Ratings and reviews

It's less pricey than Norton, with more protection power. Bitdefender has saved my PCs and network from being compromised. Yes I was getting frustrated that a connect wasn't being established.... that is until it was reported the person behind the connection turned out to be malicious. Then I was feeling okay about the "connection issue". Bitdefender, keeping me safe from even myself!

Unfortunately, I can't view any of my protected devices after signing into the app. What I have to do is clear the app data. Log in, and then I can see my protection status. If I close out of BitDefender Central and reopen, the screen just freezes. I love the concept of seeing all the devices on my phone. I just wish it would work any time I open the app. I am on Android version 13 and the device is a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. Update: The latest app version fixes all the issues. Rating updated.

Bitdefender is easily the best all-around internet security app I've ever had the pleasure of using. It's absolutely top tier. Don't even bother wasting your time with McAfee, AVG, Sophos, Norton or PCProtect. They don't even come close to being a good as Bitdefender. I've subscribed to the Total Security service & the additional Premium VPN service they offer. I have connected it to my phones & my laptop. Both my girlfriend & Mom use it too. We couldn't be happier with everything they offer.
