Before installing, Windows Defender and Windows Firewall are disabled as the total security comes with a proprietary one. The whole process of installing took about 5 minutes, with us having to restart our computer afterwards. As soon as that is done, the wizard will ask for a licence key or provide you with a trial key for 30 days. You can then create a Bitdefender account that will give you access to technical support , special offers, promotions, back up, and will allow you to retrieve your key if you ever misplace it.
After the first part of installing is done, users would have to configure your network. You will be asked to add your contacts to your ‘friends' list for its anti-spam and train its anti-spam filter by looking at your outlook folders, choose your preferred user interface, configure your home management, protect and manage sensitive data, control the content from the Internet (Parental Control), send virus reports, update the defender, and run system scans.
We are advising users to read the manual or go visit online forums instead of just clicking ‘Next.' It may seem like eternity to put in your credit card details and other personal information on the ‘Identity Rules,' but it is one of the more important steps to do in order to be protected.
