Come say hello and tell us about yourself!

My name is Kevin. I work for a promotional marketing agency in US. Assisting with information security management. In my spare time I fly sailplanes.

We are a 100% macOS shop and control many things on company issued laptops using SimpleMDM, but there are a few things that we need to have more control of or have more visibility into. Hoping Bitdefender can be the tool for us.

hi my name is Bill i am retired from " IT " as of last year. I started my career around 1985. I started at the last of the mainframes. Saw PC's become popular. I like flying my drone, day trading, working on cars, and smallengines. I like electronics both analog and digital. In fact in High School i was taking Analog electronics, no calculators, PC's , LCDs either Nixie tubes , CRT's or analog meters for worldly outside reading of what was going on. Had a slide rule for calculations. I remeber the day our instructor came in and informed us about a new company called Intel and something called digital electronics. I started working when i was 14 working at nights after school or weekends. All the nice days i was inside repairing someones whatever. Now its time for adventure, everyday is a saturday.

Hello and a warm welcome to the Community!

I have a huge respect for freelancing, as it sells value and offers the opportunity to work on your own terms. So I guess that it really depends on how motivated you are and if you are willing to go the extra mile to achieve your goals. Money is a necessity after all, we need them to pay our bills and make a decent living. But what I learned is that you can get extremely motivated to go above and beyond to get them, if you are really enjoying your work. This has to be one of the key elements if you want to be successful. When work meets passion, that is where things are happening.

Been watching the Blacklist on Netflix lately, I find it quite good. Taylor Swift? She has to be one of the most beautiful women that ever lived on this Planet.

Let us know when you start travelling. I might actually open a category for travel experiences. What do you think? This place doesn't have to be all about viruses and bugs, we can also have a good time and share experiences, right?

Cheers!

Hello @NoriiSun1 and a warm welcome to the Community! Your contribution is highly appreciated!

I am happy to hear you are enjoying your Bitdefender products and I hope you will also enjoy your time here on the forum 🙂

What are you studying and where are you from?

FIFA is one of my favourite games. I play with Liverpool on XBOX ONE and I'm excited to get the 2022 game.

I usually buy them 2 years apart, so the last one I played was 2020. I must say that the improvements are also very noticeable, when skipping a version.

Cheers!

Very nice!

Well, the Community is a good place to start and here you can share your passion with fellow members!

May all your dreams come true 🙂

Cheers!

Hello all!

I'm Denise and I'm very happy to be here to hopefully gain insights to things I am unaware of because: 1. I'm old; 2. I will need help figuring out what causes some issues (AARP is unsafe?), 3. How to protect myself from potential spying/intrusive applications and if they are TRULY unsafe (I question a LOT of those things!).

While I'm no newbie to the internet, I am new to the security measures being produced and quite honestly do not understand most of it. I've only ever had one virus and that was in 2004. However, I very aware of recent Ransomware attacks and they scare me because I'm always online and work in a virtual environment.

I've been using Bitdefender since last summer. I have it on a laptop, a desktop, 2 phones, and a tablet. Way better than what I was using (or not using!). So less intrusive with much lighter weight of resource allocation.

Hobbies?? ME??? I am a workaholic!!! If I'm not working, I'm organizing, cleaning, shopping, am almost always listening to music (also via the internet), doing legal research (not my profession), watching Netflix or HBO Max, or just surfing for ideas for organizing and cleaning (constitutes most of my shopping lol).

I am not into gaming, unfortunately for the younger folk, but I do hear a lot about it from my sons.

I am happy to poke around a while and see what I can find! Again, happy to be here!

Always,

Denise

Hi, I'm a Southeast Asian man who is over 50. I use my desktop mainly for reading, youtube, streaming, gaming, and work. I am not a computer geek (not good enough to get myself out of computer issues) so I rely on having good internet security for protection - antivirus, safepay and firewall. I've used various paid solutions over the decades - Symantec, ESET, Webroot, and in the last two years, Kaspersky which I am pretty pleased with.

However, I am outraged by Putin's invasion of Ukraine and decided to uninstall my Kaspersky yesterday and replaced it with Bitdefender. It may not be relevant and may not mean much but that's just how I feel about it.

I intend to get the Bitdefender Total Security version once the trial is over and also secure my mobile phone with it. Thanks for reading and may God Bless You!

I’m Derb. Hello all. I'm a retired guy who used to program the larger computers. Much has changed, eh? I like having a user community where other users help out and I hope to be one helping, though my experience with Bitdefender is new. Right now I have a problem but can't find a place to enter my issue. I'm sure I'll find it eventually. Thanks to all ahead of time.

I'm making my Cane Corso Puppies a cup of tea. Would you like to know more about

some cane corso puppies near me, cane corso puppies for sale, cane corso puppies. 

It's a lot of fun! .

Hi All

I am Scott as you may have guessed. :) I live in the USA, have worked in the computer sciences field for over 40 years, and operate my own company. I'm looking forward to the healthy exchange of ideas bound to happen here.

Cheers

Welcome, @QuiX and thanks for sharing bits of your personal life.

55 is 15 when it comes to gaming, I think many of the members would agree on this one. What are your favs at the moment?

cheers,

Mike

Hi Frank and welcome! Funny thing...just heard a good friend of mine wanting a Cane Corso for her father 😊

Hello everyone and thank you for joining us here!

My name is Alexandru, I'm 36, born in Bucharest, Romania. I've joined Bitdefender in the summer of 2019 as Lead of the Commercial Support Team. During my professional career, I have worked in advertising, tourism, logistics, telecommunications and IT, mostly in the consumer areas.

I love cars, motorsport and everything related to it. I watch the F1 races, go to racing events and tuning shows. I also like miniature car models. I am passionate about football and I enjoy attending matches regularly. My other hobbies are driving, travelling and socializing with friends, meeting new people and learning about new cultures.

I am currently studying Communication and Public Relations at the University of Bucharest.

I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to show my appreciation towards all our members and contributors that help us build and develop this Community, by showing their support and sharing their knowledge.

Best wishes!

Salutare! Ma numesc Matei și sunt absolvent al Facultății de Matematică din București ( din cadrul Universității din București ) Sunt profesor de matematică la un liceu din Râmnicu Sărat și sunt extrem de apreciat de elevii mei, de toate generațiile ce mi-au trecut "prin mână".

Încă de la începutul pandemiei am luat decizia să fac ore online, suplimentare, de matematică cu elevii interesați de aceasta disciplină. Astfel, în fiece săptămână, fac cate o oră cu clasele a 9-a, a 10-a și a 11-a, iar cu a 12-a aloc câte 2 ore săptămânal. Iar toate astea sunt gratuite!

Sunt Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert, încă din 2020, iar grație acestui fapt am reușit să îmi pot lua licență la Office 365 planul A3 pentru profesori. Astfel am putut să-mi țin orele pe cea mai performantă platformă, anume Microsoft Teams. Sunt în al 3-lea an de licențiere.

Am participat la webinariile organizate de parteneri Microsoft ( nu cred că am voie să le dau numele ) și am instruit profesorii din toată țara cum să folosească, eficient, Teams-ul în procesul de predare online!

Sunt un tip pasionat de tehnică și investesc mult în tot ce e nou și-mi place! Fac parte din acestă comunitate încă din anul 2009, având ( pentru puțin timp ) chiar rolul de moderator al Forumului BitDefender ( vechea denumire a comunității ). Pe atunci admin era Daniel M. Mi-am făcut mulți amici la BitDefender în atâția ani de activitate și țin legătura cu ei!

Am rămas fidel comunității ca urmare a faptului că aici am găsit oameni minunați.

Cred că ar trebui să mă opresc pentru că n-aș dori să plictisesc pe careva!

Hello @yesjerryer,

I was always passionate about photography, but never got the chance to get my hands on a professional camera and actually learn how to use it. I do have an Instagram profile where I sometimes post pictures of spotted vintage cars made with my phone.

My sister is a photographer, so at least someone in the family followed this beautiful and creative job.

If you would like to share with us some of your work, please feel free to open a thread in the General Topics section.

All the best.

@Mike_BD

I like your signature, it made me smile :)

I'm still rockin a LGA 775 socket from my home-built PC. Granted, it's not XP, but Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I always got a kick out of the saying, "Windows 7 is Vista that works". :)

But back then, some of those older cpu's could be overclocked to achieve some amazing numbers, and sustain it even on air, compared to water cooled. There was one in particular that the geeks really liked for OCing, I can't remember which one, but it was a beast. I'll post some pictures of my build on the Showroom thread. Granted, in my case it's not much, but as with yours, it's still doing a great job for me.

With mine, I had fans galore, fluorescent wire wrap, four fan controller on the front (blue light knobs) etc. etc. I ended up in getting a smaller quieter case, taking off and out the glitz, and even soundproofing the inside, so I could have it next to me without it bothering me.

@Scott winter and road construction 🤣🤣

It's amazing how CAD has evolved over the years and it really expands possibilities for many industries. Check out this '82 video from a CAD Lab that gets me everytime:

Let's introduce myself in short. I live in The Netherlands and I am, at the time of writing, still an IT-student. I am graduating next year, when everything is fine. My goal is to become a job in the IT-security sector. Let's hope for a great future.

Besides that I am a loyal Bitdefender user since 2016. What else can I say about Bitdefender? ;) Let's have an inspiring community for an even better Bitdefender (future)!
