Protect your PC for cheap with 78% off Bitdefender Total Security

Antivirus is non-negotiable for a PC. And while Windows’ built-in security is good, you can further increase your protection with an independent security suite, like Bitdefender, on sale in the PCWorld Software Store for just $22.50 during the week of Black Friday, or 78% off.

This deal is for a 1-year subscription to 5 Bitdefender Total Security 2026 devices, which normally costs $110 per year directly through Bitdefender. If you need more devices or a longer subscription duration, you can instead purchase a 1-year 10-device subscription for $40 (64% off) or a 5-device 2-year subscription for $50 (68% off). These licenses are valid for residents of the US, UK and EU.

Bitdefender Total Security’s strongest asset is its antivirus engine, which is also more effective at detecting malware than Windows and many competitors (as shown in tests from trusted security organizations like AV-Comparatives). But it also comes with other additional features, like a firewall with a modern, easy-to-navigate interface; a vulnerability scanner; and more robust parental controls. And it’s also compatible with Android and macOS, in addition to Windows.

Looking for more features? PCWorld’s Software Store is also offering a discount on Norton 360 Deluxe right now, with a 5-device, 15-month subscription priced at $25 (76% off). It’s slightly weaker in malware detection and has less customizable parental controls, but off the shelf you get more features: a password manager, VPN service, and 50GB of cloud storage for backups.

You can check out our Bitdefender Total Security review for a complete overview of how to use it. But don’t wait too long to do your research and make a decision: like all Black Friday deals, this is a limited time offer and won’t last long!
