First time I see Avast/AVG acing it and first time I see Kaspersky which used to always lead the pack fall back so much.

But look at the Feb-May comparisons, Kaspersky was flawless. I imagine these tests can vary from month(s) to month. F-Secure still has the high FP's, it has always had an issue with those going back 10? years or so. Many of them are truly FP's but still, it would be nice if one day they could tighten that up.

All in all, you'll be fine. It's consistently up there in about the top 3-4 as far as protection. They also have good support. The manual is a good reference tool, which can be found at the top of the UI/Dashboard, the life preserver next to My Account.I just bought bitdefender total security for 3 years

This is not the first time Avast has surpassed Kaspersky and others. Avast since Norton bought it, it is another antivirus. And the change from the icon to the speed of detection is very strong.
What do you mean Bitdefender is Bloated? Greetings.
good purchase, in my opinion Bitdefender is the best antivirus, I even think better than KasperskyI just bought bitdefender total security for 3 years

For me Bitdefender, Avast and Kaspersky are the 3 best AVs that exist. I uninstalled Bitdefender because they put more processes in ram and my machine doesn't have that much ramgood purchase, in my opinion Bitdefender is the best antivirus, I even think better than Kaspersky
. I would like them to lower the processes. Avast has fewer processes. And kaspersky has a compatibility problem with Riot Games.

VPN and optimization junks. A lot of users don't need this type of stuff.
Users want a product with no bloatware like Emsisoft Anti Malware, VIPRE, and F-Secure (vpn bloatware, but less bloatware than Bitdefender).

According to this article, they are more transparent, along with Bitdefender and the others.
AV-Comparatives - Data transmission in consumer security products
We have conducted a study on data transmission in consumer security products, addressing the concerns of Internet users regarding the access and usage of their personal information. While computer security software has a legitimate need to send certain system information to its manufacturers...

AV-Comparatives... Do I need to remind you why you should never trust it?
They are missing crowd intelligence from the western world, less users is less telemetry and big data.

That can fluctuate according to the amount of Ram you have. I have 16 GB of Ram, and here is where I'm at. Your's should settle down some more, but again, it fluctuates.
@all members bashing AV-comparatives
They have to many quality seals (they have the most out of all professional lab testing organizations) I know for that you don't (just to name one quality certificate of AVC) an ISO certification when you are not transparent and have predictable, repeatable processes in place. AV-comparatives not publishing their processes to the public does not mean that their approach is not checked and certified. Also many Universities have ties with AV-comparatives. In the academic world there are also requirements and regulations how research is performed.
The fact that their results may differ from youtube testers, does not dis-qualify their testing method.

I agree, it's another resource to use to compare along with others testing and findings.
Yes please, substantiate your opinion with facts, how do I know you don't manipulate your videos. It are just videos, anything digital can be manipulated. How scientifcal is your (words of Cruel Sister) gang-bang approach in testing Security Software. How often are consumers faced with 1000 malwares at once? How close does your testing method resembles real world situations?AV-Comparatives... Do I need to remind you why you should never trust it?
Be a sport, I applaude your tests, I like to watch them and I really value you making them, but your test don't improve in quality nor credibility when bashing AV-C.
