If you're looking only for basic protection, Bitdefender is worth consideration.
The fact is though that the jump in price between the basic version and the more feature-filled Internet Security suite is negligible, especially when you look at the additional features included.
For instance, while this version includes web browser protection, the upgraded version also includes social media scanning (SafeGo), which monitors your Facebook accounts and alerts you to spam and malware there.
With a variety of useful features, strong antivirus protection, and great ease of use, BitDefender Internet Security is a great Internet security suite.
It performed extremely well during extensive, multi-device testing of real time virus protection, virus removal, scanning, spyware detection and antivirus updates.
It's also easy to install and remove, and though takes a good bit of space, we found it didn't affect speed or system usability.
