SUPERAntiSpyware Professional Edition 4.50 2-user License Lifetime Subscription Review

Average Reviews:

SUPERAntispyware often plays second fiddle to Malwarebytes Antimalware in the malware removal community. In my personal experience working on computers, I find that SUPERAntispyware is aggressive enough to stand on it's own two feet in the realm of removing some of the nastiest stuff out there. The lifetime license is really just the icing on the cake. I personally would opt to turn off the real time protection as it's not as effective detecting malware before it installs but rather removing it once installed. Keeping on the automatic updates and scheduled scanning should be enough to keep your computer clean from some of the serious nasties out there. Make sure to couple this with your existing Anti virus software for optimal protection.

Symantec AntiVirus 2004 Professional Edition Review

Symantec AntiVirus 2004 Professional Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using Norton Antivirus for several years. It's been pretty solid, maybe a bit slow. I thought an upgrade to the latest version would be routine. How wrong I was! The product activation has a bug on Windows XP Professional that makes it "forget" that it's been activated. And after you activate a few times, it locks out your product key leaving your computer completely unprotected. The Symantec knowledge base acknowledges the problem but cheerfully tells you they don't know how to fix it. Testing? What testing? I think it's time to get my money back and buy a product that actually works.

BitDefender Internet Security 2011 Value Edition - 3 PC/2 year Review

BitDefender Internet Security 2011 Value Edition - 3 PC/2 year
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
So here's the deal. I've been using computers since the TI-994a (actually had one called a Timex Sinclair before that)and have been "online" since the Prodigy days and 300 baud modems. So I've been around the block when it comes to computers, internet and security software. I know how to install, uninstall and tweak my way through most issues without having to contact support...until this security suite.
I was previously using Norton 2011 and when this came up on Vine, I'm always looking to try new security suites. I fully removed Norton and during the BitDefender installation, it confirmed that no other security software is installed that would conflict with it (nice feature).I'm running a Windows 7 64bit Toshiba laptop with 3 GB memory and pentium processor so this shouldn't be a problem I thought. The installation went fine and I did a full system scan (took upwards of 6 hours), the product updated, requested a reboot and I thought we were off...
Unfortunately, although it initially recognized registration key, it appears to have lost that or not worked correctly. I can't get the services to start and I'm supposed to contact BitDefender support directly from within the program...well that's great IF the program will run. So off to the website, go through my account I was required to establish with BitDefender and have already left a tech support ticket within 12 hours of installation. I can't say as though I've ever had to do that.
I'm keeping my review 'neutral" at 3 until I hear back from support and determine if this is fixable. I'll keep you updated on any resolution they find.
**UPDATE** 9/22/10
Support contacted me within 36 hours asking me manually run a support tool that was to capture information and then I was to send the file off to them. I did all of that and while I've been waiting, I uninstalled and reinstalled. This time all went as before, but it took my account information for good. Maybe it was something you need to do first, actually create your account online, then install...not sure but it has worked fine since the reinstall. It's doing a full system scan which it estimates will be done in 2 hours +
**UPDATE** 9/29/10
So I thought I would take advantage of the additional licenses and install on my laptop upstairs and then use the "network" feature. This feature allows you to create the server and client pc and run all updates, scans etc from the server to the client. Sounds nice doesn't it. So, I installed the product upstairs, rebooted and went to my server laptop to begin. I enabled the network with a password (the client also has a password) and if you choose the same password for both, the server pc is "supposed" to recognize it and add it automatically...didn't happen. So I thought I would add it manually. It shows up in the network space, has the pc icon with the bitdefender icon on top of that which lets you know this computer can be added. Click on it and select and..."Can't add computer as it is not running BitDefender or can't be added"...Really?? Even after your program is telling me it sees that it is running BitDefender? So off to technical support again. I have to give them props as I have gotten very timely responses. This go around however, the list of items they wanted me to do (including stopping certain services within the product) just wasn't worth the effort. Shouldn't antivirus/network control truly be set it and forget it? My Norton 2011 was that way, and I've had to fiddle way too much with this program already.
All in all, I've been disappointed in the product and happy with tech response time. Not many people are willing to go through support ticket after support ticket just to get their virus protection working.
UPDATE 10/1/10
Well, I've gone back to Norton. Too many issues with BitDefender even with a 2 year license key. Particularly annoying was the fact that my pc kept registering problems with security (bitdefender out of date and antivirus scans) I just wasn't going to put up with it anymore.

Bitdefender Total Security 2012 Standard M2 3Pc/1 Year Review

Bitdefender Total Security 2012 Standard M2 3Pc/1 Year
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Purchased Bit Defender Total Security 2012.
It began causing random freezes and crashes on my computer. I was sent on a military assignment that took me past the 30 day return period. When I called tech support they informed me that that was too bad, and they could "try" to help me fix the problem. They didn't. Now in the process of escalating my complaint to a manager, while being informed that I will receive the same level of "service" from the manager and be denied.
Haven't received a call back, but this AV (while pretty secure), causes LOTS of computer issues. I build custom, high end computers and mine has never crashed before installing this AV. Now it's crashed 3 times in a week. It slows down all your browsing to a crawl, and has services that still run after being disabled from it's menu.
Get something else.

BitDefender Total Security 2011 Value Edition - 3 PC/2 year Review

BitDefender Total Security 2011 Value Edition - 3 PC/2 year
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had heard great things about bitdefender from my parents, who have it on their computer and have had no major issues with it, so I decided to give it a try. This was the worst decision I've ever made when it comes to anti virus software. I have had Norton, Mcafee, PC Security Shield, and Kaspersky. All of which have been pretty friendly to my pc. Bitdefender was not so kind.
I started off by trying to install it onto my computer (run on Windows xp-32 bit). Once it scanned and I got things going it suggested that I remove all my other antivirus software, ok. I proceeded to hit next to allow it to remove the software for me and all of the sudden error messages began popping up. It kept saying things like bitdefender has encountered an error and must close, you must restart your computer. I restarted only to come to a blue error screen saying my computer has shut down to prevent further damage. I restarted and hit f8 to run in safe mode, did a system restore, and tried again. Same result.
So I gave up on my computer and went to my wife's laptop with Vista. Same error messages same prompts to restart etc. Once I finally got her computer to accept the software I restarted and now faced the problem of NOTHING working. Her entire computer froze, nothing would open or do anything. I even had a hard time getting the task manager to open. So by this time I'm already frustrated and I give up on her pc and go back to mine. I did another system restore and left my computer run without protection.
I hadn't completed the full registration of my product so I had to contact customer service via email. It took them 4 days to get back to me with my problem only to instruct me to do a system dump of my information so they could analyze it. I did what they asked and waited another 4-5 days. Another email. I followed the instructions exactly in the email and encountered the same exact issues, I just took different steps to get there.
I decided to give it one more chance. I went through with the complete registration and confirmed through my email, so I could at least earn the privelage of contacting them by phone!! This wasn't much better. All 3 times I called I spoke with someone I could barely understand and had to ask "what?" several times. I followed through with everything they told me to do in the first phone call.....computer crash. So I call back again....crash. So I call back again, they tell me to do the same things again, like I didn't hear them the first time, and treat me like I'm computer illiterate.
Finally I decided to just try things on my own again using the files they had given me to download and install. I tried one more time to install the product and ignored all the error messages and the computer prompts to restart my computer. I completed the installation and ran all the clean ups through bit defender, got everything turned on and updated, and then I closed out of everything and restarted my computer manually. SUCCESS!! So far so good, I have restarted 5 times successfully and have not had any major issues.
THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. I've read reviews online about how awesome BitDefender's customer service is. I beg to differ. I should have stuck with Kaspersky. I now have a 3 PC package that cost me almost 70 dollars that I barely got to work on one Computer. I'm not even going to try to go through this again on my wife's laptop.
I hope this helps anyone considering buying this product. I would definitely not reccommend.

Panda Internet Security 2010 3 User Review

Panda Internet Security 2010 3 User
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There is no better security system for home or business computers. It has the highest level of protection available.
I have compared it to Norton, Mc Afee, and others, it blows them all away. It does not slow down the operating system like other products do. Although it may be challenging to install in some systems, it's still the best choice by far, and on Amazon I get the best price.
This Internet security is ideal for windows XP systems, and will have an easy time installing in most cases.
Installing this in Vista or Windows 7 will require some patience. These two operating systems make it difficult to install almost any software or drivers, not just Panda Security. The firewall and windows defender should be shut off while installing this, otherwise it may not install correctly.
But you should not blame Panda for these difficulties, these are operating system issues, not Panda issues.
Panda did move tech support to an outsource, and this was a big mistake. They should have kept the customer support in the USA. I am rather disappointed that they outsourced tech support.
But still, the highest protection for the lowest price on Amazon adds up to a great deal, too good a deal to ignore... I install it in all my friends computers, and they love it. I ordered two sets for the coming year.

ZoneAlarm PRO 2006 Review

ZoneAlarm PRO 2006
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using the "free" version of this software for years. It has become a critical component for all of the systems I work on. The Pro version offers a little more functionality and features than the "free" version. It works beautifully in protecting your system. I would not recommend using a computer on the Internet without it.
The updated features for the Pro version are: Spyware protection and E-Mail protection. It also monitors your installed Virus Protection to make sure its up to date. Another nice feature is that it has Identity Data Protection, which will protect your sensative information like credit card numbers.
If you are unsure whether or not you need this program, check out their website and try the "free" version. The free version does not have any special "extras", but will help to demonstrate why its such a valuable program to have on your system. Purchasing the Pro version will unlock all of the features mentioned above. Keep your system safe!

Panda started out fine. It found 5 viruses, unfortunately it couldn't do anything with them. It then asked me if I wanted to continue or finish, continue I said. Panda went and found those same 5 viruses it couldn't do anything with. Would I like to save this report it asked? You bet, just insert a floppy disk it said. This is Panda Pro 2009 asking for a floppy disk. Well I bet when I re-boot we can do some good. Lost that bet, my computer won't even start now. No problem, I remember reading about their great tech support. This is from the description on this page "Tech Support 24 hours a day 365 days a year Panda Security is a pioneer in offering round-the-clock customer services. Whenever you need it, PandaLabs and the tech support experts will provide a rapid response via email or the Internet. Enjoy the benefits of having a team of experts at your disposal." Well it sounds real good, unfortunately after explaining in great detail what had happened in an email I got nothing, not even an auto-reply. I spent money, wasted a bunch of time and Panda rendered my computer completely useless. It seems to have worked for a lot of people, I wish it had worked for me.

First of all anti-virus software always slows your computer down. I don't know why people write reviews commenting out that. What is important is how much does this software slow you computer down in comparison to Norton or symantec or whatever you are using. I have found this program superior in all respects of performance it does not slow you computer down as much as other anti-virus software and in my opinion the updates are faster and the protection better than Norton with out a bunch of stuff you don't want/need. The only thing is you have to buy the program from amazon every year. The renew activation codes you download through the Kaspersky website seem to not work too well. Bottom line this is best anti-virus program.
