Bitdefender is great with excellent support

Bitdefender is one of the best, if not THE best antivirus software. Its price is not excessive yet it gives a monthly notification of things it's protected one's system from. On top of that, if a problem or misunderstanding arises, one can be assured of a helpful, patient and diligent response that remains active until one is satisfied.
In summary, great antivirus at reasonable cost, regular notifications and excellent support.

Years long customer, very satisfied.

I've used Bitdefender for years and have always had good performance from them. Some day I hope to travel to Romania to visit their offices.

Don't install Bitdefender on some Android devices.

I have been a Bitdefender customer for many years and have relied on their Total Security software for my PC's protection and my Android mobile phone. I recently purchased a reputed MP3 player with an Android operating system. I set up a PIN, but when I rebooted the player the PIN did not work. I had to get the player cleaned by my local PC repair shop and the original software installed. Again, I reinstalled Bitdefender but again the PIN function did not work. Bitdefender's support said that they knew about this problem with non-standard devices (that is not a mobile phone) and their advice was to pay to have the unit cleaned again, and when reinstalling Bitdefender, don't install the PIN function. They felt no responsibility at all, and did not feel that they should have issued a warning.

Award winning antivirussoftware

Award winning antivirussoftware, that protected me so many times when accessing a dangerous website. Now and then a trojan was blocked from accessing my system.
The service is fast and efficacious as well. Easy access to online help.
I couldn't be more satisfied.

constantly deletes clean important files

It is always deleting clean and safe important files without asking, why not ask first is it known as being safe? Deleting Bitdefender and paying for a more reliable option.

Very good customer service if you get into some trouble. Not mentioning the real time protection you get as a free feature, even if you haven't paid a single dime. The paid version also comes with more security and values your privacy.
