Best antivirus in 2022
I been using this for 2 years and it has stopped over 21,000 incomming threats i have a business at home and this has protected me And my family and i havent had one issue with any device appleOr android and its absolute incredible it gives android phone security like apple meaning locking and wiping your phone from a distance remotely to even tracking which it which is amazing and u can ping your phone if it was stolen and the user who stoleIt would have no idea your tracking it which is amazing on top of that or can be used for a parent tracking a child or a woman tracking a jelous husband overall out standing product.The software overall is better then norton and other top leading virus protection services and yes it is based in russia but its paritally american owned and only operate in russia for user rights which are challenged in the united statesThe software dose give android and pc users more features but manily in the security area because that what they truly lack and because there also not apple which is monitored 24/7Overall the geolocation tracking for any device u install it is worth it in my opinion!!!it even takes photo and record audio with out the user knowing soo u can catch the person who stole it and absolute take themDown which is amazing so they cant say im holding it for a friend or i found itAnother great feature with this software they have hands down the best encryptions software i installed it on my girl friend mac pro and she had a issue and had to send it to apple support they called us asking us for the password to unlock the device because they had absolute no access to the device it self and couldnt even force it open which was impressive in my opinion so u know for a fact if u loose your device or exspensive computer u can turn it into a paper weight there absolute no way in hell anyone can download anything from those devices if its locked with this softwareAnother thing i love about this software is that when its running on the background it dosnt change my computer performance what so ever and not even on my iphone or android it dosnt DRAIN BATTERY not like other security apps i usedHands down best software for 2022And recommend by most ethical hackers and security engineers this the only way to stay protected online

BitDefender is top rated and minimally uses systems resources compared with others.
Been using this paid version of bitdefender for several months now on android, apple, and windows computers. It works fine even on some older Win 10 computers to prevent malware and viruses. Easy to install but it will disable the free versions of these if you have those on a phone or computer.You will get frequent notifications to install downloaded components if you don’t install all the products such as spam calling.

BITDEFENDER 2022 – KEEPING BITDEFENDER (DROPPING KASPERSKY)
I’VE DECIDED TO RETURN TO BITDEFENDER and DROP KASPERSKY (soon after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine). ** ROMANIA (BITDEFENDER) is our NATO ALLY ** Kaspersky is a threat and NOT allowed on government computers in the US, Europe, NATO etc — All things being equal, it’s not worth the risk of having a back door put in place by Russian Kaspersky (FYI the wife who co-ran the company is a big supporter of Putin and the invasion, let alone adding Mr Kaspersky to the list of heads of Russian companies falling off of balconies or being otherwise murdered for not cooperating with Russia).2026 January – AMAZON has NOT sent me the “ACTIVATION CODE” (that Bitdefender requires) so, I’m getting a Refund and Buying my Bitdefender Total Security from an online Computer Hardware Software company instead.2021 COMPARISON – MY INITIAL REVIEW (below)Before this check of current users, I had a basically favorable view of Bitdefender, since I had Bitdefender before Kaspersky. Unlike half of the Amazon users, I HAD NO PROBLEMS DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING OR TRANSFERRING TO MULTIPLE COMPUTERS. (I’m assuming those people made a mistake that they missed)BITDEFENDER FEATURES compared to my KASPERSKY, considering most technical reviewers have the two packages in a close tie for First place.I’m comparing this Bitdefender 2021 TOTAL SECURITY to my (Home User) Kaspersky 2021This BITDEFENDER TOTAL SECURITY is installed on my both of my computers, my Primary Desktop (self build windows – with several years of additional software installed) and my backup computer which is six months old and relatively clean of software: Lenovo Think Station SFF Half Tower Desktop (with 2 drives).Both companies have three packages: AntiVirus, Internet or Total (with the most features)Multiple Device Licenses cover Computer, Tablet, Phone, for both Windows and Apple.Both Bitdefender and Kaspersky have an online Dashboard at their website that lists your Devices by their Computer Name.BD (BITDEFENDER) also has a PDF User Guide that you can download. Kaspersky has an online User Guide.COMPARING THE PACKAGES PRO and CON* PRO * BITDEFENDER HAS ADDITIONAL FEATURES that Kaspersky does not have (NA for Kaspersky).* PRO BITDEFENDER ONLY * COMPUTER VULNERABILITY SCAN = (Kaspersky NA)BD has POTENTIAL VULNERABILITY SCAN AND FIX of your computer will fix any or all issues that you choose.Fixes include Security Network settings and Operating System Updates. Several suggested security settings were made for my newer computer and I went ahead and had BD make the changes for me. It also downloaded and (approve) installed two critical windows updates.* PRO BITDEFENDER ONLY * RESCUE ENVIRONMENT = (Kaspersky NA)BD When we detect sophisticated threats, like rootkits, we reboot the computer in Rescue Mode for clean-up and restoration to keep your system safe.* PRO BITDEFENDER ONLY * PROFILES to make system adjustments (Work,Movie,Game,Public Wi-Fi,Battery Mode) = (Kaspersky NA)* PRO * WI-FI SECURITY ADVISOR (Bitdefender is more User Friendly)* PRO * PUBLIC WI-FI PROFILE for additional security (Kaspersky also)* PRO * SAFE PAY BROWSER (Kaspersky also)This protected browser screen can be used for Banking, Credit Card, Financial, Taxes and Medical / Govt ID transactions. Most Antivirus or Firewall software also include their own Internet Browser.Personally, I NEVER use my PHONE for Bank, Cards or Financial.I already have a SEPARATE PASSWORD MANAGER and VPN PROVIDER for all of my computers and phone. Check the latest internet reviews of the computer technical websites for the last two years for this alternate software.* ALTERNATE * BETTER PASSWORD Manager (examples) Bitwarden, Keeper, LastPass, Roboform, Dashlane — Check the internet reviews for the BEST Password Managers. For me. it’s better to buy a better and separate Password Manager, so you’re not locked into an AntiVirus Internet package for life just for your old password list. THIS IS WHY I USE A SEPARATE PASSWORD MANAGER that is NOT part of my Antivirus Security package.PASSWORD MANAGER (Kaspersky also)Included, free Password Manager is limited to a small number of passwordsSEPARATE PURCHASE (BD and Kaspersky)If you’re sure you’re staying with Bitdefender for life, then go ahead and use their Password Manager, especially if you’re creating new, complex, strong (generated) passwords. The Import and export Bitdefender Wallet uses only the Bitdefender database format. Later on, you probably will NOT be able to transfer your Bitdefender Passwords to other Password Managers.* ALTERNATE * BETTER VPN (examples) Nord VPN, Express VPNVPN LIMITED DAILY MAXIMUM (Kaspersky also)SEPARATE PURCHASE OF REGULAR UNLIMITED VPN (BD and Kaspersky)Kaspersky Free Limited Daily VPN MAX OF 300 MB total (100 more than BD)BD’s Free Limited Daily VPN MAX OF 200 MB total runs out too fast.SEPARATE VPN PROVIDER with unlimited use is better for me, as I save download online pages as PDF as CYA proof of all transactions. Any Daily Limit VPN like this would be used up immediately.For PUBLIC WI-FI, I turn on my VPN for my phone or computer and VERIFY that the VPN IP address is now being used (like a Chicago or some other close location). Look for VPN website page “What is my IP Address?”* PRO * RANSOMWARE PROTECTION (Kaspersky also) is a recent addition the last few years.* PRO * RANSOMWARE PROTECTION (for both BUSINESS NETWORKS and HOME users) SEE TECHRADAR 2019 TEST ARTICLE = Bitdefender Ransomware Protection review* ALTERNATE * SETUP YOUR OWN COMPUTER BACKUP SYSTEM = DRIVE IMAGE BACKUP RESTORE (for HOME or BUSINESS users)– For my home Windows computer, I’m using PARAGON HARD DISK MANAGER ADVANCED (for HOME users)– From PARAGON-SOFTWARE_c_o_m (Paragon Technologie GmbH from Germany). It will make a disk image of your entire drive that is hardware independent and can be restored to any other hardware computer, as long as the receiving hard drive is large enough. This complete restore includes your operating system, data and all other software installed. You just need an extra internal hard drive that is large enough. PARAGON SOFTWARE is for both home and business users.* PRO * PARENTAL CONTROL (Kaspersky also)* PRO * PHONE APP (Kaspersky also)Bitdefender has some BAD reviews for their PHONE APP at Google Play Store for Android. Until now, I’ve been using Avast Free Antivirus just for my phone. Since my BD license for Total Security is 5 devices, I’m installing it on my phone.* CON * REMOTE LOCATE – ONLY WORKS IF THE LAPTOP OR COMPUTER IS WI-FI CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.If your computer is hard-wired to the internet or is using a VPN, the IP Address is WORTHLESS in locating your computer.Your computer’s IP address from your internet service provider is a temporary IP each time you logon. Your IP address is supplied from a pool of internet addresses for general public customers. The only permanent, fixed IP addresses are special paid for businesses.When I tested BD’s REMOTE LOCATE for my IP, it showed my hard-wired computer as FIVE MILES AWAY from my location … and when I turned on my computer’s VPN (to use the VPN’s IP instead) then BD said my computer was located 400 MILES AWAY in ANOTHER STATE.** FOR AMAZON PURCHASETURN OFF Bitdefender AUTO-RENEWAL BEFORE you enter YOUR NEW PURCHASED AMAZON activation codeBitdefender AUTO RENEWAL is at Bitdefender’s Price with your payment going to some Bitdefender Third Party website)Bitdefender SUPPORT HELP (search) Bitdefender SUBSCRIPTION AUTO-RENEWAL TURN ON OFFTURN OFF AUTO-RENEWAL (steps below)Go to BITDEFENDER CENTRAL WEBSITEGo to MY SUBSCRIPTIONS on the sidebar menuMY PAYMENTS / VIEW DETAILS button next to the subscriptionClick on MANAGE your subscription renewal options To stop the automatic renewalChoose CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION** RENEW BITDEFENDER at AMAZON’S PRICE(1) BUY BITDEFENDER SUBSCRIPTION on AMAZON = BITDEFENDER ACTIVATION CODE BY EMAIL(2) Go to AMAZON’S ORDER EMAIL = Your Amazon.com order of BitdefenderORDER DETAILS = Activation Code: XXXActivation Code: XXX is what you would KEYIN UPDATE on BITDEFENDER CENTRAL websiteHOW TO REDEEM THIS ITEM = This has all of the steps to follow at Bitdefender Central website(3) Go to BITDEFENDER CENTRAL WEBSITEMY SUBSCRIPTIONS / upper right part of the window = CLICK ACTIVATE WITH CODEIF THIS IS BEFORE the EXPIRATION of your current Bitdefender = Select EXTEND CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION_** FYI AFTER INSTALL **RIGHT CLICK on any file(s) or folder(s) shows Bitdefender actions for Scan (or) File ShredderDASHBOARD (TOP ROW) = AUTO PILOT Suggestions (Click to check further)_** CHANGES TO MAKE AFTER INSTALL **PROTECTION / RANSOMWARE REMEDIATION = TURN ONVPN = Don’t Turn On or Install if you ALREADY HAVE A SEPARATE ONE on your computer = PRIVACY / VPNPASSWORD MANAGER = Don’t Turn On or Install if you ALREADY HAVE A SEPARATE ONE on your computer = PRIVACY / PASSWORD MANAGERPASSWORD WALLET (for Password Manager) = Don’t install as Browser extension — if you are NOT using BD’s Password Manager and are already using another separate Password ManagerOPTIONAL = COMPLAINTS BY USERS for ANTI-TRACKER = Don’t install as Browser extension = PRIVACY / ANTI-TRACKER Turn OffOPTIONAL = SCHEDULE SCANS = PROTECTION / AntiVirus / Scans / Manage Scans = schedule WEEKLY Full Scan, etcUTILITIES = PROFILES DEFAULT = LEAVE TURNED OFFOPTIONAL = SETTINGS / GENERAL = SECURITY WIDGET = DEFAULT TURNED OFFOPTIONAL = SETTINGS / GENERAL = SPECIAL OFFER notifications MAY BE TURNED OFF or LEFT ONOPTIONAL = SETTINGS / GENERAL = RECOMMENDATION notifications = DEFAULT TURNED ON_** PERSONALLY FOR MYSELF **SKIP UTILITIES = ONE CLICK OPTIMIZER (SKIP IGNORE) = PERSONALLY, I WOULD NOT USE THE COMPUTER OPTIMIZERSKIP UTILITIES = PROFILES (TEST these out or LEAVE TURNED OFF)If you decide to not use Profiles, a default profile called Standard is enabled and it brings no optimization to your system.PROFILES for Bitdefender:Work, Movie, Game, Public Wi-Fi, Battery Mode_* FYI * SCAN DEFAULT ACTION = PROTECTION / AntiVirus / Advanced / Threat Actions = TAKE PROPER ACTIONWHERE Infected Files are Disinfected / then QuarantinedWHERE Suspicious files are QuarantinedWHERE Malicious files are Deleted** OR INSTEAD of Take Proper Action, you can select either Move to Quarantine (or) Deny Access_* FYI * PROTECTION / VULNERABILITY scan of your computerScanning your system for vulnerabilities requires an active internet connection.Operating System SecurityCritical Windows updatesWeak Windows accountsBrowser SecurityApplication updatesNetwork and CredentialsWi-Fi networks and routers_

Good Virus Software.
I have used Bitdefender for years. Best prices usually on Amazon vs buying from Bitdefender. Plus, this subscription covers up to 5 computers.
