★★★★★ While this app has caught some malicous items in email attachments, recently all of my Macs start getting messages about VSP needing whole disk access permissions it already has. Remove and re-add permissions does…
★★★★★ I know I have malware; this application in the other hand, says otherwise. Don't bother purchasing this flawed application.
★★★★★ $30 is a lot for something that doesn't work properly.
No customer support16%

★★★★★ The program finds malware but offers no support or hints about what to do when you find them ...
★★★★★ Compounding the problem is the almost total lack of customer service support offered.
★★★★★ There are no instructions on how to download so I contacted support two weeks ago.
Crashes and freezes8%

★★★★★ Also, I found that the app crashes other programs (especially Mac Mail) when "continous scan" is running in the background.
★★★★★ Not too happy with the fact that I paid for this app that generates multiple crash alerts daily.

APP is a firewall .

It completely ceased and or slows byte rate communication levels to IPTV and games from what I have noticed lately. Thus it does nothing more than change my firewall setting on this M2 Mac mini. I'm not sure if I can get a refund at this point in time but I'm going to request one.

★★★★★Mar 9, 2024
Mac OS 14.4

After years of reliable use, this scanner causes freezing and crashes after the Mac OS Sonoma 14.4 update. Maybe a thorough testing during the apha release to developers would have been wise...

★★★★★Oct 25, 2023
Memory Hog

This app is a memory hog. It doesn't release memory unless the app is quit and restarted. Then, after some time it needds to be quit and restarted again. Wish this wasn't a big memory hog, as it slows down my imac M1.

★★★★★Nov 10, 2021
Version history

Last update says M1 Compatibility yet if you go to your system report it is still listed as Intel? An no updates for 10 months? Monterey is out no updates? Is this abandoned software?

★★★★★Dec 23, 2020
Bitdefender won’t update and slows computer

When I receive updates for this program, it will not update. The waring says some of it’s extensions are in use by Safari and need to be turned off. It refuses to Quit. So it can’t be updated unless I delete it. The other thing I have noticed is that with it doing continuous scan it slows down my MAC when I’m working. Sometimes it is intolerable and I have to turn off continuous scan to upload items onto my computer. The inability to update is now a major issue and this program may have to be replaced.
