[QUOTE="Minimalist, post: 980041, member: 89179"] I tested Bitdefender for a day. It was OK, no noticeable system impact even though memory consumption is a little higher than with other solutions. There were few problems so I decided to go back to Eset. Problems I experienced: 1. notification about expired certificate. It reappeared many times when browsing specific website (it was not that particular site but 3rd party site from where it downloaded some resources). Only way to remove notification was AFAIK to whitelist that site but that's not what I wanted to do. 2. full system scan. Macrium Reflect Image Guardian blocked 700+ attempts to modify backup files by BD service executable. IDK why it tried to modify those files. Looking for ADS on other files that were scanned didn't reveal anything. 3. full system scan. BD detected "malware" in one of the manifest files in c:\windows\servicing\lcu. It removed it with no problems but when I tried to restore it (since it's FP) it didn't have enough rights to restore the file. So I had to restore last system image. 4. full system scan. It detected compressed installers for uTorrent. When restoring them it did not restore them as compressed but instead it created a folder named utorrent.zip and restored them there uncompressed. 5. after uninstall I had to manually remove leftovers in c:\programdata (BIN files) and [ALL PARTITIONS]:\system volume information (SDB files). IMO it's good AV but I prefer to use ESET as it's more trouble free and less aggressive. Though if I were practising "dangerous computing" I would probably feel safer with BD. EDIT: after some thought I decided to give BD another try. Using it for a day may not show all the picture. I added folder with installers and folders for backup files to exceptions and run custom scan instead of built-in system scan. [/QUOTE]
