App Review Bitdefender Total Security 2022

[Trooper]

As I said, no idea if it's still the case.

Time for someone to test.

a

Buggy ? I don’t think you are right. It runs perfect and with my and @Shadowra testing it detects and removes any malware without any issue.
Get your facts straight

My facts are based on my own experience with norton(1+years)
I am here to share my experience If you want to get facts straight I think you should do that first.
Also do forget the last big Norton update ( the first version number) is in 2012 ( one of the norton community helper said that) . So would a software that is released in 2012 and haven't recived any huge update be working bugless in 2022?
Btw the file that Norton struggles to remove is a browser download file of a fp.
Cheers

Time for someone to test.

I have tested it enough I think
Indeed it is excellent.
The only problem I can point out is on Powershell malware. Norton tends to skip them (I managed to install a Bihrat yesterday... But I can excuse it, only Bitdefender (Emsisoft, Gdata, Alyac, EScan too) , Eset and Kaspersky detected it).
Norton started screaming with its anti-intrusion module and suggested to use NPE.
The threat was removed.

if NPE pops up it means it’s detected

I have it on 2 devices and I don't have that problem that the services don't start. Your pc could be the problem. Why do they say that it is bugged if it is one of the best av on the market and if not the best. The technologies used by BD are not found in any other av engine, an example of this is the BitDefenderTheta ai. Greetings.
The only bug I've had is a problem with web scan, especially encrypted scan, which has problems with twitch certificates. Solution disable that feature. Y another thing Bitdefender doesn't need to be configured like other av's because it works entirely with artificial intelligence, install it and forget it.
I think the only thing that bothers me is the mandatory installation of the vpn, since if you uninstall it, it will install itself and it does not allow you to not install it in its installer. I feel that this happens because the banking protection works mixed with the vpn.

Hm...
Right may be my PC is Problem btw Idk why another Avs work well
Who said BD Company is 'one of the best?!'
Any Evidence about it?
Bitdefender is just a Private Company & no one know whats happen there!

It’s not my pc, since this service issue happend on all 3 of my computers here at exactly the same time. Like @omidomi said , he has the same issue and support knows about this for more than 3 years and they don’t fix it. Just ask to reinstall. So be happy it has not happens to you yet. For me absolutely not one of the best AV.

My problem happens in 2014....a day I start my pc & BD logo go gray & not work

Hotspot Shield comes with my Dashlane subscription, and the installer does not come bundled with any extra programmes. Maybe because it is a premium license?

Malware, User Privacy Failures Found in Top Free VPN Android Apps

One in five apps from the top 150 free VPN Android apps in Google's Play Store was flagged as a potential source of malware, while a quarter of them come with user privacy breaking bugs such as DNS leaks which expose user DNS queries to their ISPs

I'm using BTS trial. I like it pretty well but some things about the interface I don't care for. I don't notice any heaviness on this machine (Win 8.1 i7-3770, 8GB) but tried it on an old slower Win 7 laptop and it was unusable. Newegg has a deal, BTS, 2 years, 5 devices for 30 dollars. I might stay with it.

Use whatever works for you. For me it is too heavy.

Bitdefender has always been heavy/buggy on my system however protection wise it's pretty good (specially the anti-ransomware module). Some weeks ago I tried the new BD Free but had to restore a system image since it slowed down my laptop to a crawl (Postman and other programs I use on a daily basis took ages to open even WD performs better).

EDIT: I forgot to add that running a full system scan while working inside WSL2 made the OS freeze (only the cursor worked), subsequent scans ran fine tho.

I don't want to add fuel to the fire with Sunday. But I got the BD TS the other day. I was a little apprehensive about installing it (reading reviews about the heaviness of the program). I got the laptop after a full first scan. Intensive work on the laptop (browsing with multiple tabs open in Opera). I don't notice any drastic slowdown.
I have been changing security quite often lately. But BD TS is really - I emphasize - on my laptop light to use.
Arcabit which I used for a long time was harder to use (windows took longer to boot, launching other functions took longer).
I don't use BD VPN - but I guess it doesn't matter that much.
For me a better choice is BD IS.
BD TS has tools e.g. for system optimization which is unnecessary for me.

To sum up, I think that on each device the program behaves differently and should not be put into one bag - because someone says so
I am an example of that.
Have a nice Sunday

Do you know how to disable the auto pilot in the software ? Is there such an option at all?

In the past, there was an option to disable it.
It seems to me that it no longer exists.

I think you're right. The best thing is that the Polish Bitdefender support doesn't know how to do it either.
Today I wrote on the online chat - the answer was simple - we don't know

Yeah I do not think it is possible any longer as @Shadowra has mentioned.

10/10 support, 100% honest answer. We don't know
But what does auto pilot do anyways?

 

[M4RT1NE2]

I got a reply from BD support again - you can't turn off auto pilot

Well that's a bit of a let down. More like BummerDefender. It works, but there's just enough quirks I can't put it on my gaming system. I liked it on my laptop for surfing and general computing.

 

[M4RT1NE2]

From this place I can praise Polish BD support. Very quickly respond to problems asked them. Yesterday they helped me to remove from my BD Central account my BD Total Security 180 day Trial subscription because I had a problem with installing BD IS. They handled the issue very quickly and professionally.

The worst support has Avira unfortunately.
That's where paid version customers count.

I did buy BTS. It runs fine. The weird thing is their VPN that's added on. You get 200mb a day and by the time I go to check the IP address and another like site it tells me my 200mb is used up. Wow, that was fast. So for me it's a useless add on to BTS.

I look forward to your BD purchase. I have BD IS and I don't use BD VPN either
