when my bitdefender sub is about end soon, i looking for new security software and definitely not that shit.

initially decided on getting fsecure, but online payment keep failed, call bank tell me card security code fail, which i verify is not.

at the end, bought eset, no need using card, online bank transfer, no need worry fucking auto-renewal.

Why is wrong with bitdefender? My sub was also expired early this year and I bought two code from shoppe seller. It was 5 devices 2 year and 3 year codes bitdefender total security and yes the code can be stacked with max of five years

Later use that code to merge/extend my sub. My current subs merge fine with expire date till 2028

Then, I chat with bitdefender cs to change my plan from 5 devices to 10 devices limit by deducting 3 months from my subscription duration

If extend using cc for renewal, the price is way expensive, so just find authorize/legit seller from shoppe to buy the code

if u have no problem with bitdefender, well enjoy it.

not creating this topic to bash it.
i created this topic to suggest alternative for certain desire criteria.

if u interested, chk my historic posts about it, my story why its evil.

i have no idea why need waste money to those antivirus, have been use windows pc since windows xp, start 7 i did not use any antivirus

ESET is quite good... been using for more than 15 years...

some EU gomens are using them as well...

some travel debit card offer virtual card, eg Wise and Revolut,
even our own Bigpay has virtual visa.

Some cards don't work on overseas payment. Dunno why

been using Bitdefender since 2014 and no issue till now apart from the hassle to find friends to join together to share the price for 10 devices.

CS cannot detect there code is from third party seller? No licensing issue?
I have been buying from Bitdefender themself whenever there is 50% discounts during blackfriday or other occasions.

yes. they can detect which region the code is from. chat with cs, they said they dont mind if activate or extend using code from 3rd party seller but if the code is for extend ur subs, the code must be bought with same region as ur current subs

eg, if ur current sub is from activation from buying 3rd party or not and where the code or ur subs is originated from India (cheapest) and is about to expire. then u need to buy code from India region in order for it to merge with ur current subs and extend the validity.

that was told to me during my last chat with cs. not sure for now if the policy still the same. u can chat with cs to ask ur current subs is fall under which region. if ask why need it, just say that u come a across some sale on bitdefender.

the same when buying the code, ask the seller which region the code is from. make sure the refund availablity in case the code region is different as seller claim. if ur trust the seller, u can ask them to help extend ur current sub by gave temp access to ur central account. you can change back the password and 2fa after they done it
