- Horrible product
Bought this program based on great reviews in magazines and on the web, but after a week of trying to get it to work, I dropped it and went back to McAfee. The program shuts off its features, like the firewall, without warning and you have to reboot to get them back. If your computer doesn't have a fixed IP address, the firewall rules you create clear themselves at every reboot, and you have to reenter them. The program has a huge white list of hundreds of applications I don't use and has no way of editing the list to reduce it or add your own applications (believe it or not, the latest versions of IE, Outlook, and Firefox aren't on the white list). The program is a resource hog (maybe because of the huge white list)--it has a small footprint when there is no computer activity, but it really slows down anything that requires internet access. Firefox, Outlook, IE take more than twice as long to start.

- BitDefender Internet Security 2008
I purchased BitDefender after using McAfee for several years without problem because of online reviews and price. This was a mistake. I would not recommend BitDefender because of the following issues:

1) BitDefender frequently request a reboot when it updates itself over the Internet which is a nuisance. Rarely a requirement with McAfee.

2) Performance was impacted vs. that experienced with McAfee.

3) It was impossible to re-install MS Flight Simulator X with BitDefender installed. Kept getting access denied errors and the installation would fail. Could not disable BitDefender in a way that the access denied would go away. Finally uninstalled BitDefender. After that MS Flight Simulator would install. Never have had a problem like this with McAfee.

4. Every time I booted, BitDefender was slow to initialize and I would always get the error from Windows that says the PC is not protected by virus software. A nuisance.

5. At times, portions of BitDefender seem to just disable themselves until a reboot.

6. There is no real product warranty if you look at the included warranty. All that is warranted is the CD media. There is no warranty that it will do as advertised so you are just out of luck if you have problems.

In a nutshell, go with a more mainstream product.

- No technical support
I have used various BitDefender antivirus programs for several years and have found them to work well. Unfortunately, I bought a two-year subscription for Internet Security 2008 and have had several problems. I could deal with some of them if the company provided technical support. Unfortunately, they rarely respond to email and phone lines are always busy. They gave me an extension on my subscription as compensation for the terrible support, but that's not much help when I have been waiting since Thanksgiving for help and still have not received it. I finally removed the program and I am trying out some others. Quite a waste with about 1 1/2 years left on my subscription. I will never buy one of their producIts again.

- Not always protected
Have had Bitdefender v10 installed on two computers with XP Home. No problems. Installed Bitdefender 2008 IS, now have problems with both computers. Computers freeze when using the "tune-up" feature. Worse, Bitdfender will shut off its security features with out any message of doing so. Holding the arrow over the Bitdefender icon in the tool bar, get a message saying there are no problems. Double click on the icon to open it's screen, then will see where all of the security features are not enabled. Contacting their support team, just get back "canned" answeres.
Have lost my trust in Bitdfender even though there are sites giving it a good rating.

- Don't waste your time or money on this product
Installed yesterday and removed today. Could not get it to recognize the registration - kept telling me it was the trial version and gave me a registration screen every time I logged in. Live help - don't even go there - one hung up on ME when she forgot to hit enter and said i did not respond? Second one hung up on me when I complained about the system not working properly - it is slower than a headgehog - hog is probably a good name for the software. Could not load pages online with any speed - I have DSL and this was worse than any dial up you can imagine. I do have Vista but this should not be the issue if the software is correct.
I had problems uninstalling, too - so just be ware of this product before you buy it and get nowhere with it.
Guess you get what you pay for - this was less expensive than others - and seemed to be recommended by PC magazines and other users - ??? Got me wondering how.
