At 09/12 of 2021 we announced Bitdefender's decision to stop releasing the free Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition application.
The decision of our company was announced with an email stating:
“The decision to discontinue a product is never easy. This is especially true when a product is as popular as our Free Edition product has been in recent years. Since the beginning of 2020, we've had to deal with massive changes in our industry, changes that have upended many of our cherished plans for product development. Unfortunately, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition was a casualty of these changes. As of January 1, 2022, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition will be officially discontinued and no longer available for use.”
But a move by Bitdefender pleased many as it continued to offer its free protection product for Windows devices just three months after the first app was cancelled.
The company then announced the launch of Bitdefender Antivirus Free on corporate blog. The post states that the app has been built from scratch.
Bitdefender Antivirus Free “offers enhanced features, better functionality and improved user experience compared to the previous free version” according to Bitdefender.
So today Bitdefender Antivirus Free 27.0.41.199 version for Windows, Mac and Android was released

- Download: Bitdefender Antivirus Free 27.0.41.199 | 17.6 MB (Freeware)
I put it on an AsRock z270, cpu 7700k with Windows 11 X-Lite 24H2 and M2 500GB, Ram 16GB and I haven't had any problems until now even though I run 2 virtual machines one for Game and one for OS me ISO. It goes well and without sticking!
The only thing he wants is for you to create an account on their page (no need to buy, just login), after you login, he downloads something extra to run properly!! (you can turn off ads in Settings).
Good but heavy program,
I had it on an old computer and it was getting the disk to 100%, I put another one and the disk goes normally.
