[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 882735, member: 31436"] People who post here about performance issues about Bitdefender (or any other antivirus), don't exaggerate. Bitdefender is light for some, but not so much for others. Just because it runs well for you, it is not an indication of how it performs for everyone. However, people are finding the 2020 version to be lighter than previous versions, which is good. In the past Bitdefender has been very buggy for a lot of people, but has run well for others. Based on feedback here, it's clear that many people who had issues with previous versions, aren't having issues with the 2020 version. But there are some who still find it to be buggy. Given the amount of people who have had issues in the past, I'm sure that Bitdefender were well aware of the bugs, but only recently made a serious attempt to fix them. Considering that, I not sure how how much help, more people reporting bugs would have been. Just about all PUPs are harmless. Anything which actually steals data, is malware of some sort and not a PUP. But I do agree, that Bitdefender could do with much better PUP protection. Norton is much less buggy than Bitdefender was in the past and will be lighter for some people (maybe many people). In addition to that, while the future of Norton has some uncertainty, it is very good at detecting malware. They are both good products. [/QUOTE]
