BitDefender - Anti Virus

Bit Defender 10 is a great "install and forget about it for a year antivirus product". At $29.95 this is one of the best antivirus values on the market today. Virus updates can be done manually or are preset for your convenience. You get to preset updates and scans to your convenience. Scans are fast and effective and easy drag and drop if you want to scan specific files … along with nice reporting after scanning.

BitDefender 10 comes with a lot of bells and whistles, some of which can be annoying but can easily be turned off. Various notifications via popups and email tell you that BitDefender has found a virus. I found it a little overkill but again, you can simply go into settings and turn those components off (last year we commented that you never knew the product was working, so this is a dramatic change in our opinion). The website isn't the greatest but is simple enough to get through the ordering process.
