blank Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Just found this link, and there seems to be a day left on the giveaway. Free 1-Year License Bitdefender Total Security 2015 (100% discount) Normally $69.95 Sale (givaway) ends in 1 day 21 hrs 43 mins Only drawback is the page is in German, or something. but it was easie for me to figure out, just put your email in the obvious box and do the capatcha (original link i got the offer from, but may be skippable by going to direct link below) http://sharewareonsale.com/s/bitdefender-total-security-giveaway-sale Direct Link (should work) http://www.bitdefender.de/media/html/chip2015/ The page is in German, but the key can be used on the English version. The link in the bitdefender email will be for for the German version, but the following links should work for english version. English Version links: Download 1: (32-bit) Bitdefender Total Security 2015 http://download.bitdefender.com/windows/desktop/t_security/2015/en-us/bitdefender_ts_18_32b.exe Download 2: (64-bit) Bitdefender Total Security 2015 http://download.bitdefender.com/windows/desktop/t_security/2015/en-us/bitdefender_ts_18_64b.exe I got my email with key a sec after i submitted it. Turns out my license i got a few months ago from the last giveaway was still valid (was from a 6 month free offer), and this extended it. Dear Bitdefender user! Your license is currently valid for 6 months. The license will be extended in February to 12 months.

MightyJordan Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thanks! It worked like a charm. :) Just in case anyone's concerned after seeing the license says "180 days" when activating, translated from the email: "Your license is currently valid for 6 months. The license will be extended in February to 12 months." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked like a charm. :) Just in case anyone's concerned after seeing the license says "180 days" when activating, translated from the email: "Your license is currently valid for 6 months. The license will be extended in February to 12 months." Did you use the previous 6 month free giveaway a few months ago? I got the same message, and i only assumed its because i had a few months left of that license. (maybe it goes by email addy used to get the licenses).

I got the same message, and i only assumed its because i had a few months left of that license. (maybe it goes by email addy used to get the licenses). Oh yeah, I might have done. Don't think I installed it though; kept using Windows Defender. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blank Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 wow, I was this close to buy a 2 yr license for $50!! Seems with all these free giveaways for bitdefender, you could go years without actually paying. This is the second one this year i've seen so far, and thats without even actually using (i don't use it, Microsoft Security Essentials works great for me). But i might give this another try. Good thing you were able to save some money today! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Battery Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Thanks, just received my code, will give it a go tonight. Definitely makes waking up at 4.30am and not being able to get sleep, worth it this morning :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_crabman Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Had two false positives after only an hour, noticed some slight slowdowns while browsing and the Steam overlay doesn't work in some games. Also very limited settings/options. Seems to run better than last year's version overall but that's still not good enough imo, already uninstalled it.

blank Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Seems they keep extending this giveaway, or the original site just has the dates wrong and/or is guessing. I've been using this for the past few days. Havent had any false positives or anything pop up really. Hasn't slowed down my system either. I'm fine with it.

Funnily enough, I've got false positives coming up for seven Steam games, too. It's not notified me of any of them; I only found them when I brought up the events log.
