Ratings and reviews

It has become futile to even have this software. I have it to cover three machines, and I have done so for a few years now. I've tried to jump through the various hoops it takes to keep it from turning off, but almost every time I check, web protection is again... turned off. So I'm paying for protection that keeps turning off.

Just installed bc I'm worried about a link I hit, and the thing that I wanted it for most right now... web security, keeps IMMEDIATELY turning itself off. I have removed every limitation possible for the battery and permissions, but for naught. Tech support was very nice but couldn't resolve and is going to have somebody get back to me. So far, obviously not the greatest experience, as I have no peace of mind using my one year old phone atm.

I am a fan of the Bitdefender products. I use the Total Antivirus for personal and professional devices and recommend it to customers. This product fits the bill of what I was looking for. I do not use their VPN and have gone with NordVPN for that. Never been a fan of one-stop-shopping for security applications and services. Nothing to do with their service.

What's new

An industry first!
- App Anomaly Detection is an extra layer of security that will alert you in case any app displays malicious behavior.
- Download scanner will make sure that your downloaded files are virus-free.
Find them both in the redesigned Malware Scanner once you update the app.
