I've been using Vipre for a few years and have been satisfied with it. I've recently been getting a lot of ads for Bitdefender and looked it up and it seems to have excellent reviews. I've seen various prices, in one it's the same as Vipre and in another a bit less. There are also lots of discounts for it.
Does anyone know anything about it and have any recommendations? I also noticed a free version. Would that be as good as the paid version?
I also found a site that provided discount coupons to use with it. Does anyone know if sites like that are reliable?

Whatever you do, don't get Avast. I had it for awhile and it worked great, but then when it was time to renew my subscription it really messed up my computer - I couldn't even connect on-line - it blocked my modem. It cost me over $300 to rectify the situation.

Wow!! That's really a shame. At wpuniverse.com (forum for WordPerfect) 3 different people recommended a combination of MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) and Malwarebytes. MSE is free and Malwarebytes has a free version, but they recommended the paid, which is only $25. It has a 14 day free trial. I've tried it, but then someone posted that MSE is really for experts who can determine which links are safe, so I'm now leery of that.
I have a few more days on the 14 day trial and a few days beyond that before my Vipre subscription is up, so I have to decide whether to renew Vipre or try something else. With all of these ads for Bitdefender and when I looked it up, it seems to have great reviews, I've been tempted to try that.
