I have BitDefender on a couple of Windows10 machines and just installed 
the paid version on y phone -- but I haven't yet paid and am still in 
Trial mode. What I've found so far that I don't like is (a) I can't set 
a pattern to unlock apps instead of a PIN; and (b) I can't do a scan 
without disabling my BlueLight filter app -- I had to disable it to 
configure BitDefender also -- so whether it will actually run while I 
have the BlueLight filter active, I don't know.

Maybe I'll go back to Qihoo 360 Security.
