Battle Bitdefender Free Antivirus vs Avast Internet Security

[Deleted member 2913]

I have Avast Internet Security licence.

I like Bd free too.

I dont use all the stuffs from Avast.
Only use File/Web Shields & FW.

Protection wise AIS is good with signs, BB & malicious url blocking. Phishing protection is weak. FW defaults seems like Win 7 FW defaults & no difference.
Protection wise Bd free is good with signs, very good BB & good malicious url blocking. Phishing protection is very good too. Coupled with Win 7 FW defaults.

So what you suggest/recommend?

With AIS installed the boot time is increased, not much but noticeable & system on reaching desktop takes time to settle down as Avast takes little time to initialize/appear on system tray & till then system runs little slow too.
Programs opening, copying, etc... too feels little slow.

Have installed Bd free for now & no above probs.

Installed AIS back.

As above mentioned probs are minor & so decided to use AIS till the licence expires.

Thanxx for your suggestions frds.
