Bitdefender Antivirus Customer Insights

1. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a light, simple and free antivirus service.Super fast virus scanner, but the tradeoff is that it requires an online connection to scan your device.

2. It doesn't seem like it scans anything except for installed applications, because it's an extremely short scan time, and I never see any files being scanned in the status bar.

3. The free version does not scan other files.

4. It actually scans slower than a PC - Took about 2 minutes to scan a about 130 apps on my phone.

5. Bitdefender👉I love your product and would gladly purchase your enhanced security program IF you'd just make it easier to use.Overall, the app is very easy to use and it always scans new downloads and updates to apps.

6. I like the fact that the free version will automatically check both newly installed apps and existing updates.

7. In all it doesn't work.A very basic scanner that scans for malicious apps.

8. The only time it runs is when something new was installed or when you choose to do a full system scan, which is good because that means it won't chew up your battery in the background.

9. Maybe they are comparing it to a scanner for a PC, which scans thousands, tens of thousands, or more? Obviously, that would take a lot longer than scanning a few apps.

10. I ran the scan several times and it mostly listed the same apps in the same order, and I am sure there are at least half a dozen it isn't scanning.

11. Some people claim this program scans quickly, but that does not seem to be the case.
