Bit-defender Total Security 2017 is a comprehensive security package for Windows, Mac OS and Android, all managed from a central web portal. Its core technology regularly scores top marks in independent tests, and it now offers features that will protect users from new and emerging threats, such as ransom-ware.
So, what do you get for your money? Firstly, installation is fast and simple. The whole process, including a signature update and system scan, took around 20 minutes on a 5-year-old dual-core laptop currently coming to terms with Windows 10. On Android, you simply install the app from Google Play and sign into your Bitdefender account to activate its defenses.
For a product with so many features, the interface on both Windows and Android is clean and sleek. The categories you'll use most (Protection, Privacy and Tools) are all well organised. Clicking a category displays its individual modules and tools.
Most users can leave the default Auto Pilot protection mode engaged. Website, file, and application protection are all enabled, as is the firewall. This mode also ensures that you're not bothered by intrusive security alerts. These defaults should take care of most things, but to make best use of all the facilities offered, perusing the online manual is highly recommended.
