    Some not so great reviews from users online, can anyone recommend/help me pull the trigger? Seen issues with the software being bloated and using too much memory on pc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 29,739 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    I used it for about a year and while it's good, it does seem to get more bloated which each release :( I also had some issues with the firewall blocking things I didn't want blocked.

    Kaspersky is the main alternative I think (both get consistently high scores in the detection ratings) but I find the consumer versions of these things are either full of stuff you don't want, or don't give the control that the business version does.

    As an install and forget it "average user" product though, bitdefender or kaspersky will easily do the job

    2019 version is out and it works with the subscription. Just go to the Bitdefender Central and download the new version.

    I can't get the code to work, can someone type it out again for me.


    Or maybe I've made a mistake, or the code has ran out.

    So this is running out for people who signed up this time last year. It's asking me for $90 to renew.

    Any way of getting this at better value?

    You should have stacked renewals :)

    Did you have to create a new account to "renew"?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,863 ✭✭✭dmc17

    No, it links to your existing account and adds 365 days to your remaining subscription time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,797 ✭✭✭sweetie


    I turned off auto renewal and it said if I turned it back on it would guarantee the same price next year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,001 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    My renewal isnt until Oct, would it stack onto that and give me until oct 2020 ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,001 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    Around 20 euro here.

    Is this a renewal or new account ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,528 ✭✭✭machalla


    Yes, if you sign up for it you get a code which you can to an existing subscription. I added an additional year with this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭Pyro Boy


    If you click the link below and remove "Bitdefender Virus & Spyware Removal (1 intervention)" you can get Bitdefender Total Security 2020 for €23.32. Works for an existing sub, it just stacks.
