Summary: A Good Buy
Comment: For the price, Bitdefender's Internet Security 2009 (Family Edition) is bargain priced. First, customers can run the program on three computers. Second, the program can be used for two years without additional costs, while it has all the features of the more costly Norton Internet Security. It does lack some desirable features of Norton 360, Version 2.0. But Norton 360 is more costly and subscription must be renewed every year. If you want more features like Tune-up, Back-up, or Online Back-up, Bitdefender offers another similar program called Total Security 2009. It has all the features of Norton 360, Version 2, and it also sells with a two year subscription.
I have installed and used Internet Security 2009 on Windows XP for almost two months without any problem. In fact, my computers seem to run a little faster than they did when using Norton 360 - for all Norton's claims of tuning up the P.C. and optimizing its performance. Additionally, Bitdefender's Internet Security 2009 runs without annoyingly drawing as much attention to itself as does Norton 360.
I'm permitted to update this review, and I will if I experience any problems. Until then, I can only say that Bitdefender's Internet Security 2009 is a good program and a really good buy.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Buggy
Comment: I'm incredibly disappointed in this product. Some of the issues I've seen:
Game Mode: This feature is currently broken. When playing many full-screen games, Bit Defender will "alt-tab" you from the game to your desktop. It is very annoying.
Anti-Phishing Tool: The add-on causes the Firefox browser to crash. At first I didn't know what was causing my normally rock solid Firefox so many issues, but a trip to the BD Forums showed that most Firefox users were seeing the same problem.
Status Dashboard: BitDefender will tell you that your updates are out of date or you've never done a scan, despite the fact you've done them recently.
Scan Stalling: Many times Bitdefender will stall when doing a scan. It will just sit on the same file for over an hour, requiring a restart of the scan.
Crashes: Currently, my BitDefender will not even start up. It worked ok for about 3 weeks, but with the most recent updates it just crashes upon loading. I've tried to re-install and/or repair multiple times, but nothing works.
Support: I've sent in bug reports, but got no response. They seem to be blackholed or overwhelmed. I also did a live chat with one of their tech support. She didn't provide any solutions, but said she would email me a diagnostic tool, but nothing ever came.
The combination of BitDefender's features and protection level was very enticing to me, so I tried out this product. I would've been won over if the software was only stable and worked as advertised. It doesn't.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not reliable
Comment: Reviews said this product is the best today but once this is installed try to look at your settings, real time protections are always disabled and you have to enable them if they would, every time you open your computer. How can you be sure you're always protected by this software.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best bet for the money.
Comment: Not bad at all. I'd stress tested this for 7 weeks now. Two things got by it, Root.v6 and SELOP.W32 which arent even in the wild. Upon updating, it found BOTH of them, but had trouble with quarantine. I was able to manually delete from Windows backup and the sys32 folder without hassle.
Updates were smooth and not like the other "popular" types that are just bloatware with infrequent updates.
I'm NOD32-biased, but I was impressed.
