App Review BitDefender Free vs Zero Day Scriptor

[cruelsister]

Although I'm prepping for an assignment that begins next week and so will have no opportunity for anything new, I would like to present a few Videos I already have completed. Today will be one that was promised, BitDefender Free (CF and Trend Micro to follow).

A bit of explanation is needed for this one. To the base malware I added a segment that attempts to take down BD itself. This addition turned out to be rather inelegant due to either a conflict with the base malware (possible) or shoddy coding by the Presenter (probable). The result is BD taken down by segments, as it were. But the original point of the test (deleted documents, unbootable system) would have occurred nonetheless.

I wanted to redo this one and clean it up a bit, but ran out of play time. I hope you understand.

Thanxx for the test.
But as you have mentioned, if you could plzz redo this one. This seems little not fair to Bd free compared to other AVs tested.

This is your scriptor test series against AVs.
So I think would be fair if you do the test the same way against all the AVs.

So bitdefender surrender too. Off topic - btw who is that girl in picture?

Interesting test.

Is this Scriptor some type of Boot Virus ? In which case the windows option of whacking in a disk and doing a repair isn`t going to be an option as all boot options will be screwed up and that`s very nasty.

I did the BD Video again using just the original malware without any options, It was done between bites of my salad so please forgive it it seems a tad rushed.

Thanxx for the retest.
No surprises here, as usual like other AVs this too failed to protect.
