PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE BITDEFENDER BECAUSE IT HAS TUNE UP AND NORTON DOES NOT UNLESS YOU GET 360, JUST SAY IN TERMS OF PROTECTION

RE: BitDefender Total Security 2012 vs Norton Internet security

I would Norton Internet Security 2012 because it is lighter and has a better detection reate than Bitdefender. I would not buy the Norton 360 or Bitdefender Total Security because you can get the tuneup kind of stuff in other software and it is better. So if I had to pay for one of them I would choose Norton Internet Security 2012.

RE: BitDefender Total Security 2012 vs Norton Internet security

I chose Norton Internet Security. because, I already use a version of 2012 almost 90 days.
without any problems, or without some FP as well. system is running normally, does not feel slow.
I really like features of Norton are: SONAR

I've been using Norton Internet Security since 2009 and love it. It is light weight with a very good detection rate. SONAR is top notch and with settings set to aggressive you will be pretty safe. I can't really speak for Bit Defender and only have reviews to go by, so my vote is for Norton Internet Security.

I prefer Norton...it is very light on resources and has very good detection rate......Bitdefender, it is not so bad....it has very high detection rate......but its takes ages to remove the threats....

Bitdefender have created a good suite but they are a few steps behind Symantec , NIS 2012 is one of the most advanced suite on the market.
The main reason why I would chose NIS 2012 is the Insight technology , which from my point of view is a model that should be followed by all the other vendors.

i would choose norton internet security suite 2012,bit defender is very good but its a bit heavier and if they don't fix this i guess they will just loose more users.several users had problems with internet slow down,with the http scan, and anti phishing addon.they were telling customers complaining on their board to just put the option off,doesn't make any sense to me!

For me NIS found to be more user friendly that suitable for advance/novice user. Protection and Usability the reason why NIS is one of the top notch.

NIS is so streamlined in its efficiency it's sometimes a boring product to discuss :)
Powerful ability, lightness and excellent usability...

BitDefender's idiosyncrasies on the other hand can be talked about at length. They tried to take a leaf out of Symantec's book and introduced 2012 product lines with improved usability. At least that was the intention, which sadly was initially let down by serious functionality issues and far-from-excellent performance. Kudos to them for managing to turn that page and improve the product considerably. It's very stable now, low on system resources, no major performance issues [some browsing speed slowdown aside]. What has always been known though, is their excellent AM engine.

Where they're still falling behind Symantec is their cloud infrastructure and intelligence [take the stand-alone TrafficLight, for example - it still relies heavily on local AM definitions] and, not so unimportantly, the quality of their support [not a reflection on the committed and hard-working team members].

An accomplished and quiet achiever, NIS gets my vote.
