Bitdefender Antivirus continues to remain a top-performing security suite that improves over time by adjusting to your computer usage and performance.

Bitdefender’s latest version sheds the yearly version identity and brings back the same expected arsenal of security tricks and tweaks that made version 2013 so competitive among the AV crowd. Features like MyBitdefender return to address the rising demand for multidevice protection as many other rivals like Norton and AVG have followed suit.

Bitdefender’s cost has gone up for each of its products across the board: Antivirus Plus now retails for $49.95, Internet Security for $69.95, and Total Security for $79.95. Internet Security shows the greatest price hike, at $20 more, putting it at the cost of last year’s Total Security suite.

Installation didn’t take long but updates can take some time. After installation, Bitdefender will enable an autopilot mode and auto-gaming mode by default for a hands-off maintenance approach. It’ll then follow up with a preliminary system scan to check for any existing infections.

Bitdefender dubs its new adaptive technology “Photon” and claims that the security program learns and adapts to your system’s performance. It does this by monitoring the various applications and programs you already have installed and “learns” what kind of configurations are standard vs. those that are tampered with by malware. The result is reducing the load on the scanner and shortening times. Our first initial system scans averaged around 20 minutes but subsequent following scans took about two and a half minutes:

Full Scan times (Initial, post-Photon in minutes)

• Antivirus plus: 21:38, 2:50
• Internet Security: 20:54, 2:47
• Total Security: 22:45, 2:48

AV-Test has yet to release their results for this year’s Bitdefender; Version 2013 scored 6/6 in protection and useability with 5/6 for performance. Cinebench scores for processor load scored as follows:

Cinebench

• Antivirus plus: 17292
• Internet Security: 17287
• Total Security: 17329

In AV Comparatives, Bitdefender scored second highest in real-world protection test at 99.8 percent, ousted only by Trend Micro. Bitdefender also had a score of 2.4 in their system impact test on AV Comparatives; though bested by Symantec, Kaspersky, and Avast!, it still remained in the top 10.

Boot time, Shutdown time (in seconds)

• Antivirus plus: 44.73, 10.27
• Internet Security: 44.75, 9.08
• Total Security: 45.07, 11.45

Conclusion

Though it might be at least a month or two before all of 2014’s test results get published, current performance along with our own findings suggest a trajectory toward maintaining efficacy in overall protection.

Bitdefender is a malware and antivirus solution for Mac. With the recent prevalence of Mac viruses, a good malware protection program like Bitdefender is an essential part of any Mac ecosystem.

Pros

No slowdown: Bitdefender ran smoothly in the background, without having any noticeable effect on the rest of the Mac.

Clear options: Some virus protection software is too complicated for the beginner to use effectively. Bitdefender is very straightforward, with three clear options when the program first launches. You can scan custom locations, do a full system scan, or scan a specific location.

Automatic virus definition updates: Bitdefender allows you to request that it update automatically to its virus database. Each update ran smoothly in the background.

Cons

Lack of scheduling options: A full system scan takes a great deal of time and computer resources. The lack of off-peak hour scheduling is unfortunate, as you usually don’t want to initiate this yourself at a time when you want to be using your computer.

Bottom Line

Bitdefender is certainly a competent and useful protection tool for Mac. The lack of some advanced features seen in other solutions of this type, such as scheduling, is frustrating. However, it does work well, and doesn’t seem to be overly taxing on a computer’s resources.

Editors’ note: This is a review of the trial version of Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac 3.1.
