Customer Reviews

Very good, but other options exist...: Now there are several detailed reviews already exist here. I just wanted to give concise review with possible alternative.
1. The software generally does what it claims to be. Your computer will be well-protected (from viruses, spywares, spam, etc). Although, not every program performs equally well, but is good enough.

Good, but free is better.: I like this, yet I prefer Spybot S&D which does the same thing yet is free. More reviews

A Complete Suite With Liberal Support And Service: "BitDefender Total Security 2009" is the last of three computer protection suites that I have recently reviewed.

I have decided that I will wait with reviewing it until I had time to reinstall my Vista.
