Bitdefender 2020 Released
- Thread starter chabbo
- Start date
Even with 59% RAM used, it won't be an issue, as there is still plenty of free RAM.
Problem is: My PC is on gaming, not on watching how my RAM is eated on nothing by antivirus that ate me almost 2GB RAM than just 512MB in Task Manager.

Wow, that's a really great deal!
Why are you worried about memory? Many manufacturers hide the real memory used by the software. And anyway, memory is the fastest, this is an advantage, information is accessing much faster. If you have enough memory, try to cover it. Do not fight to have as little as possible. Not in 2019.
Keep that in mind.

Scanning (like scanning an attached USB drive) does significantly slow down the overall performance.

I experienced the same thing, its very slow in deleting / detecting malware , or virusses.
The RAM usage spiked. If i compare to my normal use AV , thats so fast in detecting and cleaning.
This is the reason i uninstalled BD 2020 immediately.

Anyway, I can confirm that Bitdefender team take ages to add a sample to their signatures. I have reported a sample to many vendors and Eset was the first one to add the detection then comes Dr.Web . Bitdefender and Avira still have not added the detection even after more than 9 hours of submission. Sorry I have gone off-topic

* OFFTOPIC* Correct they are always fast with the signatures and the livegrid/BB with new virusses and malware.*

After a few days. Bitdefender is running smoothly on my system. Ram consumption is around 200mb. Everything is running as expected. No slowdowns and no issues. Bitdefender did good work this time.

It's been there in earlier versions, but it seems that they have done it right in 2020.

Does anyone get this error message when opening rescue environment?
No offense but... Under normal use, how often do you think an AV, on the average desktop will be detecting and deleting malware? Once a month? Once a year? Never? So why would a spike in ram use be a problem under normal use? It wouldn't. Folks need to understand you were probably running it on a underpowered VM and in a test environment hammering it with malware. Not a normal use situation at all.
I used to hate Bit Defender. They've done everything right with 2020 from what I can see and have experienced.

I'm loving the product. But I still manage to find that weird website blocking issue. Random sites are blacklisted as dangerous or it just says connection insecure and refuses to connect unless manually allow.

Every year I give Bitdefender a try to see how it has improved and I almost always immediately uninstall it because of network slowdown, surprisingly this 2020 release has fixed this annoying problem for me, so I can confirm what @ForgottenSeer 58943 said about the firewall.
The product is running fantastic on my machine, very low system usage and everything is blazing fast; I am loving the simplicity and the auto pilot feature, it is refreshing to see a security solution that you dont need to keep babysitting it.
I think Bitdefender is a excellent alternative for Norton lovers, it has the same ease to use style with great online dashboard plus a better offline protection and false positive rates.
The only thing that is keeping me for giving it a perfect score is some "bug" with Firefox; I am experiencing a very slow first TLS handshake (5 ~ 10 seconds) to connect to a website, after this initial slowdown ("Performing a TLS handshake" ) the browsing is fast and this behavior wont occur until the next Firefox restart.

I disable HTTPS scanning in all AV's, including Bit Defender. It fixes that problem straight away. I do not like my AV's using installed CA's to scan HTTPS.

It was the first thing that I tried, unfortunately it didn't worked.

This is the problem I experienced when I used the Free version in December, blocking very familiar websites out of the blue.
