Neither! Have not any of you read about the vulnerable AV engines? The Syscan 2014 Singapore conference. Bitdefender was one of the worst. None were without bugs. But Avast moved fast to offer bug bounty,and fix. Most just ignored,or scoffed. Check out the news section and find post,& read thru the slides after download and catch your jaw,so it don't hit the ground!
** news article is "14 antivirus apps that have security problems" posted by petrovic it may be page 1or 2 in news section here. MT
About halfway thru article look for link that says "slides" just after authors name Joxean Koret or Google (Syscan 360 2014,Av engines vulnerable)

whoa
I tried Bitdefender 2015 ( got 9 months license free). If anybody want it, pm me
I really had to say I hated it. because
1. 455 MB installation size
2. 250 MB RAM usage always.
3. Websurfing felt very slow
4. Where are are control !!! very few settings
5. Hated their UI. many likes that for me it's sad.
6. When I played any video in VLC and made it full screen, the brightness changed to full. Uninstalled Bitdefender and all was good.
But protection wise it's definitely good.

There are a lot of user who hate Bitdefender including me.
Why don't you post your configuration.

ooh. I am sorry.
Right now I am using latest 360 TS with all 5 engines + UAC + Windows Firewall . Though it's ram usage is almost like Bitdefender ( Around 180 MB) but still my system does not seem slow.

This says it all!Bitdefender for Database, Kaspersky for Proactiv Defense
I am trying them both at the time, on different computers of approximately the same power. None of them has caused any problem to me so far.
About protection, Kaspersky may be better as a whole.
Ram consumption is lower with KIS 2015.
KIS may not have the good engine of Bitdefender, but application control & proactive defense can limit unknown files from creating autorun entries, doing damage to the system etc.
If Bitdefender 2015 is really not buggy, it may be a better solution than KIS 2015 for novice users, as KIS sometimes requires user action/approval for malicious behaviours etc while Bitdefender automatically takes actions.
BUT, if you are a happy clicker, none of them is going to protect you. You can see lots of Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Norton, Eset etc, etc users with infected PC's.

Hi Everyone!
I know we've heard it all before, but with the reviews on MT's and youtube i.e., MalwareDoctor showing poor results from Kaspersky; which one would you choose, and why?
Tony
Hi tony, the news section here at MalwareTips has the article that refers to "Syscan 2014" then look for link " slides" there are about 90 slides,very informative.

At this time: Emsisoft 9 Anti-Malware... Comodo 7 FireWall... And Malwarebytes Pro. All working well together, so I call it... the TRIPLE-CRUSH!

I would recommend doing a lot of research before trusting any security program,as I had Kaspersky mobile and it completely failed me when recently infected,(see my first post after becoming a member) not once but twice,or factory reset did not clear everything. I have since installed Malwarebites new mobile program,and have Avast as my primary. Largely because of other features,and not just antivirus. Now after reading thru Korets slides at Syscan 360, 2014, I definitely feel better about Avast because they were proactively offering bug bounties before conference,and acted quickly to pay for and fix the revealed vulnerabilities.($110,000+) The others fixed what they could find on their own,but can NOT be sure they fixed the ones Koret found. They are playing with others well being and safety,because of arrogance. I would look for post online about people getting malware with your favorite security companies installed. Be open minded,and try not to leave to much personal,(financial) info on your computer for now. Also look at having a designated,hardened browser just for shopping and banking. Or even a dedicated device for such things,that never ever surfs the web. Happy hunting. I do have a couple stand alone scanners as well,that's because I have android 4.1.1 and not likely to get any updates soon. 30% or more are still on this OS. And it is still vulnerable to heartbleed. Although Google out out a patch right away,manufactures are slow to follow. Check your own to make sure.

Could you please refrain from mentioning Koret's findings in every thread on this forum? Your revelations are four months late btw, as he already presented this at a previous conference, and they are off topic.

I have not only read the entire presentation but actually posted the original presentation four months ago on Wilders.

So ,... No you have not followed up. You arrogantly presume that all Tenthousand members are aware of this issue,and that they would have seen your post at another site of all places? And did you investigate all venders to see what fixes they initiated, and who rejected the author? No,,no,&no I presume. So before you go telling me what to post and not to post,maybe a little thought is in order. You have posted a grand total of maybe 50 times here since becoming a member and see fit to direct others? I don't think so. Your problem is you are a Kaspersky fanboy,and did not like my comment. And your computer is likely infected too,that's why you are overheating
Have a nice day.
Have a nice day.

@William Wonka
I think deleting most of the off topic posts on this page would suffice. Bitdefender vs. Kaspersky is a very interesting topic imho.
