 Great price - so far so good January 8, 2009
Great price! Bit Defender was selling only 1 year for more than I paid for 2 years! So far it is keeping the bad guys out!
So worth it January 6, 2009
This product was easy to install, easy to use and very effective. It has a rather large footprint and slows me down a little but it is so worth it. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for total security and PC tune-up features. Just be careful with the registry clean up...you don't want to delete something that you need. I would leave this feature to an advanced user.
 Finally, but took 4x times to install. Poor customer service January 6, 2009
I took my time to choose a security program and decided on Bitdefender. Took 4 times to get it installed right. Program still freezes my PC during a deep scan. So I separated each area and did it one at a time. The rest works okay...so far. I did try to contact technical help and customer service. It took 10 days for a patronizing answer from Customer Service. Which was no help at all. I repeatedly tries to get technical help on line then on the phone...terrible response. Then all the tech said was to uninstall and reinstall. Which I did. Darn near returned it, then the 4the time uninstalled and reinstalled it again. Kept it because Bitdefender doesn't slow down my PC like Norton 360 did. Other than the deep scan, the rest works as good as any.
 Worst software experience ever! January 6, 2009
BitDefender shut down outgoing large emails on 2 systems. They said it was not their issue. I spent a total of 8 whole days of business time trying to define what happened. Time Warner Cable spent 8 hours with me. I kept getting bounces and statements that my mail box was 70% full. I finally reached of someone (support in Romania) who said it was a known issue. They sent tools for me to run and email results. I never heard back in the hour they promised. Next person I was able to reach said I didn't run the tar files. Sent me a new tool. Again, never heard back. Next day someone said they had corrected the issue on a down load. I uninstalled BD (emails then worked) and did download. Problem reappeared. I spent 4 hours trying to get through again, and finally gave up and got McAfee. They do not answer the phone. They answer and disconnect. They do not respond to emails. They disconnect from chats. There is no REAL tech support. The program has a design flaw. They refuse to refund any money. IF you would like days of frustration, get BitDefender.
Echoing the negatives January 2, 2009
I agree with everything Jane Dust, Derek G, and Ezekiel Zabertini had to say. I tried this product based on Consumer Reports, and wish I had not. I also have the issue with MS Windows security update KB954430 reported by Jane. Google "BitDefender KB954430" and read about the others. I've worked in IT for a living and can sympathize with balancing feature content, quality, and market timeliness, but this product is beyond reason in my opinion. This Romanian company has a lot to learn about software quality.
