It must be a proper update, had this come through on both machines. Unusual for them to update this often.

They should start posting the Changelogs in the Logs > Events for every program update.

Thank you! For the information about the New BitDefender Free Version! (Update).
I even put BitDefender on a XP that have less than 1GB and work perfectly.
Hope that BitDefender keep this up. And they are serious about their software product. :cool:

I'm not so sure it doesn't. Photon adapts and adjusts to your system over time to improve efficiency and performance - that's exactly what the free version does.
Shssss - don't tell anyone.

Maybe so, but check the comments:

Photon is a feature of the paid New Bitdefender. Momentarily, our free antivirus solution does not include this technology.

Thank you,
Loredana Botezatu


"Momentarily", so it could come to the Free version, who knows? :D

"- added new scan paths to installer for better detection," - I think that is what was just added in this version.
I wrote Bitdefender complaining about it being slow and they told me to just keep using it and it would speed up as it adjusted to my system - which is exactly what Photon does.

DrBeenGolfing - How often is you Bdav free updating? I know it's cloud based but as I understand it, it updates once an hour. Is it currently updating hourly?

Zeroday: I had installed Bitdefender free last night for a test and it was updating hourly. Everything was working well on my side. I change out my config almost everyday call me crazy but i know how almost every product behaves.

Thank you Ryan. Maybe not crazy the way your switching could be the ultimate config :)
