Free Upgrade

Hi folks, this this my first post on this forum.


I use BitDefender Internet Security v10 and my licence expires in 2009. My PC runs on Windows XP SP2 and I keep it up-to-date at all times.


As a registered user, I presume I am entitled to a free upgrade on the 2008 products.


-What free upgrade am I entitled to (There are two different suites) ?


-How do I upgrade from what I have now ? (Can anyone provide the procedure for upgrading)


- Are the 2008 very buggy ? Are you recommending to upgrade ?


What I use now works like a charm and flawlessly. Would I gain much by upgrading ? What features do the 2008 suites have that I do not have right now.


Thanks to all those who will care to help.

    - there are 3 different suites AV, IS and Total Security. You are entitled to upgrade to IS.


    - Uninstall old, install new.


    - If everything is working fine at the moment, I dont see any reason to upgrade.


    Read the features on the Bitdefender website to see differences etc.

    If you decide to upgrade to the new version, please keep in mind that you have to use the new uninstall tool for a clean removal. After that reboot and install the new product.


    There new nifty features that could be useful in 2008 version. Besides of the engine there is a anti-phishing scanner, game mode, etc.

    What about bug fixes? I have had constant problems on two different systems since installing BitDefender v10. On both, IE7 hangs regularly then crashes with an error in sockspy.dll. BD suppport has been non-responsive over a three week period. EXTREMELY disappointed with both the product and support to this point. Will v2008 help?
