Thanks for the Bitdefender Free test @safe1st It did very well. I like the UI as well, its very clean. Is there even a good reason to buy Bitdefender IS or TS if Free version includes the same protection modules as paid versions? And does it come with the Anti-Ransom module built-in or have to install it seperately?

Yeah, Bd free did good...no bells/whistles/craps/ads & effective protection for average users.

safe1st,
Malware detected on PC But not on VT - It was detected by Bd free behavior blocker...I dont think VT uses BB of products.
Malware detected on VT But not on PC - If I am correct, VT uses command line scanner & high settings of products.

No, paid version usually has more features

Hi

Is this an on-demand scanner or does it offers real-time protection especially when offline? Do you need to manually download the definitions or do they auto download. Also, if auto download, how many times a day?

Thanks

1.It has real time protection, It's not cloud based so they store signatures locally

2.The definitions manually update usually once about every hour or so on my system

3. I need to update my picture to BD been using it for about a week now.

It use Cloud too. It stores signatures but it use more Cloud than the normal, paid bitdefender products. Cant find the post where a bd staff wrote it, sorry.

Yah, I just installed it. And was playing with it when I realized it doesn't scan removable drives.

Anyway to get it to scan multi removable drives?

Thanks

Note:- If there's no way to do this then I'll be reverting back to Avast Free AV

Good test, Bitdefender Free is a serious contender for free products.

AVC is indeed strong against worst scenario of bypass threats and already contains established good protection capabilities.

The free one has Signatures+ Active threat control but not the anti-ransomware module. @safe1st Basically, in Virus Total are stored only local signatures. So Active threat control (which is a behavioiral blocker) detection is not included. The same for cloud signatures. Avira cloud and Symantec cloud, for example, it's not included
