    Extreme lag time with Bitdefender

    BUYER BEWARE! It slowed my brand new computer down immensely. I purchased a top of the line PC 4 months ago and it was noticeably slower the minute I installed Bitdefender. It also froze several times doing basic internet browsing with multiple tabs open, which it did not do prior to installing this. It is always running in the background and no way to turn it off unless you stop the entire antivirus program. I've had Webroot for several years and should have just kept that. I have already switched back and Best Buy would not refund my money on Bitdefender because it was a digital item. I highly recommend Webroot and the only reason I switched was because of an online deal for Bitdefender.

    Bitdefender slows my computer down especially when i check my banking accounts. I've uninstalled this twice now and still slows my laptop down. I use windows 11 and says it's compatible but i don't thinks so? Not Happy...

    If it didn’t auto install Bitdefender VPN I would give it 1 more star. You can uninstall the VPN. Also the firewall has an issue with Microsoft Flight Simulator 20 through Microsoft Store/Gamepass. You have to disable the firewall to play MSFS through MS Store/Gamepass.

    Product works as advertised, does not impact laptop performance too much, highly rated, well designed as experienced during trial period; cannot be purchased at counter in store, must be purchased online in order for digital download to occur

    Very disappointing. No mention on VPN hours allowed but found out there is a data cap after installing and tried to use VPN. Customer service was not great because I was misguided that this software allowed unlimited VPN data and that was the decision point for me to buy it.

      Hello,

      Thank you for your feedback regarding Bitdefender products.

      Please note that Bitdefender VPN is included for all Bitdefender subscriptions, and is limited to a traffic of 200 MB per day and device.
      If you wish to use a full version of Bitdefender VPN, you can purchase Bitdefender Premium VPN which allows you to change the server location and benefit of unlimited traffic.

      Have a wonderful day! BitDefender

    Bitdefender is a mixed bag

    Seems like great protection but there are too many popup notices about attempted external connections. The popup says to click for more information but all that appears is a file explorer screen without even indicating what program originated the message. You end up accepting or rejecting the communication without knowing whether or not it is potentially harmful and what program initiated the connection - not very helpful.

    Bitdefender TOTAL SECURITY - Highly Recommended!

    This is the second Bitdefender Total Security 2 yr subscription download I have purchased from Best Buy. It's a great value; the transaction was flawless and the Bitdefender internet security software does the job without hogging up computer resources. I swear by it and would without hesitation recommend it.

    it got good reviews but i hate it. Constantly trying to have me purchase (prompt) their VPN service. Constantly poping up a window that I have to "clear" whenever I do anything on internet. I preferred my old security system.

      Hello! Thank you for your feedback, which helps us to improve our services and your experience with Bitdefender. These pop-ups from the VPN product are just recommendations to upgrade to the Premium version, as the basic one offers only 200MB/device/day. You should have a STOP button in the product for the Bitdefender VPN pop-ups. Also, the notifications should stop automatically after using the 'dismiss' button for three consecutive notifications. Thank you! BitDefender

    Bad Support - Bad Parental Control

    The company gets good reviews for virus & system protection, but they're currently patching multiple issues with Parental Control, it takes @ least 10 days to escalate to 2nd level support with both Norton & Bitdefender, they both take too long to return calls when trying to support system ecurity & Parental Control issues.

    Installation seemed choppy, clumsy. Internet speeds lowered considerably after installation. Not sure if VPN came with Total Security suite or not. Not as good as the program was two years ago.
