Review by PatrikH

This is an ok product. I work with antivirus software as part of my job, and this product is firmly in the middle. As far the antivirus part goes, it does its job well. I was disappointed to see how often it wants the machine to be rebooted after an update to virus definitions though. Good software these days should only rarely require a reboot after an update. I do like how it has some different modes, like a gaming mode that cuts back the scanner’s footprint while you doing cpu intensive stuff. For instance when I am working in photoshop I have the bitdefender shift into this mode as I need as much cpu and memory as I can get.

The so called system optimization tools are really no better than other registry cleaners and defrag tool available out there. Often for free in most cases. They score higher because of their convience in being include in a suite of products.

In my opinion a firmly average product.
