I think Bitdefender is probably the best anti-virus I have used. but so many different departments with their own money/ subscription it's easier to make a mistake. I paid to have Bitdefender on all of my devices 10 license's to find out it only covers pc,s so I have wasted 8 licenses when I wanted to cover my 2 tablets and 3 phones to find out the package is for computers only and not my phone or tablet so I now need to but more so it's a waste of money

A little complex to set up, but it's the most comprehensive suite of safety and security apps I have ever used. It also warns about apps/devices not covered on the same network. Checks out attempted fraud in mail, links,and messages. It also includes VPN. It is not cheap if you go for the Total package, but if you like ' the best', you have to pay for it and it would be cheaper than a cleared out bank account

Well, it's 2025, 3 years after the last review I left. I'd like to say Bitdefender Central has improved, but I'd be lying. The app produces notifications but I only get the if I open it. I've given it permission for every notification there is. Still I never get one from the app that a device has an issue. You should read my review on the paid Bitdefender Security Suite.
