Hey. Here's that video, in case any of you were interested in watching it. I was surprised in how well it did, especially for a free version. I didn't see any crashes/BSODs like I have in other videos. I did however notice that it failed in detecting 10 phising sites on Edge, Chrome, and Firefox, and that it failed to detect a few files that Malwarebytes picked up. Perhaps running BD Free, along with a few second-opinion scanners, wouldn't be too bad.

It's looking pretty good but there are 2 things I hate about it:
1) it doesn't have a button for manual update of antivirus database. So on first install, you need to wait for it to update itself, whenever that happens...
2) it doesn't have the option for a quick scan

It updates quickly on startup, and then about every couple of hrs. or so.

2) it doesn't have the option for a quick scan

but you may drag and drop any file or folder into GUI to scan. It also has context menu scan option.

I suppose one either loves or hates a fully automatic AV like BD.
