Bitdefender is a well-known antivirus software from Romania.
The software is often highlighted and ranks among the leaders such as Kaspersky and others.
In this version, Bitdefender focuses more on AI Machine Learning to detect unknown threats.
Let's take a look...
Interface :
The Bitdefender interface has remained unchanged for several years, except that it has been refreshed since the 2025 version.
Everything is very straightforward, and AutoPilot provides advice on choices to be made (activating ransomware remediation, blocking cryptojacking, etc.).
The software is lightweight but becomes resource-intensive when in use.
Web protection: 7/7
All links are blocked.
3 link dead
Fake crack : 1/1
Blocked
Malware Pack : Remaining 19 threats out of 71
Initially, Bitdefender worked correctly and blocked the threats and traps I sent it.
Its responses were very fast and effective, and above all, it blocked malicious connections.
However, it let through a GDI malware that started displaying graphic effects (I didn't include everything because it hurts my eyes) and restarted the machine after 5 to 10 minutes.
The machine ended up blocked without the MBR: the malware corrupted it without any reaction from Bitdefender.
Too bad.
Final scan : PC destroyed
Final opinion:
Despite this misstep, which cost the virtual machine its life, Bitdefender remains a very good antivirus software.
However, I would have preferred it to add protection against MBR modifications, as the GDI malware was able to carry out its actions without any problems.
