Is Bit Defender Total Security 2014 Value M2 (3-PCs/2-Yrs) really 2014? Is it a repackaged 2013? A new version coming soon?

The version I received was 2014. I have installed both the 2013 and 2014 versions of bitdefender. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is different for 2014. It is more integrated into the Windows 8/8.1 Metro theme.

The one that I received was 2013 version. For the 40 something dollar price for three pcs/two year package plus the way it works, I am happy with it.

It's 2013, but updates it's self in its entirety once installed. I like mine.... I give it a 10 out of 10.

The product is for two years both 2013 an 2014. i am not sure of when the newest version is to be introduced. I suppose calling the company to find out exactly what is forthcoming

AFAIK it's really 2014.From what I readed on some forums, the license isn't a restriction to use it with other versions of bit defender total security 2014 (before buying this, I bought a bit defender total security 2013 and I used that one with toal security 2014 without problems)

It looks like the 2013 control panel with new features added. To be honest I turned most of the features off because it slowed my fast laptop (I7 3.2 ghz w/ 16 gbs ram 500 gb ssd win7)to a crawl. No viviruses yet. I have not found virus protection that did not slow down a pc. If you buy it tweak it till your comfortable with performance vs protection.

There are a few newer features, and a new look to the program. In the past BD has given out free upgrades to current software owners as well, so next year there's a chance of getting 2015 for free if you get this two year license. - owner since 2010.

You are probably going to pay for the product cd one way or another. I would go directly to Bitdefender, or look on Amazon for the best deal from Bitdefender for the machines you want to cover with the Total Security Suite and get the CD so you have it. I am sure that you can go to the Bitdefender site and with a credit card and/or PayPal, or the Amazon equivalent of PayPal, you can download the product and the key with delivery of the CD in the mail. I assume this. One key applies to the package you are purchasing...that is, the same key for the three machines, etc. They have a new downloadable version for the Windows 8 and 8.1 environment that works very well, and when the 8.1 environment is released in October, they will be up to speed with that release as well. I think Bitdefender realizes that they have a great product and will do everything in their power to maintain their foothold in the Internet security market protection arena. I hope that this helps you.

FINALLY! Let me check over the weekend. It was an expired cert in the ask client (I think OEM went under) be cautiously optimistic but wait for a post. Thanks for the indirect heads up btw

My previous version of this software ran for 365 days from install. I'm assuming the same for the 2013 version otherwise they would have real problems in selling the 2013 version for the rest of this year.

This program was recommended to me by an IT person who likes that it isn't a drain on system resources, like Norton. I was using Norton and then switched to Microsoft Security Essentials, which is free. I was told that MSE didn't perform as well as it used to and may have vulnerabilities. Bitdefenders offered very good coverage and could be set to run on auto pilot. I've been using the program for several months and feel it is good. There are features that I haven't explored, and should. I should also mention that online reviews placed Bitdefender as the top program. I hope this was somewhat helpful to you.

No, this one is only antivirus. You'll want one of their "Security" editions instead.

3.0 is a newer version, hasn't been sitting on the shelf as long. Both are discontinued.

Yes, but - remember - after April 8, 2014, support and security updates for Windows XP will no longer be available. Explore what this means for you. I spent about $100.00 on those 2X512 RDRAM, and now have to get a new PC anyway. I hope I was helpful.

Would appreciate someone explaining significance of playing UMS/MSC on 2000 but not MTP. I have 2000 and only need the device to provide stored music (CD'S and downloaded stuff including protected WMA) input for my stero system.

I am waiting for the drop too...it seems the product is old now as I see a link for a newer version that has only 4 gigs of RAM..useless

I bought the 2014 version then downloaded the 2015 version from Bitdefender's site. It was a free upgrade for me.

I ordered mine back in May 2014, and it came with 1.8 in the box, and as soon as I registered my copy of 1.8 NI sent me a reg code for 2.0.I'm pretty sure that it will either come with 2.0 in the box or allow for a download. Version 2.2 is supposed to be out in November 2014.

Mr. Fisher Let the Norton 360 expire, and please do not renew from Norton because you will be paying higher price. Also, Norton 360 allows you to backup data in the server: a service you are paying and perhaps will never use since the space provided is not big enough. I remove 360 and bought Norton Antivirus instead from Amazon and it only cost me $25.00 for 3pcs. To answer your question, why give them your money early? Don't purchase now!

How do find out if the BD-P1400 is a 1.0 or 1.1, I was looking at the tech stuff and don't seem to find it anywhere?

It doesn't say on the device or package. My computer recognizes it as 2.0. This design has been around since before 3.0 existed, so my guess is that it is 2.0

yup. the physical size from 2013-2014 hasn't changed. Only the software has

It is 32 bit and unUseable, because the Actvation time is out and or it is a OEM version with no product number.In wich you will be riped of. What is funny the sellers act as if it has value. Typical fraud.
