BitDefender Total Security 2012 - Review

Back on the 17th of this month I took a look at the beta version of BitDefender Total Security 2012 and I have to say that I wasn’t impressed at all. There were a few reasons for this but the main one by far was the fact that the program reduced my laptop to a crawl. Or should I say complete and utter standstill.

The Good:

• Massive improvement over the beta version
• Auto-pilot feature requires less input from the user
• Large range of features

The Bad:

• Large amount of RAM required
• Interface: white text on a black background is a personal no-no
• Some people have reported that installation can be slow

The Good:

• Auto-pilot feature requires less input from the user
• Large range of features
• Not much else I’m afraid

The Bad:

• Shocking performance
• Large amount of RAM required
• Interface: white text on a black background is a personal no-no
