[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 980256, member: 90494"] I removed BD from both laptops. Not that BD Free is bad, it has its good points and I am sure lots of people will use it but I do not like the "all or nothing" approach, even with the new GUI that has a few more settings. It just seems noisy to me. I am no expert at all but the comments from other MT members and on Wilders also steered me to remove BD. Browsing was a little faster with BD but the difference in speed is not enough for me to keep BD. I just think I am better off with WD and ConfigureDefender on High setting. I have a lifetime license for MBAM but have not used it in a couple of years. I already use the MBAM Browser Guard extension but I might read up on MBAM and give it another try. All AV's have their good and bad points. WD seems to have the least problems for me. One other thing I would pass along here, if anyone needs to remove BD Free there is no dedicated BD remover for it. But the BD removal tool for the paid versions will also remove the free version. Even then it still leaves behind a lot of leftover files. I used HiBit to get rid of almost all of them, then searched with the Everything utility to locate the rest and deleted those manually. C.H.
