The best. Like most security suites, it wants access and administration permission to do what it wants. Overall, I think it is very good, It has a few glitches for sure. The forum says they are working to fix them. Hopefully an update soon to fix the issues. If you run into browser issues, turn off anti tracking, then turn off VPN if you have it. If that doesn't allow you to access a trusted site, like your email online, turn off the firewall. Customer Service 👍

This is essentially an extension to the Bitdefender mobile security app. Features: locate your phone, lock the phone, sound an alarm, or remotely wipe the phone. Also, this is where you'd send up to 5 DL links to other devices to install Bitdefender. I gave it four stars simply because I think all security apps like this should come with a VPN automatically at the current subscription cost.

This app has almost none of the real functionality as the browser page for bit defender central...it's absolutely useless. Also there is a bug going on for 2 years now where protected devices show up as being unprotected, despite the device showing it is protected when you open bit defender on that device, and bitdefender doesn't have skilled enough developers to get this fixed. It's a joke.*I am already in contact with BD support about this with an open case, for 2 years. BD understand fine.*
