Hi everyone,


I just purchased a subscription for IS 2013 having IS 2012 already installed on my system.The current version has 150 days left of my subscription & I was going to just install 2013 now but have been reading the posts here on this forum and am frankly worried that there seems to be a lot of problems with 2013.Would I be better off waiting before I install 2013 to see if these problems get fixed?All opinions welcome :)

    Hi bulldogtimbo, and welcome :)


    There are defiantly some nice features and improvements with the 2013 version, but IMHO, I would wait, and monitor these forums for the resolve of some of the known issues. I am running the 2013 Security Suite on this notebook, and so far no issues (after I had done an uninstall/reinstall to the newer build)


    You could always try it if you want, as you can always uninstall the 2013 version, and go back to your 2012 version if needed. As you know you have that upgrade option with your current subscription.


    Here are some helpful 2013 links, if you decide: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?act...f=241&id=42 ..... http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?act...f=312&id=53


    Just my thoughts :)

    Thanks for the reply Columbo.


    Your advice sounds like the right decision,I am extremely happy with the 2012 version so I jumped at the chance for a reduced subscription price and the upgrade to 2013.I hope these issues get sorted as I really like the product and the 2013 version does sound like an improvement.


    Thanks again :)

    You're welcome, glad I could help in some way :)


    Either way, you have a good thing going, a known and stable 2012 version, and a soon to be even better 2013 version when all the new 2013 year/build issues are resolved. You also got in on a nice deal to boot, good for you :D


    Take care,

    Hello :)


    If you like Bitdefender 2012, you can keep it until you decide to upgrade to our latest product.


    Also, since we released Bitdefender 2013, we fixed most of the reported issues.


    If you change your mind, you have here the upgrade steps:

    I have tried to pm you twice but I do not see the pm's in my sent folder so I really don't know if they are getting through to you. Can you look to see if they did make it through.


    thankyou in advance
