It sounds comprehensive enough, but take a look at what rivals offer in their security suites and you’ll realise there’s no ID protection (now included with packages from Norton and McAfee among others), no cloud storage (a bonus with Norton 360) and the VPN and parental controls are very basic and not comparable with fully fledged products.Īs standard, you get 200MB of VPN data per day, which isn’t very convenient as you then lose that protection until the next day once you’ve hit that limit. There’s also a password manager, a VPN service, the Safepay browser for protecting online transactions (such as making payments), an anti-tracker utility to stop web tracking and various other things including a file shredder. What Total Security adds is features such as anti-spam, microphone and webcam protection, a firewall, parental controls, anti-theft and a useful OneClick Optimizer to declutter and speed up your PC. This is the same whichever Bitdefender product you buy. Windows protectionĪs you’d expect from modern security software, Bitdefender offers multiple layers of protection.Īt its core is a rock-solid antivirus component which has an enviable track record for its ability to detect and block all sorts of malware. Not just the VPN but also the mobile apps. Like many other security companies, the core malware protection is so good – regularly scoring 100% in independent tests – that it’s now focusing on other types of security.
This year the company has added a few useful features – particularly to its VPN – and keeps the same familiar interface which is easy to use.
Bitdefender has an excellent track record when it comes to detecting and blocking malware, and this remains its highlight.
