    Comes with 5 device license. My wife and I use it on our android phones, iPads and laptop. It has more security features then any other security software I've used. It has a feature to locate, lock or wipe a lost or stolen device. You do this from another device that is on your account. I bought it because I read it's one of the best security programs available and I'm happy with it so far.

    Bitdefender Total Security 2018: . . . There are pirates and highwaymen and kidnappers . . . wait . . wrong century. Now it’s viruses, ransomware, adware or other malware. I prefer to witness these woes from behind a wall and not as a victim. Despite owning a Mac, with Apple’s own built-in protection, our computers are not immune from every threat. And the risk is only increasing. With so much bait out there on social networks, on blogs, via links to seemingly innocent sites, it’s inevitable that I’ll find myself at the wrong site. And, I’ve got family members who are not at all sophisticated with tech. Bitdefender Total Security is a highly regarded, trustworthy antivirus software that I’m quite satisfied with. Installation: Bitdefender was as easy as any other software to install. You’ll need to set up a Bitdefender account. There are extra steps associated with managing my mobile phones and tablets. But, the instructions are clear and the process runs without a hitch. Bitdefender builds security into the installs, requiring activation codes to change anything on your computer or phone. This enables one of Bitdefender’s neat security tricks: it can track, lock, or wipe your phone from the Bitdefender “CENTRAL” account you have established. Uninstalling looks to be equally easy, a simple selection on your account page. [Compare this to the nightmarish behavior of some of the competition, which notoriously acts like malware.] Operations: It’s hard to review a product that disappears into the background. Bitdefender is always working if you’ve set it on AutoPilot. You just can’t tell until something requires your attention. It is installed up on your Finder Bar, where you can find it for special scanning tasks or configuring preferences. While I continued to do my usual activities, which includes listening to music, web browsing in multiple windows, collecting email, I set Bitdefender to scan my Apple TimeCapsule over my network. I would have forgotten that was going on, but I left that window open, too. [Installation and activity for this review was accomplished on my MacBook Pro i7 3.5Ghz using my HD + 4K multi-screen setup.] My CPU Activity Monitor Utility indicates that Bitdefender uses 1% of my laptop computer’s processing power. Activity Monitor, itself, uses 2X that fraction when it operates! The memory burden is the same as my Dock, 60mb. As you might imagine, I’m not very concerned about CPU or memory overhead demands. Nothing seemed to be working slower. I’ve had Bitdefender on my iPhone, too, for long enough to realize I don’t know it’s sitting behind the scenes, watching for threats. That’s how I like it; do you job, no need to attract my attention. Bitdefender is slightly more visible on your browser header, looking like a single TRAFFICLIGHT. There, it reminds you that your site visits are being tested for known threats. For some added detail about tracking elements hidden on those sites, “click” on the TRAFFICLIGHT icon. Opening the Preferences of the desktop application illustrates my favorite feature of Bitdefender: there are descriptions on items that might be ambiguous, everything makes sense, and most everything else is intuitive for naive computer users. Bitdefender shows it doesn’t have to be complicated. I’ve become especially attentive about user friendliness as I grow old with technology. I’m not very tolerant if products are in any way aggravating. Not a problem with Bitdefender. It’s a powerful, easy-to-use virus protection solution, and it adds significantly to my confidence as I wander around the Internet. Be careful folks.

    I have tried a couple of different antiviruses in the past, including free versions. This is by far the best product that I have used when protecting my devices. It comes with 5 licenses to use for computers and phones, as well as an intuitive "command center" where you can monitor all the devices.

    This is without a doubt ,the best security program that I have used. It keeps up to date easily and does not slow down my laptop. I had a bit of a problem getting it to load at first, but the folks at their support central helped me get it right.

    This products gets high ratings so decided to try it and have renewed. It's a fairly straightforward interface and they have good documentation so you can figure out what to do when it blocks something you know is safe.
