(What's this?)
I have many years experience with anti-virus software packages.
I removed my previous anti-virus software and rebooted the computer.
I suspect some of the negative reviews here are because others failed to do this.
For this installation, I selected the custom settings as I like to know where the files are going.
I followed the instructions and when asked if I wanted to download the latest version I clicked OK. The download was fairly quick but the installation was quite slow. The installation procedure included a scan via the internet to ensure there were no viruses lurking to prevent the installation. A nice feature.
Once installed I allowed the software to complete a full system scan. I knew this would take a long time but I left the computer running overnight.
Since it was installed, I have monitored my machines resources. BitDefender uses no more, no less than the other market leaders.
I think it is overpriced and it can be beaten by the competition or even the free AVG, Adaware and Spybot software.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
Having used a different Internet Security program for several years now, I decided to give BitDefender Internet Security a go as I am often asked by colleagues "What's a good antivirus program to get?" Generally the trial versions they get with their new PCs run out after three months (or 30 days!) and the subscription service is more expensive than they realise.
I felt it was better to get more experience on a few programs so I could let them choose what was best for their needs or their pockets.
BitDefender can be found regularly in the top five of the top ten recommended Internet Security applications.
The interface has been tweaked slightly for 2011 from the 2010 version but apart from that it still does exactly what it's best at.
If your system hasn't been 'cleaned up' for a while and you've had a lot of programs installed and then uninstalled, you might find it slow until you run some housekeeping software to thin the registry entries.
And if you own an older dual core system less than 2GHz and 1GB of RAM or less, it may impact your other software as it stays resident in background processes.
If your system can take more memory, it would be a good idea to install it to help the system spread out a bit.
BitDefender IS 2011 will happily work in the background to protect you and your family while you are on-line from phishing and other cyber attacks.
If you have a child at boarding school and their laptop has access to the Internet, this will help protect them from on-line attacks.
When a child sees a message that their computer is infected, they just click OK to have it all fixed without realising what they are actually doing - and some adults do it as well.
It's not fancy, it's not in your face (except for pop-up alert messages) but it works.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I have read a number of the reviews on this product and it's fair to say they aren't all that favourable! When I first picked up my PC I am sure I was not alone in having to delete off the myriad of software that came preloaded promising to protected my PC from every known virus, Trojan horse and I am sure performances by Take That but I ignored them all and went with the free AVG programme. That said I thought I could do with some beefed up security and went for this. The first thing to say is that this is a CD based programme and my PC doesn't have a CD drive - bear this in mind! So after forking out for an external drive and gave this ago. It wasn't too bad to install, not the most intuitive but not the worst either so that was fine. The issue I have though is that is exactly what this product is - fine. I can't notice any discernable difference between this product and the one I use for free and in fact I have moved back to AVG.
From this review I am sure you can see what I would recommend but if you want the peace of mind of having paid for a product (and any product support this entails) then this isn't a bad option.

This was easy to install and didn't seem to slow my PC down - the only negative I have to say about it is the irritation factor of the constant popups. Read more
