Netgear Armor just using an old version of Bitdefender?

Is Netgear Armor just using an old version of Bitdefender? My Netgear version  is 24 and the current Bitdefender is 25. Clearly have been security problems blocked in the interim between 24 and 25 and I have been dealing with Bitdefender with a problem that has meant to have been fixed with a new 25 build.

    An interesting question.  My guess is that the questio will be more likely to get an informed response if posted in the community forum for Armor: https://community.netgear.com/t5/NETGEAR-Armor/bd-p/en-home-armor 

    Most of the regular posters in the "plain old Orbi" forum seem not to have activated Armor.  (When I saw, "Free for the first year", that ended my interest.)  Plus, many of the posts are about "issues".  People who have signed up for Armor are more likely to have an answer.

    Good Luck
