Good technology and definition files, Bad update engine 
2008-07-25
Hi Everyone, I am currently using BitDefender at home. I am a systems administrator and I take my home security seriously. This antivirus has great virus definitions and the scan engine allows to customize settings. I like using the version with antivirus and antispyware only because it is not as intrusive as other versions with firewalls and thousands of plugins. The bad is that my computer needs to be rebooted every time there is an update.
Several annoying problems 
2007-12-08
We experienced several annoying problems with this product which we had on a number of PCs. The most important was that on several computers we suddenly got a message that the license had expired and the product would no longer run. This was without any prior warnings. On closer inspection of the logs , the AV definitions had stopped updating about a month prior to the product stopping. The expiration dates seemed to be correct, it just didn't display any warning ahead of time that the licenses was going to expire. In addition we have had some false positives during the system scan, and on one system in particular even though we have added the problem subdirectory to the exclude list, the system still finds a file in that subdirectory every week and quarantines it. To compound things, when it does this, most of the time it screws up the AV data base update, and it will not longer update the AV definitions until you reboot the machine.
We are moving to Kaspersky.
Good Product.

Works great. Easy to install and unlike other spoiled Antivirus packages
don't give you 3 more expensive options as much as saying that their first 2 aren't that good. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Joe
Much much better than Norton/Symantec 2007-09-10
I replaced my Norton System Works with this. The scans are much faster, it doesn't take forever to open an Email. It updates itself behind the scenes and doesn't take over my PC. And, it does a great job of catching stuff.
I couldn't be happier. Also note that you can put it on 2 pc's! I have it on my desktop and my notebook.
BitDefender Antivirus 10.0 
2007-09-08
Seemed to be very complicated to use. Too much hassle with the spyware feature. Finally gave us and abandoned usage.
First impressions 2007-08-26
BitDefender AntiVirus v 10 delivers a one-two security punch, integrating today's most powerful antivirus and antispyware modules into one convenient package. ***Protects 2 PCs for 2 Years***** SMALL BOX. Product comes with only ONE license key.

I used bit defender 10.0,on an old computer,but still working.It detected 7 viruses,but also the ordi shut down by itself during the process,and as never work since.I contacted Bit Defender custumer service,and talk to someone from "Roumania" ,with great difficulty to comunicate,and who ultumately was no help.So i personally cannot give a good rating .
One of the most efficient anti-virus programs availible 2007-07-18
Bitdefender is amazing. I have been using it now for nearly a month. It works with windows vista (when you get the download). It also uses very little memory to stay active. Updates itself automatically, often times you don't even know its updating. I would recommend this product to others.

At work they recently switched us from McAfee to BitDefender 10. Everyone in my departement clearly saw their computers slow down during the switch. It is quite frustrating.
Be careful with this item, 2007-07-03
I installed this item and the Bit Defender locked up my computer and made it very difficult to access the internet, email, etc, similar to the way AOL also locks itself into your computer and makes using the computer difficult to enjoy, at best. I had to take the computer to a local ISP technician to clean the computer of all the Bit Defender files and folders. It was a $150 lesson and I would not buy Bit Defeneder 10 again, or trust the Bit Defender company products.
