I am not going to say told you so. I posted on this forum saying why I had uinstalled Bitdefender 2010 and my reasons for doing so. And what did bidefender do banned me from the forum for one month.
I installed bitdefender in Jan 10 and within two days removed it and claimed my refund which Bitdefender processed as promised.
The post which they banned me for was recommending people to get rid of this software as in my opinion it was doing the same damage a virus or malware would do. I did leave 2010 running on a old XP machine and by early March I could see how substandard this Total internet security 2010 was.
I decided to purchase due to good reviews what a joke they are. Then finally the update which destroyed more machine more successfully than any virus. So I am glad to be rid of this software I have removed every trace of it on all our machines.
I can't repeat my previous post as they will likely ban me again but it surprises me how you guys hang in there. 2008 2009 might have been great software, as i said in my previous post seriously think about Total security 2010 and cut your losses, chalk it up as a learning experience.
If you are staying with this software backup everything and make sure to have your recovery discs etc you will need them. I hope this helps, its not sour grapes as Bitdefender did refund me as promised in the first 3 days which was impressive.
