1st reason, they practically scum $ from ur credit card

i paid bitdefender security software for 1 year service on 2020.

b4 the license expire on 2021, i paid for another 1 more year, planned to activate it after the license expired.

on the license expire day, the company performed an auto-renewal charge my credit card through paypal, without my acknowledgement.
at full price about 90 usd.

i sent email to paypal to cancel that transaction as it is WITHOUT my approval. paypal did NOT cancel it, stated it is valid transaction.

i contacted maybank to cancel that transaction as it is WITHOUT my approval. maybank did NOT cancel it, stated it is valid transaction.

i sent email to bitdefender to cancel and refund that auto-renewal, they did NOT cancel and refund that, taichi-ing to want me to cancel my report on paypal.

***

2nd reason, they popup window on ur window desktop luring u to buy more their stuffs

it's a security software, paid to do what it supposed to do.

but they also POPUP window in ur desktop for more $.

spamming ur email about biz practically is a norm nowaday, they did that, i will just accept that.

but spamming biz on my desktop just show their color.

***

it may be cheaper than other choices, if u can accept the bad experience i just shared to u, good luck and have fun with them

reserved for future update when i found the software doing malicious or more funny things.

I've been a Norton user for many years, no pop-ups, very straight forward renewal process, can switch off auto-renewal in your account profile

For everyday home use on a Windows 10 or 11 PC, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is efficient, accurate, and all you need to protect your PC. You don't need bitdefender or any other anti-virus program.

Never use any antivirus since windows 7
Even 10 already include antivirus

I have been using BitDefender for years...no problem. Why you give credit card auto renew? Whatever you sign up with credit card will have risk for auto debit. I just buy new code from my regular seller every alternate year or so. Sometimes got extra license also.
