Important!
Please keep in mind that BitDefender Free Edition is only an on demand scanner and does not offer real time protection. If you are on an "always-on" Internet connection and since the exposure to threats has significantly increased, we strongly advise you to consider using a more complex antivirus solution.

Also, the BitDefender Customer Care offers very limited support for this free product. Having a paid and a complex BitDefender solution you will benefit of real time protection as well as of full support.
