Summary
Award winning protection from Bitdefender delivers the security you need in today's unsecured world.

 

Threats to your computer’s safety are constantly evolving, and as malware gets more and more complicated you need something that will also continue to grow to combat threats. In this Bitdefender Total Security review, I’m going to review a program packed with many different features to keep your information and your PC safe and protected.

What is Bitdefender Total Security

Bitdefender is an all-around, all-encompassing computer protection software. In addition to providing anti-virus and anti-spyware services, it also gives the user many more features like parental control, a firewall, online storage, anti-spam, and device theft protection. There are three different Bitdefender security programs, but Bitdefender Total Security is by far the most comprehensive, including the features found in all other versions and more. Bitdefender Total Security has been designed to be a full-bodied, but non-invasive way of keeping your computer safe. It runs in the background so you can focus more on whatever you’re doing and less on your security suite.

Bitdefender Total Security Installation

Generally, Bitdefender should not be difficult to install, but it has been reported that, if your computer is already compromised by viruses and malware, installing this program may be a little difficult. The phrase “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” really applies to this program – it’s better to install it before you need than to wait for a security issue. As long as everything works as expected, though, the installation should be pretty quick.

Bitdefender Total Security Cons

  • Minor performance impact. Since your computer does have to devote some resources to the antivirus software, there may be a slight performance loss to keep your computer protected from malware

Bitdefender Total Security Alternatives

There are many, many different anti-virus programs available for Windows PCs, so picking one may not always be the easiest choice. When looking for an alternative, you may want to watch out for several things.

First, watch out for the price tag. Some cheap anti-virus programs work just as well as some very, very expensive programs. Additionally, make sure that the anti-virus program you are getting is not very “bloated.” Some programs are notorious for using a lot of your computer’s processing power, slowing the machine down.

And remember that no anti-virus program will make your computer 100 percent invincible to every single threat, so being smart about the files you download can also play a big role in the security of your computer.

Some specific Windows security suites include AVG Antivirus, which comes in a free and paid version; Microsoft’s Microsoft Security Essentials; and Webroot SecureAnywhere suites.

Many anti-virus programs come with a free trial, so take advantage of that if you can’t make a decision about which program works best for you.

Bitdefender Total Security

Bitdefender Total Security has just about every anti-virus feature you can want and more, plus it’s minimally invasive. Few programs can claim all of that. In this Bitdefender Total Security review, I’ve tried to hit all the bases of why or why not this program is for you and also provide some guidance if you’re looking for alternatives.
