 I don't usually write reviews but I'm so pleased, 2007-04-03
I have used many brands of security software. For years I had Norton IS. It was expensive and intrusive to productivity, but it let me protect both my computers for a year each and only stopped the virus updates when the license ran out. Last year they got greedy. They didn't honor a $65 rebate because it was late in the mail (I bought another product as well as an upgrade). Then the latest version started shutting down the protection entirely for all computers after the first computer reached one year. I decided to look around.
A friend recommended System Mechanic Pro, which had Kaspersky security. What a pig that one was! It was constantly popping up in the middle of my work to ask me what it should do. It wouldn't let me boot the computer without running a long Diskcheck -- right when I was in a hurry to get the computer up and finish some work by a deadline. The interface was complicated. My friend said it had SPAM protection, but I never could find it on the program. I said this won't do.
Enter Bitdefender, which sounded good after I read several reviews. I liked the fair price for protecting two computers for 2 years (and they had a nice rebate that reduced it further). I've now been using it several weeks and have found it to be simple to use, not time-consuming and non-interruptive. It does virus scans at 2 in the AM, but even when I've been up to work at 4am (yes, it sometimes happens) it doesn't stop me from working while it's running.
Putting "friends" on the ANTISPAM list is much simpler & faster than Norton. However what really thrills me is that it somehow has gotten rid of a nasty problem that I had during the use of both previous products: Someone was using my domain to PHISH and I was having 30-50 of them returned to me daily. I had set the Netscape filters to weed them out, but it was still annoying. Since installing Bitdefender I have not received one of these returned PHISH letters. It appears that the PHISHING was happening because my computer had become a conduit for a hacker. Neither of the previous products caught this, despite their constant thrashing about on my hard drive and popping up windows.
This product runs quietly in the background, only popping up occasionally to ask if it should allow a new program to contact the web. Once I've approved the contact, I hear no more about it.
Highly recommended.

 Resource Hog, 2007-03-14
I have a good system running Vista with a 3g processor and 1g ram. When I installed Bitdefender(the Vista compatible version) my system slowed to a crawl. Windows mail (Vista version of Outlook Express) would open but not run. Web pages would take over 5 minutes to load, if at all. Total resource hog.

Excellent Antivirus, 2007-03-13
I have been testing this antivirus during two months and i definitely recommend it. Sometimes i have had some problems with my network connection after the antivirus is updated, but i disconnect and connect the network card and the problem is fixed.
