Pros:
1.Did not fail the shields up test!
2.Updates twice a day.
3.Stops EVERTHING dead before it starts and alerts you.
4.Can be run on any machine 300 or above.
5. Have tried them all and Bitdefender is the very best available period.
Nothing can touch it.
From what I read Microsoft is aware of this companies
superior expertise and has been in contact with Softwin.
6.I will put this software up against any product on the market period. It is
the VERY BEST!
Cons: No cons at this time. The best available period. Its
runs perfect on my Compaq Pentium II 300 with MMX.
excellent product- only Panda 2006 gets closer.

Pros: excellent protection, hourly updated signatures, super
support for any problem (including unknown viruses
sent to their lab and in 24
hours they've produced the antidote).Used Norton, McAfee, but this one remains
the best.
Cons: It's not a con really, just that the firewall needs a
bit of attention in settings and it'll work smoothly.
The Absolute
Best Antivirus Available.

Pros:
Finds EVERYTHING. Works everytime, without
fail. Good support, easy to use, excellent
interface. I work as a computer tech - this
is the absolute best available.
Cons:
One thing - it's slow. If you want a
'working' product that doesn't fail you,
this is the tradeoff.
Excellent product. Highly reliable

Pros: I have not used the trial version provided from
download.com but I've cracked it and I'm using the full version instead. Hence,
I cannot comment on the trial version. I find the full version to be excellent.
It blocks intrusion the minute they come and the user has predefined options on
how to treat these intrusions. I've checked the programme with several sites
known for loading your machine with adware and trojans and bitdefender seems to
have allocated and blocked all of them. The hard-disk (system) scan revealed
trojans which other engines failed to locate.
In case you want to compare it with a worthy alternative, I recommend Mcaffee
version 8.0.
Cons: BEWARE! Do not install this software whilst having
other antivirus software installed on your machine. It will kill your system
resources and it will make your machine work dead slow. It appears to have a
particular dislike for any Panda software.
The firewall provided is somewhat simplistic but is of average quality.
Definately not compared with the likes of Zonealarm Pro though.
best of the bunch (faster, more effective and
cheaper)

Pros: i have tested alot of antiviruses, norton, etrust, avg
grisoft are few to mention and this one is unique (check on virus.gr they do a
very intensive test)it can actually find a virus in a compressed file (even in a
double compressed file and it can deleted the virus from inside a double
compressed file!), something etrust and avg have failed on miserably(they detect
the file but can do absolutly nothing about, no choice what so ever to delete or
anything) , from the setting menu it gives you the choice of what do want to do
with a virus when detected and this can always be changed to personal preference
(heal,lock,quarantine), unlike other av it works silently on the background
scaning without interfering with your work, updates are every 1 hour! unlike
some other av which update every week?! we all know it doesnt take alot to
spread a virus around the globe and anything less than daily updates is
unacceptable, this update feature can be set to automatic and it will do it for
you with no hassle, unlike other av it protects the registry (something usually
antispyware is expected to do these days)so its a brillian complement to the
antispyware you have. all this for just under £20 (for the antivirus
standalone, please read below)! and your renewal is half price for the second
year(if you buy as a download)! and as a download you get the choice of buying
up to 3 years of protection at an excellent value, what more can you ask for? so
goodbye norton, slow computer, rip off yearly renwals, my computer has actually
started to load quickly for a change!
Cons: not alot, i am not sure of the (internet security)
package though, the firewall is not as good as zone alarm free version (lets
face it who is anyway? try the leak test if you think kerio, sygate or norton
actually work! you will be surprised) i personally recomend the antivirus stand
alone because its an exceptional product while the antispyware and firewall are
so and so, you can always get zone alarm free!
