Bitdefender Total Security – 10 Devices | 2 year Subscription | PC/MAC |Activation Code by email

Top-notch protection at a very good price
This Bitdefender version (there are many so choose wisely) is truly total protection (yes, there are upgrades but the basic package is more than enough for most) for many devices. Far less expensive than most of its competitors, some of which do not get the top ratings Bitdefender gets. Security is the one area you do not want to skimp on just to save a few dollars. With Bitdefender, you get great protection at an affordable price. And activating on their website is easy if you have another subscription with them.

No Competition……’Too Bad
In years gone by, the A/V testing labs made it clear that the 2 best security suites were those produced by Bitdefender and Kaspersky. This was borne out by experienced geeks (like myself) who had used both solutions for several years. The result was fierce competition between the two, resulting in steep discounts on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. A good example of this was when I was able to purchase a 5-user / 1-year license for Bitdefender Total Security on Amazon for $16 last year. Now that Kaspersky is illegal in this country (and for good reason, IMHO), Bitdefender has no competition, and therefore no reason to offer the kinds of discounts it has in the past. I find this situation deplorable. Not that Bitdefender isn’t a great product. It is arguably the best consumer-level security solution available. Sure, it has some faults: the pop-ups to buy their VPN are very annoying and full scans can take a really long time. Also, their “Safe Browsing” hardened browser isn’t as useful or easy to use as Kaspersky’s. (again my humble opinion, folks). But in terms of protection, it can’t be faulted- I can attest that it’s saved my butt on numerous occasions.(Both from outside threats, like malware and malicious websites, and from myself and my “dangerously curious” nature. My point in all this is that no other company has stepped up to fill the void left by Kaspersky’s absence from the American market, and that is terribly unfortunate for the end-user (aka: consumer). You see, competition is a necessary component for capitalism to work. Without it, the consumer will inevitably get screwed because, after all, to paraphrase a great president, “the business of the internet is business”. And companies feel obligated to take advantage of market conditions, and so we end up paying higher prices because there’s no viable alternative. At least, yet. I hope that regardless of what product you prefer and choose to use, you will put pressure on that company to do better. Because they’re supposed to be working for you; not the other way around.

Computer is secure!
Have used Bitdefender Total Security for a few years now. Has kept my devices secure without any loss of speed. Keeps itself updated – almost like it wasn’t there but you know it is, protecting your devices from viruses, etc. when bought for multiple devices, seems to be a great value!

2nd year purchase
I have purchased this product for the second year. I was previously using McAfee and found this product to be a little more useful for the jobs that I use and the purpose of my computer on the web.
