"BEST BANG for your BUCK!"
Pros: Very low memory usage. Some of the most up to date virus definitions. Ease of use. Nice upload and download utility bar.
Cons: Not Fancy looking but just a peeve.
Summary: I have been using different Anti-Virus programs for the past 15 years. I originally used McAfee products as it was the top of the line in the 90's. I then switched over to Norton. Over the last few years there has been so many different Antivirus products coming out that it has been difficult to choose from. After reading many reviews(which can be very misleading) I tried BitDefender and I have to say that I am very happy with it.
1)BitDefender uses much less memory than any of the Norton/Symantec products.
2)The virus definitions are updated on a regular basis.
I actually prefer BitDefender Internet Security which includes a bunch of additional utilities for a low price. You now get a 2 year subscription for 3 PCs instead of a 1 year like most of the others.
I used Trend Micro PC Internet Security last year and was very happy with it but it had some annoying pop ups on a regular basis. BitDefender is much better in this area and for the 2 year subscription, I could not pass it up!
