Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 Family Edition overview

Some system protection software will protect you against a few threats. Not Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 Family Edition; the Internet Security package handles the usual anti-spyware and anti-virus duties along with anti-phishing protection. But this package does so much more. It encrypts your IM conversations so you don't have to worry about private information leaking in casual conversation.

Gamer mode limits the amount of system resources that the software uses to maximize game play performance. Likewise the new laptop mode prolongs battery life while keeping protection levels high.

Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 Family Edition builds a firewall around your system to protect you from unseen threats that would turn control of your system over to malicious software installed without your knowledge. It will also protect your private data from attack. The WiFi monitor protects your wireless network by helping to prevent unauthorized access. In today's busy world you don't have time to do it all yourself, that's why you need BitDefender.

Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 Family Edition user reviews

    "Pros: Good Av scanning engine and game mode actually makes a huge difference when playing games.

Cons: Tech. support is either slow or non-existent.

Other Thoughts: Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 Family Edition is a good security suite, but would stay away from it due to slow support.

    "Pros: Program works great- Bitdefender 24/7 customer support seems to be non existing as is their email support.

Cons: Bitdefender customer support.

Other Thoughts: 2 days after I received Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 Family Edition Newegg dropped the price $14.00. Seems to me there should be some sort of a price match. Wont make this mistake again. Not a happy camper.

    "Pros: Have used BitDefender for many years now and found it to be the best in it's class. From the AntiVirus all the way to the Suite products. Have used this from Win2K to WinXP with very little problems. Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 Family Edition has been on the number 1 listing for AV Suites for over 3 years now for a very good reason. It does what it states it does, protect your system. It's now VB100 and ISCA certified, meaning it has gone through rigorious testing. The only other AV Suite I would consider is Kaspersky and I've tested way to many to count.

Cons: I've heard that BitDefender Corp has Tech Support issues, but I've never needed their help so I wouldn't know.

Other Thoughts: Understand this product is for those who really want protection, not just the thought of protection as others do. I've used BitDefender to scan other systems hard-drives that used Symantec, McAfee and other AV's and found that most had some infection. The worst being McAfee. All of those I scanned had the most recent versions of their apps with the most recent updates.

    "Pros: Here is a list of good things I found in BitDefender Internet Security:
* Installing and configuring BitDefender for the first time, was easy
* Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 Family Edition has Basic and Advanced view so it is suitable for advanced as well as for newbies. I personally use the advanced view because you have a better overview.
* BitDefender Internet Security stays very well in the background, I don't see any change in my system performance if I have or don't have it installed, which is a very good thing.
* BitDefender IS updates very frequently.
* I recently started to use the Encryption for IM feature for better security when I talk to my business associates, you never know who is listening, and that's why I find this feature very useful.
* You can configure, scan and update all your home or office PC's that have BitDefender installed from one single PC.
* Very good IM encryption (yahoo messenger, msn messenger)

Cons: I really don't see any weaknesses in this product, because it never caused trouble.

Other Thoughts: BitDefender is one of the best internet security softwares, it has a lot of features, it doesn't create problems, it protects very well (I also saw a lot of positive professional reviews that says that) and has a reasonable price for all that. So I highly recomend Bitdefender Internet Security
