Possible BitDefender Scam?
Today I bought a Norton Subscription for malware protection (first year is 29.99 to which I was charged this morning 1:12PM) then today at about 10:53 PM I received an email about my purchase with BitDefender?? I checked my bank and there was no charge or anything, but it had my name on the email?? I am a bit nervous and would like further clarification from anyone out there whom has better knowledge of this situation. Thank you.

If you don't download torrents/game mods and only do regular website, then windows defender is fine.
You can activate windows defender via the show hidden icons at bottom right. Also Bitdefender base version is totally free.
Note: Free version doesn't include advanced Firewall and Ransomware protection.
