Bitdefender is constantly topping up charts in the antivirus world, but all of those awards don’t say much about how to USE Bitdefender, do they?

Today, I’m gonna do a Bitdefender tutorial - from how to install it to how to get the most out of your plan.

------------------------------------------------------------

🔎 Quick overview 🔎

According to the latest AV-Test, Bitdefender blocked 100% of threats. Of course, I did my own testing too, as I do for any antivirus. Out of the 10 malicious files I planted onto my device, Bitdefender found and removed 9 of them. So yes, it works, that’s a pretty good result compared to Windows Defender, which, detected zero threats in my most recent testing.

------------------------------------------------------------
💻 Installation process & app overview 💻

The first step of this Bitdefender Total Security tutorial was to install the app itself. It took around 10 minutes, though in previous downloads it took me only 4 so it could be more of an internet issue this time. That aside, despite the abundance of features, the Windows and Mac versions are fairly simple to use. The apps look about the same, the main difference is that I found a bit more features on the Windows version.

------------------------------------------------------------
🔦 Navigating through the features 🔦

In the dashboard, I can add or remove stuff for quick access. That shield in the corner shows your device's health.

You can perform the scans right from the dashboard, so super easy to manage. What I tend to do is have real-time protection always running. It catches viruses, Trojans, worms, ransomware, yada yada – all the more advanced threats of the internet.

In the protection section, from here, I can turn on things like Antispam or the Firewall.

In the privacy tab you can see their own VPN, which comes with the Bitdefender Total Security plan. In all honesty, the VPN is lackluster, compared to standalone apps at least.

Also in the privacy tab, I can toggle with Anti-tracker settings. I can LAO set up video and audio protection from this tab, that’s something even the Mac version doesn’t yet have. It doesn’t have parental controls either, among a few other things.

------------------------------------------------------------
✏️ The mobile apps ✏️

To be fair, the discrepancies between Android and iOS are pretty significant. I honestly think that the iOS version isn’t the best option on the market, it’s basically just a data checker with a very limited VPN. This kinda falls down to the built-in protection Apple already offers.

But, after my Bitdefender antivirus review for Android, I was quite impressed. There’s a proper Dashboard and a Malware scanner, I also found Web Protection - all things a proper antivirus should offer. I was even pleasantly surprised to find the Anti-theft and Share-protection features here.

------------------------------------------------------------
Final thoughts ➡️

I truly think or at least hope, that after this Bitdefender Total Security review & tutorial, you’ll have no problems using the app. Which plan you pick is completely up to you, so hopefully, this Bitdefender review made your choice a bit easier too.

- Yeah, Bitdefender is
constantly topping the charts
in the antivirus world,
but all of those awards
don't actually say much
about how to use Bitdefender now, do they?
(upbeat music)
Hey guys, I'm Mike,
and today I'm gonna do a
Bitdefender tutorial 2022 style,
from how to install it,
to how to get the most out of your plan.
Now, like I said, Bitdefender
has quite the reputation,
but, you know, things
can sometimes get praised
without any solid reasons.
So, what's actually behind
the best antivirus 2022 title?
Well, I'll talk about
specific things that I like,
and some that I don't, throughout
this Bitdefender tutorial.
But there's one thing that
I can say right off the bat,
it works well.
Even according to the latest AV-TEST,
the Bitdefender 2022 version
blocked 100% of threats.
And of course, I had to do my own testing
as I do for any antivirus,
out of the 10 malicious files
that I planted onto my device,
Bitdefender found and
removed nine of them.
So yeah, it works, and
that is a great result,
which compared to Windows Defender
who detected zero threats
in my most recent testing.
Yeah.
Okay, so that's just a
little background info
on Bitdefender for anyone who's curious.
Okay, now, how do they actually handle,
and what's the install process like?
Okay, so I have the
Bitdefender Total Security plan
set up for myself, whichever
one that you've got,
the interface is not gonna
differ all that much.
Oh, and if you still need a
Bitdefender Antivirus plan,
well, I left a discount link
down in the description,
check it out after the video
since it's definitely
gonna save you a few bucks.
Okay, the very obvious first step
of this Bitdefender Total
Security tutorial 2022
was to install the app itself.
It took around 10 minutes,
but yeah, in previous downloads
it only took four minutes
so, maybe it could be more of
an internet issue this time,
I hope it is.
Well, that aside, despite
the abundance of features,
the Windows and Mac versions
were actually fairly simple to use.
See, the apps really look about the same.
The main difference is that
I found a few more features
on the Windows version.
Just check out this dashboard,
I've got all the essentials here
and I can add or remove
stuff for quick access,
it's pretty nifty.
So the app looks good and
it's easy to navigate,
yep, even beginners are
not gonna feel lost here.
All right, now, that shield in the corner
shows your device's health.
If you see a green one, like
me, congrats, you're safe,
if it turns red, Bitdefender
antivirus found something
a bit suss on your device.
Thankfully you can perform the scans
right from the dashboard,
super easy to manage.
Yep, that's the real time
protection that's always running.
It catches viruses, Trojans, worms,
ransomware, yada, yada, yada,
all the more advanced threats
encountered on the internet.
Honestly, the real-time protection
is one of the main
reasons I say Bitdefender
is one of the best antivirus
for Windows options.
I only ever really
consider a provider great
if they have this capability.
All right, moving on,
let's take a look at
the protection section.
Now, from here, I can turn on things
like anti-spam or the firewall,
but I did notice that the firewall feature
can sometimes interfere
with my VPN connection
whenever I use another standalone VPN app.
So, you might wanna keep that in mind.
And on the topic of VPNs,
the privacy tab is where
you can see their own VPN,
which comes with the Bitdefender
Total Security 2022 plan.
In all honesty, the VPN is,
well, a little lackluster,
at least when compared to standalone apps,
but it's cool to have in case
you don't wanna pay extra
for this tool, or maybe if
you're new to VPNs in general.
Also in this tab,
I can toggle with the
anti tracker settings.
I usually keep this turned
on for my Google Chrome app.
And what's even cooler
is I could set up video
and audio protection from this tab,
that's something even the
Mac version doesn't have yet.
Their website has quite
a transparent list.
So if you're still wondering
if Bitdefender is worth it,
check it out, you can see
everything that you're gonna get.
All right, now, are the
mobile apps very different?
Well, let's quickly do a
Bitdefender 2022 review
for smartphone apps.
And to be fair, the discrepancies
between Android and iOS
are pretty significant.
I honestly think that the iOS version
isn't the best option on the market,
it's basically just a data
checker with a very limited VPN.
It all just kind of falls apart
when compared to the built-in protection
Apple already offers.
But after my Bitdefender
antivirus review for Android,
oh, I was quite impressed.
See, there's a proper dashboard
and a malware scanner.
I also found web protection,
all the things a good
antivirus should offer.
I was even pleasantly surprised
to find the anti-theft and
share protection features here.
It's pretty handy for that
extra security, right?
So, yeah, anyway, those are
pretty much the main things
I wanted to cover
for this Bitdefender
Total Security tutorial.
Oh, and by the way,
if you run into any
issues with Bitdefender,
there's also the help section on the top
and there's user guides
and customer support.
But I truly think, or
at least I truly hope,
that after this Bitdefender Total Security
2022 review and tutorial,
you'll have no problems using the app.
Let me know if that's
the case and subscribe
if this video was helpful
in any way whatsoever.
So, if you haven't yet got the app,
well, you might wanna know
what the plans are, right?
Now, as I said, I use Total Security,
but it can get quite expensive.
Now, if you just don't
have a budget at all,
the Bitdefender free
version is pretty good,
at least for baseline protection.
Now, as far as I know,
the Bitdefender Antivirus Plus package
is the most common choice
since it's a little more affordable.
But again, keep in mind that not all plans
are gonna support Mac devices.
So which one you pick
is completely up to you.
Hopefully this Bitdefender review
made your choice a little bit easier.
To see what Bitdefender offers,
well, you can go through
this box on the side,
it'll automatically apply the best deal
if you decide to get Bitdefender.
All right, I think that's all from my end,
thanks for watching and I'll
see you in the next one.
