I have been using this for a week now and so far I am not the least bit impressed.

1. I have done a full scan on my computer 3 times now and yet every time I restart my computer it tells me I have a security issue and that my computer has not had a full scan in a week.

2. I put the settings on gamer mode for my husband’s computer. Gamer mode does not turn on and off with the click of a button like it is supposed to. I have to go in and change all the settings around each time. VERY inconvenient and time consuming.

3. I receive critical error messages DAILY where bitdefender wants me to send in copies of my log files so they can investigate the problems.

4. I also keep receiving a message that tells me bitdefender needs to be updated. The update fails every time.

5. I have been having issues with some programs like Corel studios ever since I installed this. Could be a coincidence I guess but considering all the other problems I have been having with bitdefender I wonder….

The only positive things I have seen for this software are the anti-spam buttons integrated into my outlook express and the fact that the scan is quicker than I am used to. At least it would be quicker if I didn’t have to do it repeatedly!nnI am going to tinker with it for another week (maybe) and then go back to Norton or try out Vipre which seems to be working really well on our kids computer.

Note: just for reference purposes. I have a mid-grade Dell computer approx 1 year old running XP.

Update: after 3 weeks of use I had to remove it from both computers. If I was not reviewing the product I never would’ve kept it on even that long. It would not update properly, caused errors in several programs and slowed down the computers considerably.
