Bitdefender je jedan od najboljih antivirusnih programera na svijetu, a njihovi sigurnosni proizvodi dosljedno korisnicima nude veliku razinu zaštite od svih vrsta sigurnosnih prijetnji. Njihov najnoviji vrhunski sigurnosni proizvod za potrošače - Bitdefender Total Security 2018 - postoji već neko vrijeme i htjeli smo sami vidjeti što nudi i koliko dobro radi. Nakon više od tjedan dana testiranja, evo što smo o tome otkrili u ovoj recenziji:

U čemu je Bitdefender Total Security 2018 dobar?

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 je sigurnosni paket koji je vrlo učinkovit kada je u pitanju:

• Osiguravanje vaših računala i uređaja od bilo kakvog zlonamjernog softvera, i offline i online
• Čuvanje vaših uređaja kada se povezujete na nesigurne mreže
• Pružanje dobro organiziranog korisničkog sučelja koje je dostupno i početnicima i s puno naprednih značajki, alata i postavki za iskusne korisnike

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 u odnosu na Bitdefender Internet Security 2018^{(Bitdefender Internet Security 2018)}

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 je najkompletniji sigurnosni paket koji nudi tvrtka. U usporedbi s lakšom verzijom pod nazivom Bitdefender Internet Security , Total dodaje alate Anti-Theft i OneClick Optimizer , a osim Windows softvera, također vam daje pristup MacOS , Android i iOS antivirusnim aplikacijama. S obzirom na prilično malu razliku u cijeni, vjerujemo da je Bitdefender Total Security 2018 bolja ponuda od Bitdefender Internet Security 2018 paketa. Međutim, oba proizvoda su izvrsna, a trebali biste odabrati onaj koji najbolje odgovara vašim potrebama.

Za i protiv

Kada gledate Bitdefender Total Security 2018 , postoje mnoge pozitivne osobine:

• Antivirusni mehanizam je izuzetno dobar, a zlonamjerni softver ga ne može lako zaobići
• Web štit blokira sve opasne web stranice koje biste mogli pokušati posjetiti u bilo kojem web-pregledniku koji koristite
• Modul vatrozida je vrlo učinkovit kada se povezujete s javnim mrežama i može se nositi sa svim mrežnim prijetnjama
• Korisničko sučelje ima prekrasan i dosljedan dizajn i lako je pronaći svoj put kroz njega
• Većina alata u paketu je korisna, a posebno cijenimo Bitdefender VPN rješenje koje može pomoći korisnicima da budu sigurniji kada se povezuju na nepouzdane javne mreže kao što su kafići ili WiFi u zračnim lukama

Nemamo se što zamjeriti Bitdefender Total Security 2018^{(Bitdefender Total Security 2018)} , koji se pokazao kao jedan od najboljih antivirusnih proizvoda koje smo ikada pregledali.

Presuda

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 je sigurnosni proizvod koji se već dugi niz godina nalazi na "vrhu prehrambenog lanca". Bitdefender antivirusni proizvod može se pohvaliti visokom učinkovitošću kada vas štiti od zlonamjernog softvera, korisničko sučelje izgleda sjajno i lako ga koriste kako početnici tako i stručnjaci. Također, ovaj proizvod ima zanemariv negativan utjecaj na performanse vašeg računala. Svidio nam se njegov modul vatrozida i bogatstvo uključenih dodatnih značajki, a cijenimo i činjenicu da uključuje osnovnu VPN uslugu za zaštitu korisnika pri povezivanju na javne bežične mreže. Naša je odluka da ne možete pogriješiti s kupnjom Bitdefender Total Security 2018 i toplo ga preporučujemo svim našim čitateljima.

Iskustvo preuzimanja i instalacije

Ako želite dobiti Bitdefender Total Security 2018 , prva stvar koju morate učiniti je stvoriti račun na web stranici, koji zatim možete koristiti za upravljanje i kontrolu svih svojih pretplata na Bitdefender i zaštićenih uređaja. Čak i ako je sve što želite preuzeti i instalirati probnu verziju Bitdefender Total Security 2018 , još uvijek morate kreirati ovaj račun. Da biste ga stvorili, morate dati Bitdefenderu^{(Bitdefender)} ime, adresu e-pošte i također odabrati lozinku.

Nakon što to učinite, možete preuzeti instalacijski program, koji je izvršna datoteka pod nazivom bitdefender_windows_[activation_key].exe . Trebao bi imati veličinu od samo 10,6 MB. Međutim, kada ga pokrenete, instalacijski čarobnjak preuzima još 430,8 MB podataka s Bitdefenderovih^{(Bitdefender)} poslužitelja. To je puno i, ako imate lošu internetsku vezu, to bi moglo potrajati.

Nakon što se preuzmu svi potrebni podaci, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 započinje instalaciju. Ovo je jedini korak koji vam omogućuje da malo prilagodite postavke: možete odabrati "Slanje anonimnih izvješća"^{("Send anonymous reports")} na Bitdefender i možete odabrati jezik koji se koristi.

Kliknite Instaliraj^(Install) i Bitdefender Total Security 2018 pokreće proces instalacije. Tijekom tog vremena, paket također pokreće brzo skeniranje antivirusnog sustava kako bi se uvjerio da je vaše računalo čisto od zlonamjernog softvera. Ako sve ide dobro i vaše računalo nije sporo, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 trebao bi biti pokrenut za otprilike minutu ili dvije.

Kada je instalacija spremna, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 učitava svoje korisničko sučelje i zaštitne module. Nema potrebe za ponovnim pokretanjem Windows računala jer vas sigurnosni paket može odmah zaštititi. Za minutu ili dvije Bitdefender također pokreće automatsko ažuriranje, što je dobra stvar jer osigurava da dobijete najnoviju zaštitu od samog početka. Na našem testnom računalu ovo ažuriranje značilo je preuzimanje još 60 MB. Da bi se ažuriranje primijenilo, sigurnosnom paketu je potrebno ponovno pokretanje sustava.

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 je sigurnosni paket koji se lako instalira na vaše računalo. Međutim, od vas se zahtijeva da navedete osobne podatke koji su potrebni za izradu mrežnog računa za vas. Također, da biste ga instalirali, morate preuzeti dosta podataka s Bitdefendera. Iako antivirusni program ne treba ponovno podizanje sustava da bi vas počeo štititi, zahtijeva ponovno pokretanje da bi se primijenilo prvo ažuriranje.^{(Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is a security suite that is easy to install on your computer. However, it requires you to provide personal information which is needed to create an online account for you. Also, to install it, you have to download quite a bit of data from Bitdefender. Although the antivirus does not need a system reboot to start protecting you, it requires a restart for the first update to be applied.)}

Integracija sa sustavom Windows^(Windows) , web preglednicima i univerzalnim aplikacijama za Windows platformu

Tijekom procesa instalacije Bitdefender Total Security 2018 automatski onemogućuje Windows Defender i Windows vatrozid^{(Windows Firewall)} , čime se eliminiraju mogući sukobi i problemi s performansama koji bi mogli nastati. Bitdefender Total Security 2018 također se dobro integrira sa Windows 10 u pogledu umrežavanja - nismo imali problema prilikom stvaranja ili pridruživanja matičnoj grupi^(homegroup) u lokalnoj mreži, niti kada smo koristili univerzalne aplikacije Windows platforme^{(Windows platform apps)} .

Modul vatrozida uključen u Bitdefender Total Security 2018 sposoban je detektirati mrežni profil koji ste postavili u sustavu Windows^(Windows) i prema tome automatski prilagođava razinu zaštite. Vrijedno je spomenuti da vam također omogućuje da ručno promijenite profil mreže ako to želite.

Kada je u pitanju vaša online sigurnost, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 odlučuje vas zaštititi skeniranjem i filtriranjem cijelog internetskog prometa koji ide na vaše računalo. Ne uključuje nikakva dodatna sigurnosna proširenja web preglednika, i to nam se sviđa.

Još jedna stvar koju smo provjerili je koliko je Bitdefender Total Security 2018 povećao vrijeme pokretanja našeg testnog računala. Da bismo to učinili, instalirali smo BootRacer i izmjerili vrijeme pokretanja prije i nakon instaliranja sigurnosnog paketa. Bitdefender Total Security 2018 nije imao nikakav negativan učinak na vrijeme pokretanja našeg testnog računala, i to je sjajno. Također, sigurnosnom paketu bilo je potrebno samo 263 MB RAM-a^(RAM) na našem testnom sustavu za pokretanje svojih temeljnih procesa. To je prosječna potrošnja RAM-a za moderna računala.^(RAM)

Kako bismo provjerili utječe li na brzinu interneta ili lokalne mreže Bitdefender Total Security 2018 , također smo izvršili nekoliko testova sa Speedtest.net i LAN Speed ​​Testom^{(LAN Speed Test)} . Testovi koje smo proveli sa Speedtest.net pokazali su da sigurnosni paket nije utjecao ni na preuzimanje ni na brzinu prijenosa. Međutim, testovi koje smo proveli s LAN Speed ​​Testom^{(LAN Speed Test)} pokazali su da je brzina prijenosa za kopiranje datoteke putem lokalne mreže bila sporija za 6 posto nakon instalacije Bitdefendera^{(Bitdefender)} . To znači da sigurnosni paket ima mali negativan učinak na brzine mrežnog prijenosa, ali ne i na internetske prijenose podataka.

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 je sigurnosni paket koji je dobro integriran sa sustavom Windows i svim njegovim mrežnim značajkama. Velika je pozitiva i činjenica da ne usporava vaše računalo. S druge strane, čini se da usporava brzinu kopiranja podataka u lokalnim mrežama.^{(Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is a security suite that is well integrated with Windows and all its networking features. The fact that it does not slow down your computer is also a big positive. On the other hand, it does appear to be slowing down the speed of copying data in the local networks.)}

Jednostavnost korištenja i konfiguracije

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 nudi dobro osmišljeno korisničko sučelje, koje je jednostavno za korištenje, lako za razumijevanje i navigaciju, kao i ugodno za oko. Svaka radnja u Bitdefender Total Security 2018 počinje sa središnje konzole, koja koristi Bitdefenderovu^{(Bitdefender)} uobičajenu paletu tamno sive, bijele, prirodno zelene i moćne crvene boje.

Naravno, sve ovisi o tome gdje se nalazite u korisničkom sučelju i kakvo je stanje sigurnosti na vašem računalu. Na primjer, njegovi glavni moduli koriste tamno sive pozadine, postavke koriste bijelu pozadinu, a važne poruke su zelene kada je sve u redu i crvene kada postoji prijetnja kojoj treba obratiti pozornost.

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 koristi puno pločica i prekidača u svom korisničkom sučelju. To ga čini jednostavnim za korištenje i na zaslonima osjetljivim na dodir, pa će ga također cijeniti korisnici Windows tableta ili 2-u-1.

Ako vam je potrebna pomoć, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 vam daje poseban, namjenski odjeljak samo za to. Dokumentacija se nalazi online na Bitdefenderovoj^{(Bitdefender)} web stranici, ali, ako želite zatražiti podršku, možete to učiniti izravno iz odjeljka Podrška u ^(Support)Bitdefender Total Security 2018 . Ako više volite razgovarati izravno s čovjekom, možete se priključiti internetu i kontaktirati Bitdefenderove^{(Bitdefender)} stručnjake za podršku putem e-pošte, foruma, chata i također telefonom.

Što se tiče upozorenja i obavijesti, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 je sigurnosni proizvod koji vas obavještava svaki put kada se nešto značajno događa na vašem računalu. U vremenskom okviru u kojem smo koristili ovaj proizvod vidjeli smo upozorenja kada su otkrivene prijetnje zlonamjernog softvera, kao i obavijesti o nekim prijetnjama vatrozida, slične onoj na donjoj slici.

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 uključuje detaljne, ali lako razumljive zapise. Iako možete vidjeti zapisnik antivirusnog skeniranja koji ste pokrenuli kada to skeniranje završi, zapisnicima možete pristupiti i putem odjeljka Obavijesti s korisničkog sučelja.^{(Notifications)}

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 je sigurnosni paket koji nudi korisničko sučelje s dobro osmišljenim dizajnom, koje uspijeva izgledati sjajno i biti jednostavno za korištenje u isto vrijeme. Nudi jednostavnost i mnoštvo postavki i opcija, tako da ga podjednako mogu cijeniti i početnici i iskusni korisnici. S naše točke gledišta, dizajneri korisničkog sučelja iz Bitdefendera odradili su izvanredan posao.^{(Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is a security suite that offers a user interface with a well thought out design, which manages to look great and be easy to use at the same time.

Security for everyone - Review Bitdefender Total Security

Bitdefendеr is one of the best antiνiruѕ developers in the world, and their security products have consistently offered users a great level of protection against all kinds of security threats. Thеir lаtest top security product for cоnsumers - Bitdefender Total Security 2018 - has been out for quite some time now and we wanted to see for ourselves what it has to offer and how well it performs. After more than a week of testing, here is what we have found about it, in this review:

What is Bitdefender Total Security 2018 good at?

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is a security suite that is highly efficient when it comes to:

• Securing your computers and devices from any malware, both offline and online
• Guarding your devices when you connect to unsafe networks
• Providing a well-organized user interface that is both accessible to beginners and with lots of advanced features, tools, and settings for experienced users

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 vs. Bitdefender Internet Security 2018

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is the most "complete" security suite offered by the company. When compared to the lighter version called Bitdefender Internet Security, the Total adds the Anti-Theft and OneClick Optimizer tools, and besides the Windows software, it is also giving you access to MacOS, Android, and iOS antivirus apps. Considering the rather small difference in price, we believe that the Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is a better deal than the Bitdefender Internet Security 2018 suite. However, both products are excellent, and you should choose the one that best fits your needs.

Pros and cons

When looking at Bitdefender Total Security 2018, there are many positive traits:

• The antivirus engine is extremely good, and malware cannot get past it easily
• The web shield blocks any dangerous websites you might try to visit, in any web browser you are using
• The firewall module is highly efficient when you connect to public networks, and it can handle any network threats
• The user interface has a beautiful and consistent design, and finding your way through it is easy
• Most bundled tools are useful, and we especially appreciate the Bitdefender VPN solution which can help users be more safe when they connect to untrustworthy public networks such as the coffee shops or airports WiFi

We have nothing to complain about Bitdefender Total Security 2018, which has proven to be one of the best antivirus products that we have ever reviewed.

Verdict

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is a security product that has found itself at the "top of the food chain" for many years now. The Bitdefender antivirus engine product boasts high effectiveness when protecting you from malware, the user interface looks great and is easy to use by beginners and experts alike. Also, this product has a negligible negative impact on your computer's performance. We liked its firewall module and the wealth of extra features included, and we appreciate the fact that it includes a basic VPN service to protect users when connecting to public wireless networks. Our verdict is that you cannot go wrong with purchasing Bitdefender Total Security 2018 and we highly recommend it to all our readers.

The download and installation experience

If you want to get Bitdefender Total Security 2018, the first thing you have to do is create an account on the website, which you can then use to manage and control all your Bitdefender subscriptions and protected devices. Even if all you want is to download and install a trial version of Bitdefender Total Security 2018, you still have to create this account. To create it, you must provide Bitdefender with a name, an email address and also choose a password.

Once you have done that, you can download the installer, which is an executable file named bitdefender_windows_[activation_key].exe. It should have a size of only 10.6MB. However, when you launch it, the installation wizard downloads another 430.8MB of data from Bitdefender's servers. It is a lot and, if you have a poor internet connection, this might take a while.

Once all the required data is downloaded, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 begins its installation. This is the only step that lets you customize the setup a bit: you can choose to "Send anonymous reports" to Bitdefender, and you can select the language used.

Click Install and Bitdefender Total Security 2018 starts the installation process. During this time, the suite also runs a quick antivirus system scan to make sure that your computer is clean from malware. If all goes well and your computer is not slow, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 should be up and running in about a minute or two.

When the installation is ready, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 loads its user interface and protection modules. There is no need to reboot your Windows computer, as the security suite can protect you immediately. In a minute or two, the Bitdefender also starts an automatic update, which is a good thing as it makes sure that you get the latest protection right from the start. On our test computer, this update meant the download of another 60MB. For the update to be applied, the security suite needed a system reboot.

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is a security suite that is easy to install on your computer. However, it requires you to provide personal information which is needed to create an online account for you. Also, to install it, you have to download quite a bit of data from Bitdefender. Although the antivirus does not need a system reboot to start protecting you, it requires a restart for the first update to be applied.

Integration with Windows, web browsers and universal Windows platform apps

During its installation process, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 automatically disables Windows Defender and Windows Firewall, thus eliminating the possible conflicts and performance issues that could arise. Bitdefender Total Security 2018 also integrates well with Windows 10 regarding networking - we had no issues when creating or joining a homegroup in the local network, nor when we used universal Windows platform apps.

The firewall module included in Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is capable of detecting the network profile you have set in Windows, and it automatically adjusts its protection level accordingly. It is worth mentioning that it also lets you change the network profile manually if you want to.

When it comes to your online security, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 chooses to protect you by scanning and filtering all the internet traffic that goes on your computer. It does not bundle any additional security web browser extensions, and we like that.

Another thing we checked is how much Bitdefender Total Security 2018 increased our test computer's boot time. To do that, we installed BootRacer and measure the boot times before and after installing the security suite. Bitdefender Total Security 2018 did not have any negative effect on the boot times of our test computer, and that is great. Also, the security suite needed only 263 MB of RAM on our test system to run its core processes. That is an average RAM consumption for modern computers.

To check whether the internet or local network speeds are affected by Bitdefender Total Security 2018, we also ran a few tests with Speedtest.net and with LAN Speed Test. The tests that we ran with Speedtest.net showed that neither the download or the upload speed were affected by the security suite. However, the tests that we ran with LAN Speed Test showed that the upload speed for copying a file through the local network was slower by 6 percent after installing Bitdefender. This means that the security suite has a small negative effect on network transfer speeds, but not on internet data transfers.

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is a security suite that is well integrated with Windows and all its networking features. The fact that it does not slow down your computer is also a big positive. On the other hand, it does appear to be slowing down the speed of copying data in the local networks.

Ease of use and configuration

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 offers a well-designed user interface, that is easy to use, easy to understand and navigate, as well as pleasant to the eye. Every action in Bitdefender Total Security 2018 starts from the central console, which uses Bitdefender's usual palette of dark gray, white, nature green and powerful red colors.

Of course, it all depends on where you are in the user interface and what the state of security on your computer is. For instance, its main modules use dark gray backgrounds, the settings use white backgrounds, and important messages are green when everything is all right, and red when there is a threat that needs attention.

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 uses a lot of tiles and switches in its user interface. That makes it easy to use on touchscreens too, so it is also going to be appreciated by users of Windows tablets or 2-in-1s.

If you need help, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 gives you a separate, dedicated section just for that. The documentation is found online on Bitdefender's website but, if you want to ask for support, you can do that straight from the Support section of Bitdefender Total Security 2018. If you prefer to talk directly with a human, you can go online and contact Bitdefender's support specialists via email, forums, chat and also by phone.

Regarding alerts and notifications, Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is a security product that lets you know each time something meaningful is taking place on your computer. In the time frame in which we used this product, we saw alerts when malware threats were detected, as well as notifications about some firewall threats, similar to the one in the image below.

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 includes detailed but easy to understand logs. Although you can see the log of an antivirus scan you ran when that scan ends, you can also access logs via the Notifications section from the user interface.

Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is a security suite that offers a user interface with a well thought out design, which manages to look great and be easy to use at the same time. It offers both simplicity and a wealth of settings and options, so both beginners and experienced users can equally appreciate it. From our point of view, the user interface designers from Bitdefender have done an outstanding job.

On the next page of this review, you can see how capable Bitdefender Total Security 2018 is to protect your computer from network attacks and malware. You can also see what additional features are included in this security suite, and check our recommendations for what settings you should adjust.
