App Review Bitdefender Antivirus Free [v1.0.14.76] vs Project57 ransomware

[Vasudev]

What i have been told is that bitdefender / kaspersky has best signatures

But bitdefender on vt has not detected ransomware by signatures = fail on the video

Bitdefender has behaviour blocker, but its too late when files are already enrycpted?
Doesnt mean bitdefender is bad, it just doesnt have any zeroday protection on free version and needs help by other sws

On other hand i have no idea how common these zeroday infections are in real life situations, its not bitdefenders fault if someone ran suspicios file , probably the web filter already did job before that and adblocker blocked it coming from ads, idk

People that torrent will run any file, even they get prompted by av/ security software

I use torrents most of the times because I switched to Mobile data and I have never been infected. Previous ISP did/does corrupt big files 4-10GB files midway and reduce speed to 1/100th just to throttle the net speed.

I’m pretty sure it will it’s way to the HUB once a source is detected to get hold of it.
You may want to have a look into then?

When I have more time I could look into it

FWIW, I had to switch to Kaspersky SC Free because something kept slowing down the system when I used BD Free.

Looks like Bitdefender got sample of Project57, about time!

Currently this is much worse:
VirusTotal

And BD free is sleeping :'(

So many other vendors are sleeping too ?! other big names like avast, Gdata ... they say its clean.

Also this xD
VirusTotal

No idea in general, maybe AV vendors don't get enough samples or something...?
