Original Comment Bit Defender Internet Security has definitely taken a nose dive the past couple years. <br /> <br /> For the last month after their auto updates, I have not been able to use their virus scan, I get multiple errors sometimes having to pull the plug on my PC!!! My laptop (same OS) with BD auto updates turned off, has no such problem. Additionally, BD says real time protection is turned off, but fails when I try to turn it on. Tech support claims there may be a virus that got through, but they have made no effort to follow through on that claim. 3 level tech had me reinstall (uninstall in the safe mode with their dedicated uninstall program) but still same problem. Their response was that I must not have had Administrator privileges, which is bunk. No word for Tech support. I have been 4 weeks without performing a virus scan, or real protection.<br /> <br /> BD 2011 the email anti spam module would only occasionally load. I always had a 3-5 minute desktop lockup immediate after bootup. But upon their strong encouragement, I uninstalled and installed 203 which ran flawlessly - UNTIL I did the updates. Next boot, Desktop lockup of 25-35 minutes!!! Which they insisted was because of Windows updates. After multiple uninstalls and reinstalls as per their directions, we discovered that if I have updates turned off, there is no problem with either my pc or laptop (both running Windows XP. <br /> <br /> These problems occur, ONLY after enabling their updates!!! There updates are toxic, proven time and time again. They made me spend over 20 hours of multiple uninstalls and installs, yet after 6 months they still do not have any solution, and indeed don't even like to respond.<br /> <br /> Don't be fooled by the reviews on the internet, Bit Defender is a flawed program, ditch it, get another.
