Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2012 comes with some solid basic security
features, but they're more comparable to free suites than anything
else. Still, Bitdefender's new AutoPilot is great for people who want
top-rated security that doesn't annoy.
Review:Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2012 presents a convincing alternative to its better-known competitors. It's a strong program, with all the major tools that users expect, and some additional useful tricks in its arsenal. Bitdefender is held back by some major problems on system performance, specifically boot up and shutdown time, so if you're cool with those two and you want to pay for security, this might be your best bet. Otherwise, go look at the free security options.

Installation
Bitdefender's installation still aggressively detects other security programs you have installed. It won't play well with the small subset of programs that are designed to supplement the major suites, like Malwarebytes. It won't install if you have even remnants of them left. To ensure that Bitdefender installs cleanly, our advice is to use an uninstaller tool like to keep program detritus from causing conflicts. The option in last year's version that allowed concurrent installations appears to have been removed.
