In their own words

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus Multiplatform protects Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices against malware, ransomware, scams, and other online threats. Real-time detection covers viruses, ransomware, zero-day exploits, rootkits, and spyware. Web protection blocks phishing and fake-shop sites, and layered ransomware protection safeguards documents, pictures, videos, and music from encryption. On Windows PCs, Vulnerability Assessment checks for outdated or vulnerable software, missing Windows security patches, and potentially unsafe settings. Data Breach Detection checks whether email addresses have appeared in known third-party breaches. The included basic VPN allows 200 MB of traffic per day per device; unlimited traffic requires adding Premium VPN. Plans are listed for one or three devices: the first-year prices are $24.99 a year and $29.99 a year, respectively, plus applicable sales tax for the Multiplatform plans. Subscriptions may renew automatically. The maker offers a 30-day full trial without a credit card, says assistance is available 24/7, and says customers may request a refund within 30 days of purchase or renewal.
