Ratings and reviews

Coming back after a year with Malwarebytes. They've added a pervasive and useless notification that's impossible to get rid of (already contacted support). "We're looking out for your device and data." I don't need that always in my notifications. It seems up be nothing more than an ad for something I've already purchased. I really don't appreciate that kind of manipulation tactic. Fix this.

I use Bitdefender Mobile Security app and Bitdefender Total Security app on all of my phones and personal and business computers. I've used other apps previously, but this one keeps getting better every year. You can use the free version, but you'll be more secure with the Premium version, I assure you. It's not cheap but it's worth every dime for the peace of mind it brings. It also notifies you of security breaches of your emails if that occurs and what you should do about it!

So, the way I see it, Bitdefender's mobile AV is pretty decent, I think, at what they do, and it isn't as overly heavy on system resources as their Windows version(s). However, Mobile Security for Android is supposed to be part of the Windows Total Security package, yet Bitdefender allows about half of the time (or maybe a little less) for trial than it does for its Total Security package. So, well I'm still evaluating the windows version, I'll be switching to ESET for my mobile security.
