Are there any discounts for Bitdefender?
Bitdefender will regularly discount the first year of a plan for new subscriptions, and also offers discounts for customers renewing their plans as well.
What's included in a Bitdefender subscription?
Depending on your plan, you can get protection for 3 or 5 devices across Windows, MacOS, Android and iOS. Bitdefender's Antivirus Plus is the basic plan, with standard protection for 3 Windows PCs against malware, web attacks and ransomware, whereas the Total Security plan covers 5 devices with additional parental controls and multi-platform support. You can also add VPN Premium as an additional cost to your chosen subscription.
Does Bitdefender offer a free trial?
Bitdefender offers a 30-day free trial for a range of its antivirus solutions. All you have to do is download the software and install it on your device. After the 30-days is up, you'll need to subscribe to one of Bitdefender's plans to continuing using the software.
Does a Bitdefender plan come with a VPN?
You can add VPN Premium to any plan for an additional cost, and it typically has a discount for the first year of your subscription.
Can I get a refund for my Bitdefender subscription?
Bitdefender will refund any cancelled plans so long as you email refunds@bitdefender.com within 30 days of your purchase or automatic renewal date.
Is Norton or Bitdefender better?
Having spent significant time with both antivirus solutions and putting them to the test, we feel well equipped to answer this question. While Norton is a really good protection tool, Bitdefender is the clear choice. Earning 5 stars in our Bitdefender Antivirus review, the only issues we had were that scans took some time, a lack of file encryption and limits on VPN usage. Norton, however, lost files during scans, had issues with the VPN kill switch, was missing key tools and is quite expensive after the first 12 months. Bitdefender is the better Antivirus security for most users.
Is Bitdefender owned by Microsoft?
No. While Bitdefender is one of the best Antivirus softwares for Microsoft Windows, it is not owned by Microsoft. Founded by Florin Talpes and developed by his company Softwin, Bitdefender was formally known as AVX before Softwin changed its name in 2007. It remains owned by the Romanian cybersecurity company, with their headquarters located in Bucharest.
Hints and tips
Shop during back to school sales: January is the time when the best antivirus deals are offered, and that's because it's when the back to school sales kick off. While you can find a saving on Bitdefender throughout the whole year, the biggest savings tend to be right as school's returning. You might also find a solid discount on a Bitdefender plan during the end of financial year sales and Black Friday as well.
Take advantage of the 30-day free trial: Before locking into a plan, test out the 30-day free trial of the Bitdefender antivirus software you're interested in. This will give you a test run before parting with any cash, and give you access to the service as if you were already on a subscription.
Look for renewal discounts and benefits: Bitdefender will sometimes offer returning customers discounts and extra bonuses when renewing or upgrading their subscription. The Bitdefender renewal page has all the details, with up to 60% off plans and even access to premium services such as a VPN and password manager for current customers who chose to upgrade.

How we source coupon codes
Whether it’s through our affiliate networks, the depths of the world wide web, or our connections with big name brands, here at TechRadar we use every tool at our disposal to source the latest codes. Our coupons team updates each of our pages multiple times a week with the most recent deals, including exclusive coupons negotiated by our Commercial team. We also include the latest sales info directly from retailers to offer the most up-to-date discounts around.
How we test coupon codes
Each coupon you find on TechRadar has been tested before being uploaded by our dedicated Deals & Offers teams. You’ll see a range of offers, from free shipping to student discounts, with savings available on all kinds of products and services. To make sure every coupon is ready to use, we don’t list any user-specific or one-time codes.
We also include all relevant information about coupons, such as expiry dates and any terms & conditions, near the ‘Get Code’ button. You can see the details for an individual offer by clicking on the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text below the code and expanding the code area.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
Although we do our best to ensure all listed codes are tried and tested, sometimes coupons expire or T&Cs are changed before we can update pages. Our team works hard to make sure our coupons are active and work as intended, and should you encounter an issue when using one, we’ll work just as hard to help.
The best place to start is by checking the requirements. Click “View terms and conditions” to expand the code section and see any guidance on your chosen coupon. For example, you may need to meet a minimum spend, add other items to your basket to qualify for a multi-buy offer, or confirm that your chosen code applies to the items in your basket (i.e. 10% off laptops).
If you’re still having issues using your code, you can email our coupons team on ecommau@futurenet.com. Include as many details as possible – such as which code you used and which coupon page it’s listed on so our team can address your issue as fast as possible.
How we make money
When it comes to coupons, TechRadar earns money via a commission-based model. For every brand we have a coupon page for, we’ve negotiated a deal that means we earn a percentage of total basket value in commission back from every order.
Using this model means we can offer our coupons to our customers free of charge. You won’t pay any fees to add your chosen coupon to your basket – you’ll simply pay the final order total once your discount has been applied.
