Installing LogMeIn Antivirus powered by Bitdefender

See how to install and activate LogMeIn Antivirus on a Windows host.

Note: As a LogMeIn Central user, you can install multiple antivirus software on a host.
Users should have the LogMeIn Central and Antivirus management enabled permissions enabled. To ensure optimal performance, all other anti-virus software, except for Windows Defender must be manually removed from the host. After you have removed your previous antivirus software from your software, do the following:
  1. Log in to your LogMeIn Central account, and go to Antivirus.
  2. Select Manage.
  3. Select the checkbox for each computer where you want to install LogMeIn Antivirus.

    Result: The Actions button is activated at the top of the page.

  4. Select Actions > Install LogMeIn Antivirus.
    • For hosts that are online with no conflicting anti-virus software installed, LogMeIn Antivirus is installed and activated.
    • If conflicting anti-virus software is detected, you must remove it before continuing.
    • If offline hosts are detected, you should bring them online before continuing.
    • The host-side end-user does not need to take action to complete the installation. Host-side users are not interrupted.
What to do next:
Tip: To manage your LogMeIn Antivirus policy, go to the LogMeIn Antivirus menu.

LogMeIn Antivirus remains active as long as a host remains attached to your LogMeIn Central account. Activation renews automatically every 30 days.

As with other LogMeIn Central features, if you have trouble with the LogMeIn Antivirus installation, contact customer support by selecting Contact Support in this article.

Removing LogMeIn Antivirus powered by Bitdefender

LogMeIn Antivirus is a separate software and not removed when you uninstall the Host software from a computer.

When you remove the host software or detach a host from your account, LogMeIn Antivirus remains installed, but does not renew. LogMeIn Antivirus eventually notifies the host-side user that the service is no longer active.

To remove LogMeIn Antivirus from a host, you must manually uninstall it by using Bitdefender's removal tool that you can download here.
