Pros: Protects your computer -- mainly because you can no longer use your computer. Cons: Delayed keystrokes, bogus phishing alerts, deep scans take all night, takes 4 times longer to log on. Fortunately, I did not install this software malware? I've had problems in the past with Norton not behaving with my other software, but Bitdefender has returned me to the days of trying to surf the net with a 28K modem. It's slow, buggy, and awful! Overall Review: You don't even know its on your machine until a threat pops up.
Pros: great detection rate and features, everything that an anti-virus software should be but Overall Review: I just had this software installed on a new dell studio xps laptop 16 and still notice a dramatic slow down. Also installed the other two pc and still experience the same slow down. Everytime I finish scanning or startup, the computers becomes ridiculously slow!
I have one for myself and bought this for my parents since my brothers love to get infected lol. I have yet to experience a false positive, too. Overall, I'm very satisfied with it. I have the other on my laptop and bitdefender on my PC, and this one just seems to be as good as the other.

Malware-definition updates are dispersed to million users worldwide several times daily. There's little in the way of adjustment and customization. Forget about toggling major features on or off or choosing what the program scans for. Everything is automatic, except the scanning of USB flash drives when they're plugged in — you have to manually right-click the drive in Windows Explorer or drag-and-drop its contents onto the main Bitdefender interface.
In recent evaluations conducted by independent malware-testing labs, Bitdefender did very well, although it showed a tendency to make false warnings. Only Kaspersky did better, detecting both types of malware all the time until it finally stumbled in April with a Bringing up the rear were Avast and AVG , which use the same malware engine.
They missed some zero-day malware 15 times since January , and some widespread malware 10 times. However, Bitdefender registered the most false positives — 47 — among all five malware engines over those two-plus years. Microsoft had 39 and Avast and AVG 26 each, while Kaspersky had only three, indicating a well-tuned detection engine.
In Austrian lab AV-Comparatives ' February-May series of tests, Bitdefender's defenses were nearly perfect, stopping an average of The positions were reversed in the July-October round, in which Bitdefender got Among the other three brands, Microsoft's malware engine may have been a bit too aggressive, as its Windows Defender had a decent Microsoft told us that the high false-positive counts were a result of its Smart Screen feature flagging anything unknown as potential malware, and AV-Comparatives chalking up a false positive every time that happened.
For its February-March tests, AV-Comparatives reportedly turned Smart Screen off, and Defender came away with only five false positives and an overall detection store of Avast and AVG had the opposite problem: only five false positives each but underwhelming In February-March , they each scored We normally use test results from Britain's SE Labs , but Bitdefender stopped being tested in mid after it got mediocre scores for neutralizing some malware rather than completely removing it.
Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition's minimalist features range from anti-phishing defenses to warnings of known malicious websites.
That's all that comes with the software. Bitdefender's free Traffic Light browser add-ons for Chrome, Firefox and Safari need to be downloaded separately, as does the Home Scanner tool that looks for insecure devices on a home network. Bitdefender Antivirus Free had a moderate impact on system performance as measured by our custom benchmark test, which clocks how long a CPU takes to match 20, names and addresses in an Excel spreadsheet. It used Windows 10 with the latest updates.
Before we installed Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition, we ran the benchmark to provide a baseline for comparison. The CPU took an average of The time rose to The 2.
Bitdefender Antivirus Free was slow to complete its first full scan, which took 1 hour, 4 minutes and 47 seconds. That improved dramatically after the first go-round, because the program had learned what to ignore and what to examine.
On subsequent scans it averaged 3 minutes and 38 seconds, which was so quick that it doesn't matter if Bitdefender Free lacks a quick-scan option. However, active scanning slowed system performance considerably. Our data-matching benchmark took an average of Kaspersky was the speed champ, slowing things down by only 1.
Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition's interface is open and accessible but overwhelmingly dark.
