BitDefender Antivirus free again this Monday

Details, please! I have two licenses, one from AVG and one via your store. I haven't heard a thing from AVG or V3. Thank you.

 

I love that people are complaining over a $2 discounted IDP license when it was their choice to purchase it in the first place. Seriously $2? Im broke, but not that broke.

 

Anyone tried to apply the code directly in 2011 ?

Btw, avg and avg...This topic is about BD promo.

 

First up thanks for the offer, I still have my last key saved up and I plan on saving up this key to for when I need it. So when ever I want to use BD for two years I am covered

I am going to place my guess on it being a Webroot or Trend Micro giving, though to be honest I am going to put a bigger guess of it being Trend Micro. Yet I hope its something I may want to try.

 

I have not tried it yet but since he said "It's actually the 2010 build (don't ask, BitDefender's requirements, not ours), but your code will work with the 2011 edition and you can auto-upgrade to the 2011 edition" I'm guessing you cannot apply it directly to it but can do a auto upgrade.

 

Use the build provided here and as part of this promotion. Using any other build, with the promotional serial code, may not guarantee future updates (such as the 2011 edition, which you will receive free of charge as part of your subscription).

In previous promotion few months ago, it was the same statement, but despite that you could put code to 2011 edition. I guess that now its the same

 

Actually, it was $2.75. As for choice, this was marketed as a promotion and it was not stated the license and support expiration would be tied to the release of AVG 2011 within the next month or two. I love it that some one considers this "choice."

But some actually paid the full price. And regardless of price it was one party, AVG, that reneged on their end of the deal with a "Too bad, ain't it?" to the other party, the payee.

The complaint isn't about the money - it's about the contract. DUH. At the very least, the $2.75 was a scam; at worst, if it's OK for the $20 license, it's OK for the $50 license, too.

Of course here at Wilders the norm is for the Where's-my-free-stuff? crowd to howl and lament about some delusory shun by the developer where the sniveling user's sole commitment is to click a download link and whack install wizard continue and finish buttons. Just look at this thread: chriswiles posts up details for a free offer and look out, here comes the What-else-is-in-it-for-me? crew.

All references to the Identity Protection stand alone product have vanished from AVG's Web site and at this point in time the inclusion of IDP in 2011 Free is absent from their product comparisons. Complain? Damn straight I'm gonna complain.

Off-thread and enough said. (Hey. That rhymes!) Thank you.

 

Got my bitdefender AV license. Nice! Thanks to all who mentioned this giveaway. I think I'll put it on my wifes laptop with some free firewall.

 

I have and it shows as a valid registration, with 365 days left. Whether the auto update for the database works is something i have to keep an eye on.

 

Thanks for that. Good to know. For the moment I will keep the code in the closet.

 

Can someone here post a download link for the offline installer of 2011? The one's from Bitdefender are quite slow...

Thank you

So at the end does it work with 2011 or not?
