Summary: very happy
Comment: the only reason, i didn't give it 5 stars was that i will not know until next year how well the 2 year antivirus works - but I am very happy with the product and amazon.com

Summary: Needs some work, but OK
Comment: We installed this on an XP and a Vista system. On the Vista system, the registry program works not at all. I have a registry repair pro freebie that found 282 errors, while bit defender said there were 0. I could tell by the way it was running that there were registry problems, and indeed it was back in top form after running the freebie. There are also problems on vista with it not performing some of the tasks it is supposed to, and I haven't gotten solutions to that downloaded yet.
On the good side, it seems to be much less intrusive and obnoxious than Norton 360 I had before. I didn't like them AT ALL and was glad to get it off my computer. With some tuning up, this will be a nice program. We liked the two year/three computer package very much. Norton was nightmare to renew, and hopefully the less often I have to renew the better it will be.

Summary: So So AntiVirus
Comment: Better than norton, panda or McAfee Av. After installing bitdefender, I found out product comes with enormous options of customizing the needs and doesn't take much memory resource like Trend Micro AV. However,after installing bitdefender, I can't remote desktop from my PC nor go to Microsoft Windows network. but I can browse or ping. I immediately knew this product messed up my registry settings. I ran winsockfix and problem got resolved. I don't expect bitdefender touch my existing software and mess up without my permission. I would not consider this as a quality antivirus product and that's why bitdefender will get 2 stars.

Summary: Was hopeful for a good outcome
Comment: I got excited when I found a AV suite that had a nice price and many had rated Bitdefender products high. However, I personally installed it on three Vista computers and had major OS errors after installing. On one laptop which my wife uses the email program WinMail from Microsoft the program crashed all the time and Bitdefender acknolledge the error with it's own screen requesting to send a error report (thank's for nothing).
Then it makes another attempt to launch the program! Of course another crash! I am a very savy computer user's and have not had this much trouble with software for some time. Beware! is all I can say.

Summary: 2008 version has problems
Comment: I ran the 2007 version flawlessly on our three home computers. When the 2007 subscription was up, I upgraded to 2008 version and the problems began. First of all it had some install problems on our Vista machine. The install would just hang for hours, forcing a reboot. On our XP machines, it installed fine but after about a month the firewall quit working on one computer and for some reason totally blocked the internet connection for that computer.
The customer service was dismal at best when trying to resolve these issues. Basically, I was told to download the removal tool and try it again. Heck the removal tool didn't even completely remove all of the registry entries. The overseas tech support was difficult to understand at time which further complicated the matter. The bottom line is I had to do a complete re-install of Windows to get things working again.
I do not know what they did between the 2007 and 2008 version but who ever did it should be fired. I strongly suggest you try ANY of the other security programs but this one.
