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
After researching and reading good things about it I decided I would try BitDefender Internet Security for my brand new laptops. As soon as I installed it, both of the computers started crashing with the blue screen. This all stopped as soon as I removed it.

5 Stars PLEASE,PEOPLE DO YOUR HOMEWORK WHEN BUYING & INSTALLING SOFTWARE****THIS PRODUCT IS EXCELLENT****
LOOK,IM NOT GOING TO WASTE TIME WITH ALL THE DETAILS–THIS IS A EXCELLENT PRODUCT.I HAVE USED THE OLD 7.0 VERSION KASPERSKY AND JUST RECENTLY UPGRADED TO THE NEW 2009 VERSION.THE OLD VERSION WAS GOOD,BUT THIS IS EVEN BETTER–THE OLD VERSION HAD A TENDENCY TO SLOW MY COMPUTER ALOT DURING COMPUTER START-UP ONLY,BUT IT NEVER LET ME DOWN FOR PROTECTION. AND YES IT ASKED PERMISSION FOR EVERY SIMPLE EXECUTION OF ANY FILE THAT WAS CHANGED OR OPENED,IT WAS SIMPLY ANNOYING.THE NEW VERSION DOES ALOT OF THE WORK ITSELF RATHER THAN ASKING WHAT IT SHOULD DO.IT’S SIMPLIFIED AND IT’S EASY TO UPGRADE,IT TOOK ONLY 10 MINS.TOTAL TO UNINSTALL KASPERSKY 7.0, THEN POP IN THE CD TO UPGRADE KASPERSKY INTERNET SECURITY 2009—DO NOT USE ANYTHING ELSE!! NORTON OR MCAFEE WILL LET YOU DOWN PERIOD,I HAVE USED THE NORTON 360 AND HAD TO REPLACE MY HARD DRIVE BECAUSE A VIRUS HAD ENTERED MY SYSTEM.NOT GOOD, I PISSED GOOD MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE I RELIED ON A ANTI-VIRUS THAT DIDNT DO IT’S JOB AND NOT TO MENTION WAS A HUGE RESOURCE HOG–IT SLOWS DOWN YOUR COMPUTER TERRIBLY.I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE ARE HAVING TROUBLE INSTALLING THIS PROGRAM–ANYTIME YOU INSTALL ANYTHING ON YOUR COMPUTER DO SOME RESEARCH TO FIND IF IT’S COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR WINDOWS XP OR VISTA OPERATING SYSTEM. AND MAKE SURE ALL OF THE FILES FROM THE OTHER ANTI-VIRUS YOU WASTED YOUR MONEY ON– ARE GONE,BEFORE YOU START!!!KASPERSKY IS COMPATIBLE WITH XP AND VISTA—IT STARTS FASTER AND GUESS WHAT, WHEN I UPGRADED FROM KAS 7.0 TO KAS 2009-YOU KNOW HOW MANY VIRUSES I HAD!-NONE!!!NOW THAT’S RELIABILITY.

5 Stars Kaspersky Internet Security
Solid protection for internet….some problems with identifying and blocking intrusions but otherwise a good product

5 Stars Kaspersky anti-virus/spyware
I’m pleased with this product. I’ve used Norton for years, but lately

it’s created more bugs than it caught, and slowed down the computer.

I tried Micro Trent and AVG, but encountered problems with each attempt

at installation. Kaspersky installed easily, and works in the background including downloading frequent updates. Very user-friendly.

1 Star Overrated
I bought Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 (3-computer version) on sale for $28 and installed it on 3 laptops in my home. I quickly became dissatisfied with it in less than a week due to its layout and more importantly its overall function. It’s good at identifying viruses, trojans & such but it’s quite vague when it comes to what you should do with the threats it finds… delete them, ignore them, keep them quarantined, etc.? Many users end up seeking assistance from the Kaspersky forum where volunteer “expert” moderators try to assist non-expert users with achieving solutions to various problems including how to handle identified threats, how to troubleshoot & repair glitches, etc. Saying to hell with that mess, I uninstalled Kaspersky and replaced it with Norton Internet Security 2009 (3-computer version) which I’ve found to be far superior to Kaspersky in both design and function. Unlike prior Norton offerings, this edition is blazing fast, unobtrusive and extremely user-friendly. I strongly recommend using free trial downloads to evaluate other antivirus programs (including the free ones) before purchasing Kaspersky.

5 Stars Kaspersky internet security
Great price and great product. I have been using Kaspersky for 2 yrs and have not had any security problems, though I did have major trouble when I used a dif. security product. Since I was already using Kaspersky I wanted to stay with this product. Works for me.

5 Stars An excellent security product.
Bitdefender Total Security 2009 2Yr/3Pc not only is an excellent security product, it also gives you two years and three computer usages.I purchased this fine product from Amazon.com for a very good low price at the time and have been using it ever since.Bitdefender does all it says and more. Buy it,try it, and see for yourself.

5 Stars Bitdefender
So glad to get away from Nortons. So far this total security system has been everything it claims.

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 Bitdefender Antivirus 2009
I have 2000xp with dialup, so it was time consuming to download the initial setup. I changed from Kaspersky because I was unable to download their renewal after 10hours. My computer performs a tad slower with this system than with Kaspersky. It was rated the best on the market, and it seems every bit as good as Kasp. A one year subscription to this antivirus is $20+ cheaper than my former antivirus.

2 Stars Fine when it works right.
I discovered that this software’s effectiveness in keeping computers “clean” was highly rated by several software review websites. That gave me a lot of reassurance that I was making the right decision when I purchased this software.

However, I have had trouble with this product working properly since I first put it on my computer. It has at times shown me errors along with a “fix” button that does not work when I click it. And if it does have a problem, you don’t get alerted with a message popping up on your screen… you have to be attentive enough to notice a change in the tiny BitDefender icon running in your task bar, such as the icon turning grey or displaying a “warning” symbol. One alarming incident for me occurred when BitDefender quit working (turned grey) without warning while I was doing online banking, and I only noticed it after I had been on my bank’s website for a while. Who knows how long I was going through my accounts without any protection.

There are live staff people on hand to help you with any problems you are having with BitDefender if you go to the website. However, you have to find the proper link to get that help first. One of the frustrating things I encountered was a website asking you to download additional software and capture information into two separate files, presumably so that the BD staff could get a better idea of what was causing any problems you might be having. However, it didn’t tell you where to send that information, nor did the staff person ask me for it when I contacted them for help. I have at this point reinstalled BD three times, and this third time perhaps might be the charm, because so far this time it’s working very nicely.

2 Stars Don’t
Customer service sucks; there effectively is no meaningful help if this thing stops working, so just go buy something else.

1 Star Slow down computer, Hard to uninstall
Install & setup was easy, ran ok the first day. Second day I notice my computer was very slow - loading of internet site was very slow and opening and closing programs. Had a lot of trouble trying to uninstall program, kept telling me it was installing program. After about the 3 or 4 time was able to uninstall. With Bitdefender removed, computer responsed faster. Install the free program AVG antivirus, very is running normal, no slow down.

That are alot of good reviews on Bitdefender, but I don’t know if most of the reviews was on a Windows Vista system.

4 Stars Jerry’s BitDefender Review
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.
