Hello

One of my friends called me and said "my PC is really slow and I can't do much" and he had this issue for almost 2 weeks.

After talking ... and trying to help with Team Viewer, didn't had luck :( he sent me some screenshots. BitDefender Free was killing the PC and I asked to reboot and let the system idle and make a screen after 10 minutes check the photos.

He used ESET before and now I told him to install Panda Cloud, Panda is using ~ 7-8 Mb. I asked if he wanted 360 IS like I am, he said no :)

I don't know if BitDefender is that bad or what ...

I had an issue with the Bitdefender 2012 BETA, it was OK at the start, but eventually made my slowed down my PC. Never looked back at using the Final or future versions.

Maybe Bitdefender Free isn't well maintained compared to their Paid Antivirus or Security suites.

I was a beta tester for Bitdefender(2012), the BETA version was better then final version. From that version i don't use Bitdefender.

Kaspersky, G Data, Emsisoft :X
