Well your old man knows you better than anybody so I'm right and you're wrong again :p:

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 I don't know why I'm asking now the answer will be outdated by the time I need to activate new software :dunce:

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.

I have had Malwarebytes cough lifetime keys for over a decade. Still worked last time I tried but feel I do not need anything other than free av and a weekend eset scan online

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.

If you are not worried about Russia attacking you. £21 buys you the full works from kaspasky. And let's be honest if they wanted to, you wouldn't have a hope of preventing it.

Kaspersky use to offer a very good free antivirus, very lightweight on resources and ample protection. I wouldn't buy it but if it was free again I'd definitely consider it :tu:

It has been on loads of my machines along the way. It dates before they wanted email addresses just a key no online account. I will see if it still works later

Yes it still works

I am surprised at that. I had a lifetime key for Malwarebytes years ago that they blocked, when I contacted them all they could offer me was a 1 year key as compensation.

I'm curious why you always post money backwards, i.e. 10£, instead of £10 :confused:
