Heck I'd argue you don't even need that when just using Windows Defender if you're careful on the internet.īitdefender can do all that malwarebytes free can do, and more. Use the newly made trial account that is activated.
Go in the Bitdefender software, then in "My account" in the left side menu, at the top right you should see "switch account". You can still register an account with the promo link, get until the part where it ask you to protect your first device (basically downloading bitdefender) and stop there, do not download. "Promo trials" are between 3 to 6 months and you need to use the specific links for them when registering, which are easily found on google all the time, too. The default trial is 1 month if you just download the trial through the product page. The US Government has issued a notice to remove Kaspersky. Bitdefender holds a bigger market share than Avast, according to stats published by independent sources. Also, if you have multiple devices in your household, you’ll find Bitdefender significantly cheaper than Avast. You may have read the current issues with the USA and Russia.

Just need to remember the email and password you've used to sign up until you've got the software installed and you're good to go after that. I've seriously been doing this for over 2 years now. Simply "Switch Account" in the Bitdefender software to the newly made trial account and your trial period is reset. Just by making a new trial account every 3 to 6 months or so, depending on how long you got it for. You can literally use Bitdefender Total Security, for free, perpetually. I used to have an issue with bitdefender's custom SSL, but they seems to have fixed that since 2018.
