Pay attention to prompts such as TrafficLight while using Bitdefender overall. Bitdefender prompts you to perform a “one-time scan” of your entire device directly after installation to “make sure it’s threat-free to begin with.” Scanning options for Bitdefender include quick scans, custom scans where you can choose specific files or destinations to scan, and more in-depth, full-system scans. When you perform a scan, Bitdefender checks Apple devices for Windows malware, and vice versa - which could be useful if you regularly transfer data between devices with different operating systems. On a positive note, the Total Security plan comes with a basic version of the Bitdefender VPN and multi-layer ransomware protection that works on all operating systems.īitdefender scans your system much as other antivirus software, but it uses cross-platform malware protection.

Many features left out for Apple products.
