[QUOTE="mlnevese, post: 882743, member: 36157"] Light or heavy depends on a lot of things. In my experience even in two identical machines, driver version may make a difference. As I said previously I have Bitdefender 2020 running on my father-in-law's 2nd generation I3 and his computer is not slowed down. Regarding addition of samples, in my experience, ESET is the fastest one to add new malware to their signatures, followed by Kaspersky. Kaspersky is the only one that will often give feedback on the samples you submit. Never received feedback from ESET or Bitdefender. Also, Bitdefender is slow to remove false positives. It blocks a page I visit often and i reported the false positive almost a year ago. It's still blocked. Kaspersky took around 15 days to remove the false positive. ESET never marked that page as compromised. There are other things that should be considered when choosing a Suit. If you need Parental Control, Bitdefender has a really good one so does ESET. Kaspersky parental Control will often create problems on the Kids devices and lacks an option to temporally allow an action, such as accessing device settings, forcing you to login and disable. If you have multiple devices in your family, Bitdefender central is the most informative one informing what has been blocked recently and where it came from in any of te machines under your license. That's how i discovered my father-in-law is clicker happy and will often click on scams :) So the bottom line is. In terms of protection most major vendors protection level is similar. So take in consideration ease of use, price and the other product characteristics that may be important to you. Test the software in your machines for the full length of their trials and use the computer normally to make sure they do not hamper your daily use. If they block something you need before rage uninstalling, try to check if it's simple to whitelist the item. And most important of ignore internet preconception about a product such as "Bugdefender". Bitdefender used to have a lot of bugs but it greatly improved in the 2020 version. Remember that no product is bug free and none offer 100% protection. [/QUOTE]
