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.

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 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.

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.
