How To Download and Install Bitdefender 2022 Offline

Bitdefender is one of the best security tools to detect and disinfect any kind of viruses and malware. Installing Bitdefender online on your system is pretty simple. But when it comes to offline installations, especially for Bitdefender 2022, you might not find sufficient resources to download it and particular tutorials. Let’s find Bitdefender 2022 offline installer. How to install Bitdefender 2022 offline?

This tutorial is valid for Bitdefender Total Security offline installer, Bitdefender Internet Security offline installer and Bitdefender Antivirus offline installer.

Need of Offline Installation

Before moving forward, let’s see why anyone need an offline installation solution?

• An absence of fast internet connection: Many people have this issue. The computer in which they want to install the Bitdefender, might not have a good internet connection. The setup which typically around 450+ MB takes huge time for slow connection. In few cases, users are using mobile hotspot as an internet connection which is costly for data.
• Frequent re-installations due to PC format: Some users format their system very often, and they need do all the installation procedures again which is the waste of bandwidth.

In both of the cases, users can download the offline installer kit of Bitdefender and save it in a portable storage media such as hard drive and install it anywhere they want.

Things to know before installation:

Even if this is a complete offline installer, you will still need an internet connection for activation of the product. As we already seen that Bitdefender moved to subscription based system, it is necessary to activate the product over the internet. Don’t worry; you can do this by connecting mobile hotspot to your system for a minute and get it activated. I also recommend you to update the antivirus after installation.

So if you want to install it on another PC then please take these two files with you and then copy them to your destination PC.

Step 3: Install Bitdefender 2022 Agent

Disconnect the Internet if any (MUST). Double click on Bitdefender Agent file. (~10MB file) No need of internet in this step.

You may get a screen like Downloading package or may be a direct error window. In both the cases, you just have to close it. Downloading package window: Simply close this window. And that Error Window also.

After closing the above window or in some cases direct you will get this error window: Don’t worry this is correct.

You will get a screen of progress like this.
