Summary: Decent Security Program--Just Bulky
Comment: This is a decent security program. Has great security features, such as dialed in WIFI protection for public/campus WIFI and allowing you to fine tune those WIFI connections. Overall the program is easy to use and will protect your computer---but at the cost of being bulking and making your computer run a little slow. I think there are better programs out there that do the same thing and don't make your computer run slow.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An average software
Comment: I am a cautious Internet user and most of time I don't need a security system because I don't visit suspicious sites at all. I use security software mainly for anti-virus and minimal internet security just for added protection, so I usually try to find a program as cheap as possible and as silent as possible so I can forget about it. This program serves the purpose and the price is reasonable. However, if you want to configure it to a more complex level, it seem to be quite a pain and it also hurts the processing speed.

Summary: Bitdefender Internet Security works, but...
Comment: I looked forward to trying Bitdefender Internet Security 2010 as it was a product that seemed to have a number of decent features. But let's get right to the point: there are better products on the market today worth considering. And with such products as the latest AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition, to name one, it's hard to recommend this one from Bitdefender, unless you're new to computing and just want an easy-to-install product.
I initially installed this product on two computers, an HP Presario notebook running Windows Vista, and on a Sony VAIO running Windows XP Professional. Both computers had all available software updates and Service Packs installed. There were no problems with the installation on either computer other than a number of mildly annoying little pop-ups and reboots, but if you've installed security and anti-virus applications before, then you are probably familiar with this happening.
Getting down to details...
Installation: For the most part, and other than the above noted minor annoyances, the setting up process was smooth, as should be expected with a contemporary package of this type.
Ease of Use: Bitdefender Internet Security 2010 was as good as any of the other "major" anti-virus and security packages on the market today. If you've been looking for an alternative to some of the other security products, then this operates as well as and in some cases even better than some of the higher prices packages.
Functionality/Protection: As one who has dealt with computer security and Internet protection for a number of years, this was the area that mean the most. In each case, the product handled any of the older viruses and isolated Trojan horses that I keep on CD for such testing. Also visited a number of older and newer familiar malware sites, and this Bitdefender application blocked each one.
Conclusion: Bitdefender offers a decent package for those who are looking for a reasonable computer security application at a fair price. The interface is good, as is the overall product, but there may be better choices worthy of consideration, such as the latest AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition (noted above), or Vipre AntiVirus + AntiSpyware, which which this reviewer found to be a superior product overall, and one that I reviewed here some months ago.
In any case, Bitdefender Internet Security 2010 is a reasonably good product and deserves a 4-star rating form this reviewer, but it's just not a stellar product. It would pay to look at all of the recent security offerings, both free and paid for before you make your final choice.

Summary: Good for someonw who doean't need to do detailed configuration
Comment: I installed this product on a Windows 7 Professional OS laptop. It has a nice interface but has one major flaw for a person with firewall techincal knowledge and that is that you cannot designate IP addresses that can pass through the firewall unless you have the product on the other machines and then the capability is limited. I have worked in the computer security field for over 30 years and for me this product is inadequate. That is not to say that it is a bad product. If you are n average user with no knowledge of IP addressing then this is a very nice product.

Summary: This one didn't work for me.
Comment: I was really hoping that this new product would be easy to use for a busy person like me. I just want a program that I can install and leave it alone. It was very easy to load on my laptop, and runs fine on the laptop. However, I have had big problems with the program on my desktop. I can't get the virus scan to update at all. When I sought tech support, their suggested fixes did not work. When I tried again, they still didn't work. Now I don't know what to do. They did email me back within 24 hours; however, their literature suggests I call or email, but there is no phone number listed. I was not able to correct the problem on my desktop. I guess I'll have to load a different program on my desktop. This one didn't work for me.
