Bitdfender Antivirus Full Bitdefender Antivirus

Here we bring you our full Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac review.

At time of writing, it can be had for 29.99USD34.99 for the first year, but the standard cost is 39.9959.99 for subsequent years.

There are lower per-year costs if you commit to a two- or three-year subscription.).

This is clearly because Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac knows which files havent changed.

So, its only that inaugural scan following installation that youre likely to be waiting around.

Turned off by default, this protects your Desktop, Documents, Downloads and Pictures folders so that no unauthorised app can delete or change files there.

You can add any additional folder of your choice to the list.

Already on the whitelist are apps like Microsoft Word, or Google Chrome, and indeed all apps from most reputable vendors.

However, if any non-whitelisted app tries to write to the folders, youll see a pop-up warning you asking if you want to authorise it.

This is a cutdown version of Bitdefender Premium VPN, which costs 2.553.33 per month.

The main limitations are that you cant choose which country you connect to (that is, UK users will always use a UK end point), and youre limited to a measly 200MB of data per day, per device.

Still, this might be useful for a little light browsing if youre connecting to untrusted Wi-Fi in a caf or hotel.

You might as well because Bitdefenders VPN app doesnt offer any other features typically found in VPN apps, such as a kill switch that quits certain apps if the connection is lost.

It also shows which trackers are in use but, weirdly, appears not to actually block them.

People use an app like Bitdefender to get rid of adware, yet it comes with its own built-in We quizzed Bitdefender about this and were told that t he notifications are closely connected with the type of subscription that the user has, and can offer details about discounts near the time of renewal and means you can get a better price than the one advertised on the website.

You can, of course, turn off these offers if you dont want to see them.

Its also used to see how many devices are being protected if you have a Bitdefender Box 2.

Alas, you cant initiate scans remotely, but there is a powerful parental control feature which is outside the scope of this review.
