A powerful antivirus to protect your computer and other devices from malicious attacks.

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus is a robust malware detection tool which absolutely has a minimum impact on your system's performance, allowing you to maintain system speed and responsiveness.

PROS

It's a powerful antivirus which keeps your system fully protected 24/7, without having to worry about anything.

CONS

For the multiple users package, once you install it on one device, you're compelled to install it on the other devices at the same time, otherwise your license period begins to count from the moment you do your first installation.

Nice replacement for Kaspersky

PROS

It integrates unobtrusively into my Windows system.

CONS

There is no option to switch it off for a while, you have to uninstall and re-install, which feels clumsy and awkward.

Reason for choosing Bitdefender Antivirus Plus

I looked for a clear UI and an attractive price. I installed al other products test-wise but only Bitdefender "survived" that review process.

Reasons for switching to Bitdefender Antivirus Plus

In Germany we had an official warning to use Kaspersky any longer because of the Russian war against Ukraine.

A real disappointment

I won't be buying this product. Overall I feel I will use my free product and it hasnt shared my information with others that I was unawares

PROS

It does everything it says and more however, free software performed same tasks.

CONS

It shared with other sites I wasn't aware of. You can get equally safe software free.

Uses different approaches to guard devices from threats

The performance and effectiveness of Bitdefender meet our expectations. The software is relatively easy to set up and change security settings compared to competitors. It can perform quick and deep scans without affecting device performance. However, the pricing might need review to accommodate small companies. We have also noticed a few cases where Bitdefender blocked legitimate files, which might be frustrating but much better than approving infected files as legitimate.

PROS

Bitdefender scans files quickly and efficiently without slowing down the computer. You can continue working or browsing without noticing significant lag. It has a well-designed layout that gives you easy access to settings and necessary features. You can perform quick scans and deep scans whenever you feel is necessary. I also like its secure browser and VPN that protects sensitive information.

CONS

I have had instances when Bitdefender blocked legitimate files from reliable sources as infected. This requires you to adjust the settings causing delays or frustration. The VPN is simple and limited in terms of data and ip addresses you can use. I'd also appreciate if they would review their pricing downwards

Offers more than basic protection against malware

My company has many computers and sensitive data from clients, all of which need protection. Therefore, we needed a reliable tool such as Bitdefender Antivirus to keep our devices and data safe. It is easy to set up and customize and has many layers of protection. It scans quickly and sends alerts on time before you access or download a suspicious file. It protects the data stored in the computer and also keeps us safe when browsing the internet.

PROS

Bitdefender Antivirus uses many measures to protect devices from phishing, malware, and virus attacks. I like the real-time monitoring which responds to potential threats instantly. It is quick to identify and block fake sites that could be used to collect personal or business data. It allows you to change your IP to visit sites anonymously, minimizing the risk when browsing.

CONS

Bitdefender Antivirus is relatively expensive especially when you consider others like Microsoft Defender which comes with Windows. I would consider switching back to Bitdefender Antivirus if they reviewed their rates downwards. The VPN is useful but it slows down the web page loading speed. It also offers only a few IP options.

Reasons for switching to Bitdefender Antivirus Plus

It is only usable on Windows devices

Honest Review of Bitdefender Antivirus Plus

Bitdefender Antivirus offers several layers of protection to keep computers safe and protect sensitive data. It performs deep scans to identify and deal with potential threats. It is has a well-designed dashboard which makes it easy to navigate and customize security features.

PROS

I like the simple dashboard that allows you to check the security status, navigate easily, and customize settings to match the desired security level. Bitdefender is always active monitoring the computers against a broad range of threats. It has advanced security features including VPN, a password manager, and a unique browser for improved protection especially when browsing sensitive websites.

CONS

The VPN comes with limitations which often leads to inconveniences. If you browse many sites using VPN, you might need to install a dedicated VPN for better protection. However, I very well understand that Bitdefender is not designed primarily for this purpose but provide VPN only to enhance protection. False warnings sometimes cause tension only to realize the files flagged are safe.

Provides Holistic Security Against Different Potential Threats

Bitdefender provides holistic protection against different threats, even when browsing. It is quick to notify you about potential threats minimizing the chances of downloading or installing malicious programs. It does not have a significant impact on the device's performance. However, sometimes you may not be certain what files could be infected because it might send a false alert for a safe file from a legitimate source. Overall, we have never had a major system security challenge for the time we used Bitdefender.

PROS

Bitdefender provides real-time system monitoring to detect and disarm any malicious programs. The web filtering feature allows us to safely browse without worrying about accessing malicious sites. It does not slow the computer, even those with low storage space. Lastly, configuring and controlling security is easy because it has an intuitive central control platform.

CONS

It shares very little information about previous threats, which is important in making decisions to improve security so the reporting feature might need attention. Sometimes it alerts you that a certain file from a reliable source could be potentially harmful. This could confuse you because you can never be sure what files to access and which ones to avoid after several such alerts.

My choice for home antivirus

I've used Bitdefendr Antivirus Plus for 3 years and I will renew my subscription for 3 PCs, it's so cheap and it comes with all the essential features that I need.

PROS

It's easy to install, the threat detection is awesome, the UI is easy.The 3 PC/1 year deals is an absolute bargain.

CONS

The unlimited VPN access requires a separate subscription so I'm using another solution.

My honest review for Bitdefender Antivirus

My experience with Bitdefender is positive but the pricing and the few cons mentioned could be a hinderance. In terms of performance and reliability, Bitdefender exceeds our expectations. It offers much more than what regular antivirus provide, including VPN and a safe browser.

PROS

I like Bitdefender because of its impressive ability to monitor the computer, detect malware or other threats, and respond quickly. Bitdefender makes me feel secure when browsing because it scans websites and blocks suspicious websites that could collect sensitive information. It has a safe and secure browser, a VPN, and file shredder to ensure important data does not land in the wrong hands.

CONS

Sometimes the popups and alerts from Bitdefender can be disturbing when you have a tight schedule and a deadline to hit. Scanning files and updating Bitdefender slows down the computer and could be frustrating. I tool time to get used to Bitdefender, learn how it works and be able to customize settings.

Antivirus completo dal prezzo competitivo

Come antivirus offre una sicurezza a 360 gradi, contro ogni minaccia salvaguardia i file del pc dagli attachi di virus e malwaere, al contempo ha un interfaccia leggera e snella molto versatile e dal prezzo molto completo per quello che offre. L'unica grande lacuna e l'assistenza che non è all altezza e sinceramente è stato il motivo per cui ho cambiato brand.

PROS

Mi è piaciuto molto la sua estrema facilità di utilizzo , la vpn inclusa nel pacchetto, la possibilità di proteggere più dispositivi vedendo in real time cosa succede su ogni singola macchina. Non è pesante e meantiene delle ottime perrfomance di rilevamento

CONS

Putroppo l'assitenza clienti ha delle lacune ed alcune opzioni non sono chiare i ticket raramente vengono riposti. è una grande pecca perchè il prodotto merita.

Antivirus economico ed efficace in particolare in ambito anti-phishing

Questo sistema di protezione è stato utilizzato con soddisfazione per circa un anno su due postazioni aziendali, in particolare per tenere sotto controllo i potenziali attacchi di phishing e la protezione dei profili social. Si tratta di un ottimo software specializzato in questo tipo di protezione, mentre per un utilizzo standard come antivirus e antimalware esistono alternative più efficaci e funzionali.

PROS

Ottima efficacia in particolare in caso di attacchi phishing, interfaccia utente efficace e funzionale, costo moderato per una licenza da 3 dispositivi, buone funzionalità dedicate alla protezione di privacy e profili social network.

CONS

Il supporto tecnico di base è efficiente ma limitato, in caso di supporto tecnico dedicato sono previsti significativi costi aggiuntivi. Installazione del software macchinosa.

Reason for choosing Bitdefender Antivirus Plus

Perchè risultava più specializzato nella protezione anti-phishing.

Offers multilayer protection against various threats

Bitdefender provides solid real-time protection against various threats. It reduces the chances of sharing sensitive data with potential hackers and keeps you updated about any security threats. It scans relatively quickly and rarely sends false positive alerts.

PROS

I like Bitdefender because of its quick response to threats and timely alerts. It scans quickly and does not slow computer performance. It can prevent the system from different approaches that hackers use to steal sensitive data. You can adjust the settings to allow automatic scans or consider scanning everything manually. It has a relatively simple design but works efficiently.

CONS

It displays adverts which could be frustrating for some users. It seems to slow down the computer a bit and has a steep learning curve for someone who is using an advanced antivirus for the first time.

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus is a good antivirus solution, but it’s not perfect

Our experience has been relatively positive despite the issues with performance at times.

PROS

The application is easy to use and has a simple interface that’s intuitive and attractive, with advanced threat detection and removal capabilities. It offers real-time and multi-layer ransomware protection that seem to be doing a great job. You can run a scan manually, or you can set Bitdefender Antivirus Plus to run scans automatically.We specifically like those two features: Bitdefender Safepay, which prevents sensitive data from being sent to hackers by detecting and blocking attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in apps, browsers, or devices; and Secure Web Gateway (SWG), which protects users from malicious or fraudulent websites.

CONS

The cost can be on the high side compared to other similar products. We sometimes had issues with the software conflicting with other programs on our computer and slowing down our computer.It may have a high resource usage...
