[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1030914, member: 99014"] The Bitdefender local database + AV engine modules are more than twice the size of Avast (~600 mb vs ~250). They update frequently (auto update interval can be changed and I personally would change it to 12 hours on systems that are not mission-critical) and overall it is not light on disk. It matters, because on every update the old database is left as a backup in case a revert is necessary, the new files are written in a new folder and all files from the old folder are copied. Again, about 600mb. Avast with its small streaming updates, Evo-Gen signatures and smaller engine/database is more forgiving to the SSD but the IDP is very active on CPU. The only reason why I don’t use Bitdefender is the massive database, as well as the lack of IPS equivalent. [/QUOTE]
