Frustrated reviewer because he can't tinker with the settings - love it!

So far that's the only free AV based cloud that came as in stock factory settings. No user configuration edit needs.

Also note Bitdefender Free can do a right click scan, contrary to what the reviewer says:

That's not really to be lack for Bitdefender since quarantine and right click scan are syandard for all products either free or paid.

Nothing like watching a 'reviewer' test a product that they have no clue about.........gotta love the web.

Hi there,

In our attempt to design Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition as a minimalistic, set-and-forget solution, we went all the way, and automized the product 100%. But following your feedback, we are now introducing some basic functionalities so you can also tweak security to your needs:

• - The new Threat Control now allows you to add exceptions to items which Bitdefender considers suspect, but which you would still like to use. Simply right-click the file in listed in the Threat Control tab and the option will appear in a menu.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• - If you want to access a webpage that Bitdefender considers dangerous, you can now continue at your own risk to that page. The option will also be remembered by the product for the current session, to ease your access.
  
• - Other important updates include additional security levels added, compatibility with Comodo Firewall, and more frequent updates.
