Bitdefender Wins 'Product of the Year' in Independent Testing

Bitdefender, the creator of innovative antivirus software solutions, was awarded Product of the Year by AV-Comparatives for a second time after a year of rigorous independent testing confirmed its world-leading blend of iron-clad protection, ease of use and low system impact.

Bitdefender, which also won the award in 2013, beat out 22 other leading security providers for the top prize, including Symantec, McAfee, AVG, Avira and others.

At the same time that this award recognizes us as the best, it also raises the bar for our performance in 2015.”
