2015 is almost half gone and it’s time for all security software companies to start testing and rolling out new products for the new year. Bitdefender is no different. The company is bringing out a new version of its flagship security product Bitdefender Antivirus, one of the most efficient and reliable antivirus programs. I have used Bitdefender myself for some time before trying out other antivirus products, and I was always very satisfied with its performance. It is constantly ranked at the top of lists of best antivirus and firewall programs.

At the end of the month, Bitdefender Antivirus is releasing Bitdefender 2016 Beta home edition. If you want to be one of the first people to download and test the new software, go to http://www.bitdefender.com/subscribetobeta and add your email address to the waiting list. Once Bitdefender Beta is released, you’ll be among the first people to download and play around with the brand new version. If you have a blog and you feel like writing about it, even better – test the software and publish the results along with your feedback on your website.

I have just added my email to the waiting list and shortly after, I received a confirmation email that I’ll be notified when the product is ready to download. I’m expecting to receive some guidelines for testing and a list of new features in the Bitdefender 2016.

I’m anxious to see what cool new features they have added this time. If I had to criticise the software for anything, it would be the loading time after my windows machine starts. I hope the new version uses fewer resources during start up, specifically less RAM.

I used Bitdefender on a Windows machine only, but upcoming security editions will be available for Windows, Mac OS and Android software.

Have fun testing!
