Is this an Anti-Virus as well? All I see in the listed features is a noted Malware protection and not virus any ideas?

Steven I am not sure. One thing I am sure of is their customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with I would not buy anything from bitdefender. They sent me an email stating my bitdefender was expired, so I bought a new one from them, they instructed me to uninstall the old one when I did my pc crashed. I want the cost of repair and they wont let me talk to anybody to resolve the issue.

I bought this as an Anti-Virus. If you go to the web site it lists what this covers. I received the CD and box which lists it as an Anti-Virus. For Anti-Malware I also use SuperAntiSpyware.

Hi I had to contact Customer Services, which, at best, is hit and miss and at worst is an appalling experience Beware of their tendancy to try and sell you "essential clearing of numerous viruses from your infected computer" I use Windows Defender, CCleaner and Malwarebytes, all free to download, I binned Mcafee Good luck

Sorry, Eugene...I do not have an answer for you. BUT, there should be a Customer Service number from Webroot and they should be able to help at the Company Site. (I do not have the AntiVirus Download. I have the Internet Security Plus system.)

No, this one is only antivirus. You'll want one of their "Security" editions instead.

I would assume so, it does come with Window's defender, but I have used Avast and other free antivirus and they have worked well.

Yeah before doing so you should install a anti-virus system probably Webroot is the best. The only reason you should install a anti-virus is so you won't end up having a virus like I did.

It comes with norton or mcafee, im not sure. I have a different software i use.

It does't come with pre-loaded anti virus software. You'll have to purchase and install one.

This unit doesn't require any additional virus protection software. The protection is built-in the OS with automatic updates.

It had McAfee (I believe) installed. We uninstalled it and installed another antivirus program that we prefer.

You are right that it has some sort of processor. I'm not sure what the brand is, but from the tech specs, I know it's a dual-core 600 MHz CPU. But processors are not what gets infected with viruses and other malware--it's operating systems. Once again, I don't know for sure what OS this thing is running, but I'd say there's a 99.9% chance it's running an embedded Linux distribution. The good news here is that Linux is NOT Microsoft Windows when it comes to viruses and such. It's hard to infect without user interaction (i.e., you intentionally compromising the device, or being tricked into doing so). If you use the cloud feature, it's not likely to be a virus magnet. That said, yes, Aunt Ida can get a document infected with a virus in her email, copy the doc to your NAS, and then a virus will be on your network. But that's the risk with pretty much anything that accepts files; she could have also forwarded you that email with the infection. Long story short, not much to worry about that your normal sane computing practices wouldn't already take care of.

Sorry for the delayed response, I'm purchased the computer in 2011 and I have had it since. I have had no problems with the computer except the "A" occasionally sticks. There was a security software on there for most of the computers life but there is not one currently since I have not needed to use the computer recently. I have not any virus problems with the computer. I have had no issues with it, I just don't need it.

I did not remove any anti virus. I have periodically used the stick to clean up any stray new attacks. I also added a malware program to protect my back. So I have three defense programs active.

I did a recent install on a PC that had Microsoft and ZoneAlarm anti-virus programs on it and Bitdefender wanted them removed before install. I've seen many comments about anti-virus programs not getting along with others. All my PC's have CCleaner installed and I've had no issues with Bitdefender. I can't speak regarding the other programs you asked about.

It looks like the 2013 control panel with new features added. To be honest I turned most of the features off because it slowed my fast laptop (I7 3.2 ghz w/ 16 gbs ram 500 gb ssd win7)to a crawl. No viviruses yet. I have not found virus protection that did not slow down a pc. If you buy it tweak it till your comfortable with performance vs protection.

I haven't had one on my computer in the 6 years that I've had it. I have always used 360 or some type of Norton Antivirus. But they say 24 tech support so I can only assume that they help remove any viruses you may encounter. I am not 100% sure so you may want to contact them directly before purchasing

I do not know, I do not understand your question sorry. All I can tell you is that since I have avast PRO in my computer I am safe and no viruses. I have it for several years already. I also have it installed in my outlook and in my google chrome and I am happy.
