Yah, no, anyone who uses Iobit for an antivirus is nuts.
BD engine is a top quality antivirus engine known to be having some downsides, like increasing RAM usage (in most cases it may not matter). I wouldn’t say it’s useless but Bitdefender offers various engines. For a complete solution they should either all be licensed from them or developed in-house. In this case additional technology is just missing. Just with the antivirus SDK you can only do so much.The BD engine is almost useless
It used to have Bitdefender engine before.is it time for a retest? The new version has avira engine as well. I imagine it's just the signatures without the cloud protection though.
It still does. I misspoke when I said avira, but it does have it's own engine and cloud now in addition to the bitdefender database. I'm sure the signatures come from somewhere, but I can't figure out exactly where. It also claims to have anti-ransomware protection.It used to have Bitdefender engine before.

The signatures may be coming from internal malware analysis, I wouldn’t trust these signatures too much though. iObit is not a company that’s security focused.It still does.

It already uses its own engine for multiple years and the detection capabilities were sub-optimal to say the leastIt still does.

I thought it was something new but I guess not.It already uses its own engine for multiple years and the detection capabilities were sub-optimal to say the least
