 Problems October 31, 2008
D. Reed
Unfortunately this is the 2nd Bitdefender I'm using. It interferes with other programs. I prefer to watch DVD's that I copy onto my hard drive since the actual DVD's if watched from running in the DVD drive get very hot and will ruin them in a short time as well as wear out the DVD drive. br /Bitdefender will often destroy the copy onto my hard drive. If I completely disable bitdefender prior to the copy I don't have this problem, BUT I often can't open the DVD drawer after disabling Bitdefender. I've all but taken a sledgehammer to my computer thanks to Bitdefender! Also if I burn a CD or DVD with BitDefender disabled, my computer completely locks up - I can't even restart or Shut Down. Disabling BitDefender is torturously difficult. DON'T BUY!!! br / br /
 May protect your computer while making it useless October 22, 2008
Book Max (Silver Spring, MD)
To be honest, my computer wasn't useless while I tried running this but it was unable to do basic tasks like burning data to a CD (wouldn't work with either Roxio or Nero). Trying to do so would freeze the computer up to the point that after a couple hours I would have to unplug the machine to get it to shut down. Bitdefender's support staff listened to my problems and were only able to tell me that they would fix the problem in a future version. And to top it off I managed to get 2 different malware programs on my computer while running this. A waste of money.
Unpredictable October 16, 2008
Norm! (Marietta, GA)
I've used Total Security 2008 on two computers for over three months. I never know what it's going to do next. I was working recently when systray status icon and the File and Network activity indicators quit and then stopped working. I couldn't tell whether it was still working or whether the computer was still protected. I rebooted. Within a week, the same thing happened to my son's computer. br / br /I still don't understand all the security messages that pop up constantly. I switched to Bit Defender after using Norton for years. Norton just seemed to slow down my computers. However, Bit Defender seems to be a bigger distraction. I installed Norton IS 2009 on my new computer and don't notice it's there, so I'll probably replace the Bit Defender with Norton, since Norton is cheap on Amazon and Bit Defender was free with the rebate (I hate to loose a two year subscription, but I'm loosing a headache, too.) br / br /Also if you have a rebate, make sure you pester them. I waited 10 weeks before calling and they brushed me off. I decided I'd call back periodically to remind them that it was overdue. I finally got someone to "escalate" it and the rebate came two days later, 3 months of waiting.
Only understandable to pros. October 2, 2008
Mr Health Insurance (Simi Valley, CA)
Not intuitive at all. Very limited built-in help. Hard-to-access service and no answer at their 800 number. All-in-all the 2 of 5 stars I'm giving is generous. The actual product isn't bad, but you need to be a BitDefender employee in order to figure it out. After 5 emails asking for help, I got a generic response with instructions to email them for help!
 Bang for your buck + Backup. October 2, 2008
R. Taylor (Lantana, TX)
After setting up the software on each of the PC's in my home-office LAN, I was pleasantly surprised that the firewall ruleset(s) were fairly automatic and the other sections were easily tune-able as well. The really nice feature (for me) was the ability to automate backup to my NAS (LaCie) device. The software allows for a mix of full and incremental backups with a settable number of backup files to keep. So, if you want to do a full every month, and augment with incremental every week with 3 fulls and 10 incrementals - you can do that. (That gives you 3 full restore points with a 10-day incremental "window") br / br /The overhead of the processes spawned by bitdefender is very low - and the systray clutter is minimal - just one icon to launch the software, two clicks to update. GOOD DESIGN! br / br /I use layered defenses and this is one layer - but at the price I paid - and the associated features of this product for my whole family? I am super happy with this product.
