BitDefender Antivirus 2008

By Robert Vamosi (zdnet.com)

BitDefender Antivirus 2008 is perhaps the most improved of the antivirus applications we've seen so far this year. It is fast and light, and like Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7, our current Editor's Choice winner, BitDefender Antivirus 2008 offers hourly ...

BitDefender Antivirus 2008 protects against viruses, spyware, phishing attacks, and rootkits, and performs well on third-party, independent antivirus tests.

Review : BitDefender Antivirus 2008

By mfereday (gadgetspeak.com)

While purchasing antivirus software is optional, it is not an option you should ignore.

Anybody visiting the BitDefender stand during a computer exhibition will have no trouble realising that the company (Softwin) behind the product lives and breathes protection.  Whether it is its give-aways, such as sun block and prophylactics, or its ...

"Garbage. The worst ever."

By CrestRyder123 (cnet.com)

I did not like one thing about Bit Defender. It crashed my system completely, and I could not get through to customer service with email, telephone, or live chat. Never again. I removed it and downloaded AVG Anti-Virus Free. Much better!!!

I don't have enough room to tell everything I detest about Bit Defender. Each componnent is worse than the rest. It locked out my email, jammed my screen saver, and finally would let my system boot up at all. No customer service at all. Garbage.
