**Personal Side Note: My netbook started acting up in mid-July, and I didn’t think much of it until I was unable to open programs, close programs, or do any normal word processing or work online. (Clearly in denial, right?) I have to admit, the computer was only protected by free anti-malware programs I downloaded onto the device, but those programs did come highly recommended to me by several of my techie relatives. When things got really bad, I reached out to Leticia Barr, my trusty friend (and Chief BitMom).

Leticia suggested I install BitDefender Total Security onto the computer, which I immediately did. I was in awe of how user-friendly the program was, how quickly it scanned, and how thoroughly it ‘cleaned’ my netbook. With the incredibly supportive BitDefender team and awesome BitDefender software, I was able to restore our dear netbook back to good health. I am now a total convert; BitDefender may not be as familiar as other internet security programs here in the US, but I’m a firm believer that once word gets out about how this program knocks others right out of the ballpark, the game will be over. I totally and completely recommend BitDefender to anyone in the market for internet and/or computer security.

This giveaway is open for entry until August 31st, 2010 and is a sponsored post on behalf of BitDefender. However, my feelings and opinions as expressed in the above paragraphs are completely my own, typed on my happy, healthy netbook thanks to BitDefender Total Security.
