One of the BEST!

Pros: Easy to setup and use. Well done suite of applications

Cons: Parental Control a bit obtrusive

Review: I replaced Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 with this on all three of my machines. Night and Day difference. BitDefender uses approximately HALF the resources of TM. I am quite impressed with the suite of applications that come with Total Protection 2008. I didn't give service and support a 10 because they did not get back to me about a potential issue...that I solved on my own. Parental Controls can really slow the suite down...if you don't need it ..don't activate it...and this suite is FAST FAST FAST. If you use parental controls...expect your Windows to take about a minute longer to start. But the protection you get with this suite is WELL worth it.
