Hi Wendy When BitDefender is installed it will automatically turn off Windows Defender Passive Mode However, Windows may at a later stage turn on Defender and those actually can co-exist and run side by side It is not a good idea to have the two running side y side, because they will basically be fighting each other for control of your system and that will result in a loss of performance on your PC.

How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. MalwareBytes is compatible with Windows Defender, only when it is not registered. If Bitdefender is properly installed and registered, Windows Defender will be disabled , by design. The Real-time protection is disabled. You must scroll down to see it. Good luck, Glen. I have Bitdefender – y6 can windows security be on too?

In reply to RosyHat’s post on November 7, I cannot determine if BitDefender offers this same characteristic or not. See if you can arrive at that conclusion. See the following. As previously stated in this thread, the Limited Periodic Scanning button will allow Windows Defender to function, but only in passive mode, in concert with BitDefender. Only for scans. Real-time protection will be turned “off”.

Two “active” antivirus programs running at the same time will cause conflict. There will be degradation in your PC’s performance, at best. Regards, Glen. Reza Ameri Volunteer Moderator. Still, the programs deliver excellent malware protection and are the rare antivirus programs that can be purchased in a bundle with home networking hardware. The lowest rung of Bitdefender’s line is Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition, which provides basic protections in a no-frills but effective package.

As mentioned above, this is unfortunately going away soon. The cheapest paid program, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, offers a lot for its price. It includes Bitdefender’s Network Threat scanner, a file shredder, an unlimited but Windows-only password manager, the company’s Safepay hardened browser and an anti-tracking feature. It adds a two-way firewall, parental controls and dedicated webcam and microphone protection.

The file-encryption feature has been dropped for Bitdefender Total Security adds software for Macs and Android devices, plus a new system optimizer to squeeze a little extra performance out of your system. Netgear’s newer routers, including the Orbi mesh systems and the Nighthawk line, have optional protection called Netgear Armor that protects smart-home devices and also includes an unlimited-device license for Bitdefender Total Security.

Some new Netgear routers come with one to three free years of Armor protection. You can also add it to routers that have already been purchased. Netgear has a full list of routers that support Netgear Armor here opens in new tab.

Like Netgear Armor, the Box protects smart-home devices. The Mac software requires macOS Mobile devices require a minimum of Android 4. Like most antivirus makers, Bitdefender doesn’t offer a consumer Linux program.

Whenever Bitdefender’s malware-scanning engine encounters what may be a new piece of malware, it uploads the suspicious item to Bitdefender’s online testing lab for analysis. New malware signatures are distributed several times daily to the million systems protected by Bitdefender products.

These uploads will include some information about your system and what it was doing when a new threat was detected. If you’d rather Bitdefender not know that, you can opt out of this data collection. You’ll still get the malware-signature updates.

Bitdefender blocks potentially unwanted applications PUAs , fileless malware and bootkits. It also guards the integrity of files and automatically copies files under attack from encrypting ransomware so that you have backup copies. The Profiles feature monitors what you’re doing and tailors the protection accordingly.

There are preset profiles for work, movie, games and public Wi-Fi. Bitdefender no longer offers the free downloadable Bitdefender Rescue CD, which booted a severely infected system into Linux for a complete scan and cleaning. Bitdefender paid software still creates the similar Bitdefender Rescue Environment in a hidden hard-drive partition during installation, but the Rescue Partition now uses a sandboxed version of Windows 10 instead of Linux to remove persistent threats.

But it picked up 12 false positives, a rather high number and by far the most of all seven brands of paid antivirus software we review. In tests conducted by the AV-Comparatives lab in Austria, Bitdefender’s defenses let a few threats through. It caught Bitdefender had four false positives over the entire period and Kaspersky had two, but Trend Micro had an astounding 63 false positives.

Its malware scanner may be a little too sensitive. We also use results from London-based SE Labs opens in new tab , in which Kaspersky usually comes out on top, but Bitdefender is no longer tested by that lab.

Each Bitdefender paid program blocks web-tracking in the Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome browsers, but not in Edge. There’s also a powerful file shredder that’s quick and easy to use. Bitdefender’s File Vault encryption feature has been discontinued, but files encrypted with older versions of Bitdefender programs can still be retrieved opens in new tab if you remember the password.

Safari support is on the way. The Safepay hardened browser protects online banking and shopping sessions by blocking browser extensions and making sure you’re using a secure HTTPS session.

It has an on-screen keyboard so you can type in passwords and credit-card numbers without having to worry about keyloggers. Bitdefender Internet Security, Total Security and Premium Security still have one of the industry’s easiest and best webcam- protection features, which not only blocks access but lets you choose which applications have webcam access.

They also include a two-way firewall, which can be set to Stealth mode to make sure nobody from outside your home network gets access. Parental Controls come with Internet Security, Total Security and Premium Security and work across all platforms for seamless control and monitoring. The new OneClick Optimizer makes recommendations for speeding up your computer, such as getting rid of junk files or fixing Registry problems. To measure the performance impact, we used our custom benchmark test, which clocks how long a PC takes to match 20, names and addresses on an Excel spreadsheet.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T laptop we used had a 2. Before we installed Bitdefender, the T took an average of The completion time increased to During a full scan of the entire computer, it took our benchmark test The benchmark completion time during a quick scan was
