Thus, the only people that can make use of the free version are the ones that use their PC for social networking and/or gaming exclusively! (I’d say, mostly for computer illiterate pensioners). I assume this is a paid “review” (advertisement), since you don’t mention any of the massive drawbacks the free version comes with (massive to me, at least).īecause the sole purpose of the free edition is to advertise the paid products, it has been designed to be VERY intrusive.

Do you need the extra functionality that Antivirus Plus or the more expensive Bitdefender products offer?
