Very good product and excellent customer support.

I may say that the experience with Bitdefender customer team is one of the best experiences I had with a customer service team:
- they keep me constant informed about my request
- they guide me very professional to solve the issue
- the way the communicate was nice and friendly

Very good product and excellent customer support.

Passive protection with little performance penalty

BitDefender passively protects the PC, without a severe impact on the system, whilst also providing options for different degrees of manual system scanning.

On the date, BitDefender found 2 viruses from a file I downloaded from the internet, it quarantined them, and even had a shredding utility to get rid of them easily & for good :)

Customer Support very poor.

Customer Support very poor.
After being blocked from browsing on my pc,
tried to contact their customer support by phone but got number not recognised on the two contact numbers listed on their website then tried contacting them by email but was blocked from sending by captcha errors-so only contact option was via on-line chat where I requested (several times) a call-back from customer support which has never been returned.
I then uninstalled their products (Premium internet security and VPN) from all my devices and all my problems disappeared.
I will not be re-installing their products (or dealing with this company again) - despite the fact that there is outstanding time on my contract and I am loosing money.

I have been a customer for nearly 10…

I have been a customer for nearly 10 years, but no longer. They have hiked the price on auto renewal hoping that I was stupid enough to not notice. After querying they said that this is now normal practice for them. I, of course, queried this and their offer to keep my custom was pitiful and way higher than the competition. Beware that if you manage to get a good deal as a new customer that your renewal may see a huge price hike.

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear about your recent experience with the auto renewal options and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.

Regarding the price difference, each Bitdefender product has a standard list price. Discounts may apply depending on promotions or sales channels, but the base price remains the same. Online or partner offers are usually temporary and may have specific terms, which is why they cannot always be matched.

Auto renewal is enabled by default to help ensure continuous protection and is a common practice in the antivirus industry. You can disable auto-renewal at any time through Bitdefender Central, the payment provider’s website (via renewal notification emails), or by contacting our support team.

We aim to be fully transparent by providing clear information during purchase and sending multiple reminder emails before renewal. If auto-renewal is not turned off before the renewal date, the subscription will renew automatically.

You can view and manage your subscription and renewal settings here:

If you need assistance, our support team is ready to help. Reach us by email at bitsy@bitdefender.com, or via phone or live chat: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/help/.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. Prompt responses and refunds when needed. If there's a price difference from what's listed online, they always offer the best price. An excellent system for monitoring online threats and protecting users during online banking transactions. (Transcription from French to English using DeepL)
