Antivirus, Firewall and Computer Health

[Hom3r]

I happy with my home network security.


Have have a Fingbox plugged into my router and every device that tries to connect to my network is blocked (wi-fi or wired), until I use the app on my phone to approve it.


This is a pain when my sister, nephew and niece come over as they have apple phones and the MAC keeps changing, so they are blocked every time, my nephew will sort this next time they come over.

Does anybody use bitdefender total security?

My malwarebytes expires next year and it doesn't look like I'll buy another term. Pricing on g2a are excessive let alone malwarebytes themselves. I had bitdefender free antivirus on a OnePlus 9 Pro which didn't disappoint. I'm just curious of bitdefender total security which seems reasonably priced for a long term subscription on g2a

I've not used Bitdefender but I do use AVG Internet Security and have done for many years without issue. You can get a 2 year 10 device licence for around £20 from eBay (which is where I bought my current licence from).

used it a while ago. You used to be able to get 6 months free then just sign back . Not sure what offers are out there but have a good look aroung

Used it all the time when with 3-6 month trials but stopped using PC so just use the free version of it now, also use free on mobile.

Damn AVG. I tried that in my teens. It wasn't strong enough.

Those free trials are no more on bitdefender but honestly I'm not going to keep going round each device and update credentials. I just want to activate and forget about it.

Bitdefender free doesn't protect against ransomware whereas windows defender does. I'd be better of with windows defender no

You maybe able to find a 3 month trial of Bitdefender Total Security and then at the end of the trial you can use the same email but move the period in it each time which works in Gmail, so you don't need to make a new email address.

If you had to do this every month it would likely be annoying.

Edit

You could try one of the yearly cheap keys and take a risk whether it'll activate or not, it maybe worth a punt to see what happens as it's only £11.61 but don't go blaming me if it goes tits up like you did with your mobile phone trade in.

My CJS link is £11.25 per year, obviously just buy 1 year at a time it works out cheaper.... You now owe me £12.50 for my time in searching Google for you, I'll add it to your tab. You can also get 4.25% Topcashback from CJS.

Seriously though I'd take the cheapest 1 yr sub that gives you 5 devices and then just do it again in 12 months if you can't be arsed with the free trial route.

That particular deal is labelled USA. The global one is around £17. Not sure what ezy means which is around £16.

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

[Jaymoss]

I guess if you pay with paypal and the ezkey does not work you can chargeback

Use a VPN for the USA deal if needed.

Your wise words will haunt me for life

The reason I questioned total security is because it was well priced. I have however not seen the actual need for it. An Antivirus alone would be enough to be honest. Malwarebytes has served me well for many years. 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

I have time to mull over it. Bloody NatWest getting rid of Malwarebytes

[SnoopZ]

Just do the cheap one I gave you it's a no brainer doesn't matter if it's USA key use a VPN if needed.

Or just use free ones like me.

I lost 6£ because of your wise arse ideas. Not again.
