    Duration of ownership: 5 Months

    Strengths:

    Weaknesses: Slows incoming email quite a bit. Poor Customer Service with premature expiration problems

    Overall Evaluation: I guess the program worked OK but after only 5 months it expired. When emailing Bit Defender's customer service they responded a couple days later stating they've had a problem with their key codes. They gave me a temporary one to use which wasn't accepted. They then sent a patch that did nothing to update my expiration date. I'm now waiting, going on 3 days, for a reply from Bit Defender on what to do next since they haven't solved my problem. Soon I will have to go out and buy another program if I don't hear from them. Too Much Trouble

    Duration of ownership: 7 Months

    Strengths: A complete and a effective antivirus. It shows everytime one software tries to get conneted through internet.

    Weaknesses: Had a problem with a sudden license expiration. Had to wait 3 days before getting an answer and a solving patch

    Overall Evaluation: A good antivirus with daily updates of the virus definitons. But for a bug with the license expiration date, a product I would recommend.

    Strengths: Runs in background

    Weaknesses: Tech support

    Overall Evaluation: For close to 3 mo. now I have been trying to find out what happend when I tried to download the new version of bit defender. It apparently removed some files that were needed to download the new version. There tech support had me send a copy of the error report and the files on my computer pertaining to bitdefender. All they can tell me is my files are corrpted. I am well aware of this! Thanks to PC World I am running a free version untill I getb my money back from bitdefender but as of yet sales has not returned my email.
