Based on the reviews/rankings of antivirus software at sites such as toptenreviews.com, etc, I bought, downloaded, and installed Antivirus 2009, replacing McAfee antivirus.
No matter which antivirus scan I try to run (Deep, Full, My Documents), it always hangs while scanning a file (i.e. the little dots keep circling) for 20+ minutes and finally the whole system freezes. At that point, I can’t even, for example, start Task Manager. I have to do a hard shutdown.
Assuming the possibility that there is, indeed, something wrong with a given file on my system, I wouldn’t expect a viable antivirus program to simply hang on it until the system freezes. I bought BitDefender to be an improvement over McAfee!
So now I’m the proud owner of an antivirus program that won’t let me scan for viruses.
If you want to get a real feel for typical experience with this product, visit the forums on BitDefender’s own web site.

I have had Bit Defender Anti-Virus for three years. When I upgraded to version 10, the real time shield wouldn’t always load so I would be on the Internet unprotected until I realized the icon wasn’t in the system tray. Bit Defender support didn’t have a fix for that. Earlier this year, I got a really annoying malware that Bit Defender not only did not detect but couldn’t clear up. It slowed down my computer and kept making an irritating ticking noise. After two days of silence from the BD support team, I found a free anti-malware program on the Web that cleared it up in five minutes. I renewed it again for 2009 because I was too busy to evaluate other virus programs and felt I needed something. Other than the two previous mentioned problems, the software seemed to work ok. So now I downloaded the 2009 version and went to install it. Normally any upgrade will tell you that an older version was detected and it should be uninstalled or the upgrade offers to remove it. Nothing. I executed the install and without any messages it deleted three quarters of the old install but did not install the new version. But it gave me a message saying to restart to complete installation and when I booted up-no antivirus! I had to manually delete the old directory and re-initiate the installation.
I have a low threshold for poorly written software and this one is really really stupid! The BD support is lacking and good luck calling in. Next year I won’t be so lazy; I’ll do my homework and find a professional AV software.

I used the Bitdefender V10 for two years and it was excellent. I just installed the 2009 Antivirus and despite myriad attempts to schedule a daily system scan according to the directives of the Bitdefender help team, the software refuses to run a daily scan at any hour. The V10 did so flawlessly. Looks like it’s manual scans for me. I do NOT recommend the Bitdefender 2009 Antivirus software at all, and will definitely NOT continue to use their products.

You will have to hunt to find the Live Chat option on their site, and then be prepared for little help–perhaps a reference to a document, which, if you don’t write it down quickly, you will lose when the tech cuts you off. That was my experience. I then tried phone help, and gave up after a 30-minute wait. It turns out that my problem (the bdrsdrv.sys file) is a common one, and leads to the famous blue screen. I removed the program (v. 10) this morning and installed a very-highly rated freebie: Avast. Based on reviews, I am sure that if you are lucky, the Bit Defender program may work fine, but if you have a problem, particularly one that results in your computer freezing with the blue screen, good luck. Many have complained about Bit Defender’s support, but they obviously have not been listening.

I’ve been a BitDefender customer for several years. I recently bought and installed this product and it ran fine on two of my PCs. On the other PC, antivirus scans hang up (forever) on a certain directory. Searches with Google indicate many others have this problem. BitDefender customer support insisted the problem was due to two other programs I have on the PC. I removed them per their request and still have the problem. They never responded to me after that. If you’re one who doesn’t have a problem, you’ll like the software. If you have a problem, it’s a throw-away. I’ve since installed a competitive product on the system and it has no problems with scans. There were other minor Bitdefender drawbacks that I learned to live with, but this one was a showstopper.
