After retiring Bitdefender Free, Bitdefender launches Antivirus Free for Windows
An Anonymous Coward writes:
Security company Bitdefender announced last year that it would retire Bitdefender Free at the end of 2021. Now, three months later, the company launched a new free product, called Bitdefender Antivirus Free.
In a surprising move, Bitdefender launched a new free antivirus product for Windows after cancelling the old one just three months earlier.
The company announced the launch of Bitdefender Antivirus Free on the company blog. The blog post reveals that the program has been created from the ground up. Bitdefender Antivirus Free "offers enhanced features, functionality, and improved user experience in comparison to the previous free version" according to Bitdefender.
The free section of the Bitdefender website does not list the new product yet. You need to visit this link to open the page with the download link. The download is small, but the installer requires an Internet connection and will download more than 500 Megabytes when it is run, provided that you allow it to do so. [Ed: The software has not been downloaded and checked. Caveat Emptor]
