Bitdefender Total Security – Complete Antivirus and Internet Security Suite – 5 Devices | 2 year Subscription | PC/Mac | Activation Code by Mail

I have been using Bitdefender as my antivirus protection for probably over a decade and find it to be the best of all the products in it's class. I am tech-savvy so already adept at avoiding falling into phishing and other traps which can wreck havoc on a device but I I would never go without any kind of virus protection software. I uninstall the bloated ones that tend to come pre-installed on a computer and install this. I have it on 5 devices, including my Samsung Galaxy mobile, 1 desktop, and 3 laps running Windows 10 or 11. I find the pricing for this software from Amazon to be awesome as a 1 year subscription would have cost me $99 from Bitdefender and I get 2 years from Amazon. The mailed code arrived within one day and when I entered it in Bitdefender Central, I received a confirmation that it was valid and accepted. The confusing part (which is ALL Bitdefender's fault) is that the My Subscriptions tab doesn't make it clear that the subscription was renewed (see top portion of screenshot). I contacted Bitdefender by chat and they pointed me to the (smaller) portion in the lower screen where the expiration date was updated. Why wouldn't the new license replace the old one? They say that it will kick in once the old one renews (even though the beginning date overlaps). I'm still happy with the product but just thought I'd point this out so others aren't wasting time contacting customer support.

Very easy to use and well trusted virus protection to have on your pc and phones.

For most people the 5 device plan works great. My desktop, notebook, Android phone, and my brother’s desktop, and his notebook are ALL protected with my one plan.... AND, having the best performing, highest speed premium VPN is a no-brainer - with NO data limits.... NO ONE needs to know who or where I am online from, and being able to select your "apparent location" with the multitudes of VPN servers makes for a truly stealthy internet connection.... When a new program attempts an internet connection, setting the "alert mode" will display a pop-up box asking to permit or block the connection.... The VPN is set to start as soon and my computer boots and that is especially important when paying the monthly bills via my banks online bill pay service.... Depending on the VPN server location selected, VPN speeds are >90% of my ISP speeds without the VPN on.... I have been a subscriber with Bitdefender for OVER 15 years WITHOUT ANY SECURITY BREACHES/HACKS.... Its real-time scanning is FAST and does not impact system performance to any noticeable degree....The TotalSecurity protection and their great VPN speeds will keep me renewing my subscriptions….

One presidential administration banned the use of Kaspersky on federal computers but allowed civilians to use it on their personal computers and devices. The last presidential administration banned it from being used by civilians. As a result, the Kaspersky Total Security suit that I purchased in March 2024 no longer can update itself. Kaspersky handed it's US business to another anti virus company and allowed that company to install it's software onto people's computers. Not cool. Thanks to the government, I lost money on my 2 year subscription.After being a Kaspersky user for over 13 years, I was forced to find something else. I previously had used Mcafee or Norton before they became intrusive, annoying, weak at scanning for viruses and malware, and resource hogs. Not to mention the customer service sucks for both products. Look them up on user review sites like Trustpilot, if you do not believe me.So I have settled on what some people online suggest to be the next best alternative to Kaspersky. Bitdefender is now installed on my PCs as well as my mom's PCs. I purchased the 5 device 2 year Total Security suit. Unlike Kaspersky, it does not come with a disk. It comes as an envelope with a credit card size paper card with product key. Once I setup up an account and entered product key, It downloaded the installation file and I had it installed on my computer within a few minutes. It asked if I wanted to protect other devices. Through my account, I was able email an invite with the download link to my mom. She clicked the link and downloaded the installation file and had Bitdefender installed on one of her business PCs within a few minutes. I did not have to share the product key or account password with her. That in its self is a nice feature.So far, it seems to be working with out excessive annoying pop ups like you would get with Mcafee and Norton. I liked how Kapersky would give you a real time on screen scan process indicator when inserting a flash drive. Bitdefender seems to do it in the background. Our computers have SSD storage and sufficient memory, so no slow down of computer resources has been noticed.

very good never got hack keep everything off my computer

Bought this as a present for my grandma. Setup was quick and easy. From creating an account, to download and install, to first time scan, it all took less than 10 minutes. No credit card information was required and no auto-renewal was necessary.
