Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2012 review and 5 Licenses

each 1 Year to GiveAway

We take our hands on the new Bitdefender Antivirus 2012 Plus and installed the 64 bit Version on

Windows 7.

The Download Files of the possible final version are under a subfolder 'intern' to found.

BitDefender 2012 installed fast in a matter of a few minutes.

A system restart is not required.

After a system scan all virus samples were detected but also some false positives shown up incl.Nirsoft

Programsand others.

Some productivity software applications refused to work with Bitdefender 2012 which is not so nice.More

Application compatibility errorsby the 'intern' download build 15.0.27.305 bymany programswhich

seem to be worse as in Bitdefender 2011.

BitDefender's uninstall Tool can be foundhere

IncrediFlashwith which we create Product Presentations did not more work next to some known and

reported programs (none of them security related). We reinstalled without success Bitdefender 2012 and

IncrediFlash XTreme, tested the same combination on a complete fresh Windows 7 64bit installation but

unfortunately we were unable to create, with Bitdefender 2012 on the system installed, the animated

product show below.

We hope that the files under the subfolders '/intern/' on Bitdefender's download sites,digital signed on

Monday 25. July 2011is not the Final version which will be merged in one installer file and as online

setup on 27. July 2012. Even if the file content of the later single setup file are most recent dated with a

new certificate yesterday signed and more languages are added, otherwise many BitDefender Fans may

downgrade to the 2011 or even to an older 2010 Version or change to another AV 'Gui' using

Bitdefenders engine.

Bitdefenders outstanding virus signature database is also to found in F-Secure, G-Data and Bullguard.

We will review this AV's later.

Auslogics Antiviruscan be downloaded under the OEM folder is the same in a rebranded user interface.
