    If you are one of the 10 lucky people who already won BitDefender Internet Security 2010 in last week’s contest, you can skip the rest of this post. For the rest of you, if you still want a copy of BitDefender Internet Security 2010 its not too late.

    Call it a consolation prize. This one you have to earn though. Essential Computer Security readers can read my review of BitDefender Internet Security 2010 and get my opinion, but a more diverse collection of opinions provides added credibility and gives users a broader sense of the pros and cons of the software. So, I want you to share your opinion.

    Click on the link below (choose the 32-bit version of the 64-bit version- whichever you need) to download the evaluation version of the software. Install it and run it. Use it for a few days or week. Dig into the configuration settings. Work the software out to figure out what you like or to identify any weaknesses or pet peaves. Then, write your own review and post it as a comment on my original review of the software.

    Be honest. Readers don’t get any value from fluffy praise. Tell us what you think of it. Try to be specific about the features you like and the features you don’t. Share you experience and post your review and you can earn a copy of BitDefender Internet Security 2010.

    The first 50 people to post a review of BitDefender Internet Security 2010 by September 30 will receive a 1-year license for the software. To clarify- there is no prescribed format and you don’t have to like the software (although- iif you don’t, why would you post a review to win a free copy?), but just saying “it rocks!”, or “it sucks” does not qualify as a “review”. Share the kind of information you would want to read if you were trying to make a decision on whether or not to spend your hard-earned money to buy the software.
