Clean GUI and I am shocked with the Indian price. Will have to buy it.thanks for the review.
Nice review. i hope they have fixed the problem of Bit defender crashing sometimes randomly.
how did you found it in terms of performance ?
I learned a lot from reading your review. The screen shots help a ton! Thanks! One thing BitDefender will not do though is protect a computer from human error. Social engineering is becoming incredibly sophisticated. I work for a company that has developed an online Internet Security Awareness training program for the purpose of educating the people he labels as “phish-prone”.
