Bitdefender Antivirus Plus V10

I've been using this product alongside no other form of protection, it's doing a cracking job, it's really light on system resources, doesn't ask of opinions (firewall needs rules though) it's really good!

Anyone else used this? It's flippin awesome!


What do you think on BDAVP10 (hehe)

 

I think you should take advantage of the fact that your BDAVP10 key allows you to upgrade to BIS2008. And as a bonus, upon pronunciation, it's easier on the jaw muscle

 

I thought you had to have BD10 Internet Security suite to update to BDIS 2008 (i.e., doesn't BD10 AV+ only allow you to upgrade to BDAV 2008 and not the Internet Suite --- anyone actually upgrade AV+ to the newer version).

 

BDAV 10 -> BD 2008 confirmed
BDAV+ 10 -> BIS 2008 confirmed(I did it without problem)
BDIS 10 -> BDTS 2008 ?

BitDefender Internet Security V10 users are only upgraded to BD Internet Security 11. I used to think BD AV Plus users were getting a raw deal, now the tables have turned!

 

Thanks Kinwolf.

I did further checking on their web site and found that BD10 AV+ users are upgraded to BDIS 2008.

 

yep you can use your bd10 AV+ licence for the new 2008 suite.

enjoy.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

Just installed the 2008 IS on my wifes laptop. Seems good (had a Bit def V10 plus licence which worked a treat)

Same here, needed a good simple ISS for my duaghter to start Uni. Seems to be working well.

 

For those interested you can purchase a (2 users, 2 years) license for for
BitDefender AV Plus for 26.99 at a well known online site (not sure if it is appropriate to post the link but it begins with "N" ) and upgrade to Bd Internet Security 2008. I am not a fan of Security Sutes but could not pass this up.

Installed it on my Fathers computer and seems to ideal for him. I may get around to using it am not using it as I have licenses for Nod32 and Avira Premium.

Hope someone finds this useful

ok but there are some resellers on ebay, who you can get legit licences for av plus at a much cheaper rate than that.

just make sure its a power seller, and nothing dodgy.

 

How light does BD 2008 IS and/or Total Security run on your machine as compared to say NOD32 and/or Avira?

I am considering trying IS or TS, but am concerned about how they might impact performance.

Any help is appreciated.

performance is fine, give it a try.

 

Thanks, I installed BD Total Security, and running without the http scanner, it is a bit lighter than NOD32 or Avira. I literally could not believe it. I have tested every security suite known to man on my laptop, and this is without question-the least resource hungry of all.

 

i personally dont like the total security, i find the dublicate file finder dangerous and a bit pointless, also i dont need backup.

try the http scanner, its better to have it, and i notice no difference in browsing with it on.

yes it is quite nice on usages, however... it does have a few 'software bugs' at the moment, which im sure they are working on.

glad your enjoying it.
