I've been using Bitdefender Total Security for years. I have 12 days left to my Total Security subscription. For some reason my Bitdefender app is acting weird like it turned off certain features. Anti-Theft and App Lock are disconfigured. The app recommends turning it on, but the app is acting glitchy as I'm unable to modify it. I wonder if this issue would fix itself magically if I renew my subscription. I cleared my cache and restarted my phone. I'll renew after 12 days and see what happens.

I love this app so much so that as soon as my computer/laptop anti-virus subscriptions end, I will be purchasing a Bitdefender subscription for those devices as well. It has everything I look for in an anti-virus, including VPN services. The user interface is clean. Super importantly, it doesn't take up a ton of storage or RAM like most of their competitors, so the phone's performance and battery life isn't noticeably affected. I highly recommend!

After running manual scan on my Android phone another scan start automatically about a minute later. The latest update seems buggy and I doubt that I'm really protected. VPN stopped working? Customer service is pitiful. I'll probably be looking for lmore reliable protection for my needs. Bitdefender is not the same dependable service it use to be ? What happened ??? Support doesn't even read problems reported. They ask them the same questions even if they have been reported to support via chat
