Can anyone recommend me how to do so? Ive contacted the Bitdefender support 3 times and they always say they will email me instructions how to uninstall but I never hear from them!
My low star review is because it has slowed my computer and I dont think that its worth using this for the features it claims to provide if the trade off is for that.

Wow, this little beast is a memory hog.
True, it didn't cause my MacBook Pro any noticeable performance degradation but that kind of memory use for one process IS excessive especially when going on continuously,
So I uninstalled BD and will stick with ClamX for now.
But you're saying "There are no viruses for Macs out there currently" and your right but it's just a matter of time before one or more are unleashed upon us and and I think it prudent to have some protection and be familiar with using it.

I know that most people think, that a Mac don't needs a scanner.
I don't think so. I want to be prepared.
For real time protection, I would say either Nod32 or Sophos are your best options for the Mac. Nod32 is the best for both Mac and Windows, but is paid software. Sophos is good enough for most people and is free. Both of these do not consume the system resources that Bit Defender does.

As far as I know, it's the only program around that includes all three functions.
I gave it a test run and found it not particularly fast. Perhaps the inclusion of ant-phishing and anti-spyware functions slows Bit Defender down. Anyway, it seems to be pretty thorough......it claimed to find and delete 6 java related cooties on my Mac.
Bit Defender is NOT free as stated here but $40 for a one year's license, $60 for two years and $90 for three years.....a bit pricey but in line with other anti-virus software.
With the malware threat to Macs increasing, it does make sense to consider some protection and have it on hand.
Looks like Bit Defender's anti-phishing and anti-spyware functions give it a leg up on other anti virus software.
I just might go for it if it were available at a discount such as a MU Promo.

I ran the virus scan and it came up with nothing.
I know that there are currently no real virus threats for Mac, but I like to keep an anti virus program on hand for the day when there is a threat.....sooner or later one will rear its ugly head.
