This product is, in my opinion, an excellent decision for anyone considering a newer/better protection that is top notch, easy to navigate and affordable. This is it folks, they offer the latest technology and yet very straight forward and easy to use!! Connections to the VPN are always within a few seconds and I have not lost a connection to one yet and I use a pretty basic tablet. But the same goes for all of the other computers and devices we have utilizing the same protection. A GREAT BUY!!!

Im happy with this app. Using 3weeks now. I think it does what it says. Fixing a virus. However i dont think it works on hacking. The kind you get from a bogus free ap. Where THEY can change things on your phone use your pictures etc. I know this because my phone is haked now and has been for a few months. But Bitdefender has not mentioned it at all. Nor was it fixed. So a hacked phone will not get any help from this app.I guess its good only for viruses which we do need this protection from.

Been using Bitdefender for a few years now. This was the only app that alerted me to an virus that made it into my phone. At the time I was not able to fix the damage that the virus was doing and by the time I got back home the damage was extensive enough that I ended up getting a new phone. It would have been great for Bitdefender to have at least isolated the infected files but like I said, it was the only app that alerted me and I ended up turning my phone off until I got back home.
