[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 979836, member: 90494"] I installed BD Free on my daily driver laptop, this one is a newer Lenovo with 8gb RAM and 1TB hard drive. This installation went well, except that in the end it popped up a window that offered me the chance to restore my previous version of BD Antivirus, I think that was because I had BD AV Plus on here about a year ago. I just clicked through the offer and BD has not hassled me any further about keeping the free version. On this laptop I left the BD Special Offers and Recommendations turned on, I want to see what they might tell me when I am online over the next few days. I will turn them off if they get obnoxious. I also enabled the Widget, I don't know why but I like having it on. The Eicar and AMTSO tests ran the same as on my older laptop. Smartscreen and BD blocked them both. That is about the extent of my malware testing ability. When I first got BD running, it was at 426 mb RAM on the main module, that was about an hour ago, now it is down to 117.5 mb. Browsing and downloading are both faster on this laptop with BD than with WD. I added Trafficlight just to have it on in case I have to search on Google. I try to avoid Google as much as possible but sometimes Bing just does not give the best search results. I will keep BD for a while and see how things work out but so far it seems to be a really good AV. I hope we all have very good luck with it. C.H.
