You could have come picked me up in your A3 instead of me paying bus fare :(

Oooh wise one on g2a questions can be asked to the seller(s), direct message if you like. I await their response regarding multiplatform activation of bitdefender antivirus plus. It works out more expensive than total security. I still have until June 2026 when malwarebytes expires. I don't know why I'm asking now the answer will be outdated by the time I need to activate new software :dunce:

Problem I have is even on g2a bitdfender isn't cheap, around £80 3 years 5 devices and I don't know whether it's multiplatform

Hi Ms Killjoy :naughty:



This is windows only. Not multiplatform. Confirmed by the seller on G2A.

Isn't that kind of expensive, also I'd go for Total Security if I was still doing the trials. You're good for 10 months with Malwarebytes, hopefully by then there will be a better deal if you still wish to pay for an anti virus suite.

Yes, around 10£ more a year. I was contemplating the need of a antivirus rather than other bits that are included in total security.



How many devices are those lifetime keys? And is it activated in the online account?

I really liked eset back in the day. I've not tried it for around 15 years.

I used Aurora store for my secondary device so it's not really linked to anything. Oh well welcome to the new world.

I purchased Malwarebytes from eBay last month activating today. Works a treat. :D

What's dodgy about eBay? They have buyer protection :confused: as for unknown persons, it's that or pay hundred odd pound to Malwarebytes for the same licence :shrug:

After buying on eBay last month I went on g2a for giggles and lo and behold some seller was selling the same licence for a few pound cheaper.

Malwarebytes doesn't link the licence to any remote connectivity.

I'm a dummy at remembering all that. I keep things minimal. Google has controls to not sync contacts on the device etc. There's contact control, backup controls, I'll soon know if I require more controls. Having the main Google account on the device isn't so bad tbh. Google play system updates enable with an account present :woot:

They don't have access to anything other than the supplied licence key :shrug: their reputation as a seller is telling of their legit business.

Your responses aren't very insightful. I don't understand :confused:

How do these resellers get the licences to begin with? I paid about £25 for 5 devices 1 year. How much are they sourcing them for :erm:
