I decided to try BD after some reviews I read online. Apparently it had the best scanning with the fewest false-positives. Unfortunately, the reviews did not mention how horrible the company/product truly was.
At first, it seemed great, but that was until the pop-ups. I mean, 1/4 of my screen would be covered with pop-ups I could not opt-out of. WOW! I started going through the program bit-by-bit and noticed how many features I have come to grown and love, from 'good' scanning programs like Avast and Eset, were simply not there. Nothing was in my control. Almost seemed like the whole program was on auto-mode with no way to change it.
To adjust the firewall, it seemed the easiest thing to do was turn off the firewall. Same with the scanning. There was really no way to 'configure' to my needs. Just turn it off completely when it started to interfere with what I was doing... and interfere it did at times.
So 23 days left in my license, and as I told BD long ago on the Facebook page, I have been completely in awe at how truly awful this company and product have been. I stated many months ago that I would not be using BD Internet Security any longer than I needed, and I would NEVER use another product of theirs. Today, I was again in awe to find out about the hidden auto-renew, and read many complaints and walk-throughs on where to find the option to turn it off. Well, I found it, contacted customer support just to be sure it was disabled, and am now one happy camper! Three weeks and this can be uninstalled and gone for good!
To be honest, I think MalwareBytes Anti-Malware did most of the work on my machine anyways.
To BD, your product is annoying, aggravating, your service is unacceptable, and I'm never coming back! If I find any product with anything to do with BD, I'll turn the other way quickly as possible. If your goal was to drive people away instead of having dedicated customers, you have greatly succeeded!
