In my hands-on malware protection test, Bitdefender didn’t fare as well, scoring 9.1 of 10 possible points. Avast One, Avira, and Microsoft also appear in the latest reports from all four labs, with aggregate scores of 9.6, 9.5, and 8.8 respectively. My algorithm that pulls together these disparate scores into a single aggregate rating naturally puts Bitdefender at a perfect 10 of 10 possible points. Finally, it receives the top-level AAA certification from SE Labs (Opens in a new window) (along with almost all tested products). It passes the tough banking defense test by MRG-Effitas and earns Level 1 certification in that lab’s 360 assessment, a rare feat. In three tests I follow from AV-Comparatives (Opens in a new window), Bitdefender earns three Advanced+ scores, the maximum possible rating. It scored a perfect 18 points with AV-Test Institute (Opens in a new window), for starters. Protecting 15 devices with Kaspersky Premium would cost you $144.99īitdefender currently holds perfect scores from all four of the independent antivirus testing labs that I follow. Bitdefender also offers a 15-license Family Pack at a list price of $119.99 per year. That sounds pricey, but to be fair, Norton also includes five no-limits VPN licenses and 50GB of hosted storage for online backups. A five-device license for Norton 360 Deluxe costs the same as Bitdefender’s 10-pack.

Upping that to $104.99 raises the limit to 10 devices. What Does Bitdefender Total Security Cost?įor $94.99 per year, you can install Bitdefender on five devices. Bitdefender Total Security is our current Editors' Choice winner for security mega-suites. Bitdefender Total Security both enhances the security offered by Bitdefender Internet Security and extends its protection to all popular platforms. Then there are the suites that protect multiple operating systems, not just PCs. On the other hand, some antivirus products boast an incredible bonanza of features. On one hand, there are suites that barely add enough features to merit the title. What’s the difference between an antivirus and a security suite? It’s not a simple question.
