Bitdefender: top detection with a minimal footprint

Bitdefender consistently ranks at the top of independent test labs such as AV-TEST and AV-Comparatives, both for threat detection and for system speed. Its engine works largely in the cloud, so your computer stays responsive even while scanning.

Which edition to choose

• Antivirus Plus: core protection for Windows against viruses, ransomware and suspicious websites. A separate Antivirus for Mac edition is also available.
• Internet Security: for Windows, adding a firewall, parental controls, webcam and microphone protection, and a secure browser for online banking.
• Total Security: the complete suite for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS with one key, for 5 or 10 devices. It includes optimisation tools and anti-theft protection for laptops and phones.
• Family Pack: Total Security protection for up to 15 devices, for larger households.
• Mobile Security: for one Android phone or tablet.
• Premium VPN: unlimited traffic on unlimited devices, for safe connections on public Wi-Fi.
• Small Office Security: centrally managed protection for 5 computers, for small offices.

Who it suits

If you want protection that needs no tweaking, Bitdefender is one of the safest choices. Autopilot makes decisions on its own, while game and movie modes silence notifications when you do not want to be disturbed. For a single PC, Antivirus Plus or Internet Security is enough. For a home with PCs, Macs and phones, Total Security costs less than separate licenses.

Delivery and activation

After payment you receive the key by email. Create a free Bitdefender Central account, enter the code and install the app on each device from there. If you already have an active subscription, the new code adds its duration to the current one.
