With most security suites, you can choose the number of licenses you want, with better per-license pricing at higher numbers. Note, too, that Bitdefender routinely earns perfect and near-perfect scores from four independent antivirus testing labs. Bitdefender Internet Security is an Editors’ Choice winner for entry-level suites, while Bitdefender Total Security is our Editors’ Choice for a top-tier mega-suite.
Now that Webroot Internet Security Complete no longer offers backup, the incremental value of upgrading to this top-tier suite is even less.īitdefender, by contrast, packs so many features into its basic antivirus that it outmatches many suites.
