bitdefender Antivirus 2010 (3PC / 1YR)

Pros: really did not like it , so to me there are no pros.

Cons: very intrusive,won't let you opt out of windows updates,
really just tries to do too many things ,then does nothing well.

Other Thoughts: I bought a 3 license and a 5 license from Newegg, after

fighting with the program for 4 months went back to AVG

and put these in the circular file cabinet.

Pros: Easy to install and use. Provides for various levels of technical expertise. Would be great if not for the one con listed below.

Cons: This program crashes every few days. And not in a way that allows you to simply bring it down and restart it--you have to completely reboot your system to get this one program running again. This appears to be a fairly prevalent problem from other users (google "Bitdefender services are not responing"). I've contacted tech support and tried their suggestions, to no avail. Would highly recommend this product, but for these constant crashes.

Pros: Installed on W7 with no problems. Clean and easy to use.

Cons: W7 64-bit - wipped out 3 of my systems with their minor bug release on 3/20/2010. After that little problem and the need to restore three systems BitDefender now crashes once or twice a day. Needless to say it is gone and I am using another program!

Other Thoughts: Twice burned on a NewEgg Anti-Virus special. I also bit on the Trend Micro offer.

Pros: Well this software is all hyped up on most review sites.

Cons: It seems not to work well with windows 7 bitdefender crash at start up or I would get warnings no virus protection at start up. And then the bomb was dropped on me by this software. SEE OTHER THOUGHTS.

Other Thoughts: Bitdefender sent out an up date if you were using 64 bit OS you got False infections and it went on to quarantine or delete files. All kinds of programs stopped working and so did bitdefender. Had to reload my OS. I still have 325 days left of this junk. Check bitdefender web site you will see.

Pros: good antivirus for the money

Cons: none at all. got for a family member and they love it

Pros: I've had this product for quite some time now. It runs flawlessly, does not consume resources and stays out of my way. I've use Norton and McAfee before and switched because of price. I would choose this product over those even if it cost more. This price is unbelievable.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: If you're having performance issues, something is wrong - this is much less invasive than competing virus software.

Pros: Couldn't find any

Cons: tech support none

Other Thoughts: this antivirus slowed my computer down to a crawl I e mailes tech support that was 2 weeks ago still waiting for a reply. do not buy

Pros: This have been a great product so far no complaints. I have it running on three laptop in my home and so far no one has complained about it slowing their system down.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Fairly easy to install. Installed on 3 computers. Newegg had great/fast shipping as usual.

Cons: Popup on startup exists to remind me to activate the product (it has already been activated). I have tried everything. Research on internet shows it is a common problem. No response from Bitdefender after a promise of a 48 hour response (it's been a week).

Other Thoughts: I will uninstall it and go with another product.

Pros: The only good thing I can say about this is that it was easy to install

Cons: This thing is a total system hog, ever since I installed it my laptop would freeze up, it would not allow me to run any apps, as soon as I removed it from my system my laptop has been working fine

Other Thoughts: It's a good thing this horrible product only cost me 10 bucks because I cannot return this trash to get my money back because of the software policies. Not NewEggs fault but how can you not open software to know if it is any good??And then cannot return open software if it's bad
