Bitdefender Antivirus Plus (29.99 3 devices / 1 year – 50% off at Bitdefender) did slightly better in my hands on tests, so chances are good the free antivirus wouldn't reach the same level in. Find out the latest cybersecurity news, threats and trends, alongside the best tips & tricks and commercial offers in the industry.

Feather-light and free antivirus solution from renowned developer that keeps the PC protected at all times from malware without requiring user configuration

Bitdefender is one of the major players on the software security market, with a long history and millions of users worldwide. The developer prides itself on delivering top-notch protection for computers and other devices with a product lineup that includes three professional av solutions, namely Antivirus Plus, Internet Security and Total Security. Alongside them stands another flagship product of the security company: the free edition of the Bitdefender Antivirus.

Non-intrusive cost-free antivirus by Bitdefender

Following an uneventful setup process of the agent, the Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition prompts you to run an initial system scan to detect any potential malware or dangerous activity.

Designed for the home user, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition requires almost no configuration at all, delivering a no-hassle antivirus solution. It runs silently in the system tray area, without interfering with your work.

The antivirus features real-time protection, meaning that it keeps an eye on the system in the attempt to detect suspicious activity. As expected, it can also perform on-demand scans as well.

Real-time protection and on-demand system scans

Unlike the professional security solutions provided by Bitdefender, the Free Edition of the antivirus software features a simplified user interface for one-click control. In fact, the GUI is made up of a small window that reveals the security status of your computer and allows you to initiate a new scan.

Tool

The real-time protection shields and the automatic scan in Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition can be deactivated with the click of a button via the settings area. Moreover, you can add files, folders and URLs to an exclusions list to leave them out of the scan.

Threats found by Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition during its analysis are instantly sent to the quarantine, where you can have a look at the full path and choose whether to delete or preserve the files.

Straightforward antivirus solution with basic protection modules

Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition provides a simple av solution that relies on the powerful antivirus engine in all the other Bitdefender products. While it is effective and easy to use, it only offers basic protection against malware. Additional features and more security-related tools are available in Bitdefender’s professional solutions mentioned above.
