of the change over phenomenon that creates resistence to using something new. I’ve really tried. I’ve used several kinds of external programs designed to help find things (including the 2007 help menu). This helps occassionally, but I often get the answer that this function is no longer available in the 2007 version. I’m thinking I need to bring my own computer to work to get something done. Avoid 2007 if you can.

4 Stars Ya gott luv it….ya really…snort, do.
Took me several calendar days and a couple of phone calls to India to get this puppy installed. Seems my MS Vista Ultimate 45 bit felt this package’s installer was of suspect origin. Got that? Security is so tight that despite multiple edits of the registry no go. But we were getting closer so..

One morning before my scheduled call to India, home of all secrets Microsoft, I attempted to install….the bar kept filling up…looking good…Oh noeees! Error code… Now when you get the error code you also get three buttons to push to select what to try. They are…

Abort

Retry

Ignore

I sat there for a minute and then the great techie in the sky spoke:

‘Retry, Retry, Ignore’ Thus I did and….

the install completed itself and shows no problems to date.

What’s it all mean? I really don’t know but if you Google this issue you will find that I am, as Napoleon said, Lucky!

Not smart.
