Version history
Last update says M1 Compatibility yet if you go to your system report it is still listed as Intel? An no updates for 10 months? Monterey is out no updates? Is this abandoned software?
United StatesBitdefender won’t update and slows computer
When I receive updates for this program, it will not update. The waring says some of it’s extensions are in use by Safari and need to be turned off. It refuses to Quit. So it can’t be updated unless I delete it. The other thing I have noticed is that with it doing continuous scan it slows down my MAC when I’m working. Sometimes it is intolerable and I have to turn off continuous scan to upload items onto my computer. The inability to update is now a major issue and this program may have to be replaced.
United StatesExcellent!
I have been using it for years now. It catches malware that other products fail to catch. I have it running on all my computers now and it works without a flaw. I tried the free version and it catch some malware other products I was having trouble with and other malware removers could not detect. That is when I bought it. It has caught additional malware since I bought the pay version. The pay version scans continuously in the back ground, as the free version only scans when I select it to scan. It does not slow the computer down at all. I love it and would reccomend it to anyone.
United StatesMake the system too slow
I could bear slight or 1~2 times slowness but this makes the network speed 10 times slower. It also make HDD or SSD speed too slow. I had to turn the protection off to use network or SSD. I don't know what the developer are doing nowadays. They don't even test the software? They don't monitor the review? Their answer is always "contact us". Why do I need to contact you as I can simply delete it.
United StatesHigh Memory Usage with Last Update needs to be fixed
Last update (3.16) caused high app memory usage (approx. double the RAM memory usage on MacOS Sierra 10.12.6). Previously it would take around 300-400mb, now it’s around 800-1000mb of which 10% of it is compressed…Please fix this memory leak ASAP.
United StatesApple Have You Noticed?
The five star reviews are almost all four years old. The recent reviews are almost all one or two stars.
United StatesUsed to be a good program
This has fallen behind the Mojave update. To get this to work you have to do that in-and-out crap of going into the Finder and letting it have absolute freedom to your Privacy settings. I've seen this happen with a few other apps and programs, yet so many others seem to get around it. Avoid.
