App Review Bitdefender Total Security 2022

[L0ckJaw]

I do not want to discuss this topic, but we're living in a crazy world. American software is no better than Russian. Personally I would use Russian software over US ones.

I’m not gonna battle ,
Just one word MH17 and I leave it like this.

It depends, I'll discuss it with you. Norton has proven to be an excellent antivirus, sonar is very effective, and now with the Avira + Avast acquisitions it can become a very powerful av. On the other hand Kaspersky, despite being a widely used AV, is being banned from several countries and that can make your product lose strength. Greetings.

Yes, in my experience Norton provides decent protection. Regarding the ban of Kaspersky in some countries, this is politics and I believe none of the allegations were proven. I am sure this ban will affect its performance, but believe me this is a huge loss for the field of cybersecurity.

But it’s Russian so I’m never in my life gonna use this.

What is so bad about a Russian software? Most of kasperskys data centers are all n Switzerland. And it 's a global company. It is a very good anti virus after all, if not the best

Fails to removes a file that a user can easily delete is what you call good? The software itself is also buggy

Funny enough, I am testing BTS again. So far so good. Let's see how long it stays. It is still heavy imho compared to others.

Buggy ? I don’t think you are right. It runs perfect and with my and @Shadowra testing it detects and removes any malware without any issue.
Get your facts straight

Agree Norton does fairly well. SONAR is quite powerful as is their firewall. The only "test" that it did not fair well on is the one that @kC77 did. But that was not a real test as you won't get hit with 1000 malware samples at once.

Norton is next on my list.

KC77 tests for me are worthless.
Totally not realistic and waste of time to make and watch. I prefer real tests like @Shadowra or the hub.

Agree. His tests are very crude and he will tell you so. I just simply mentioned it because it did not do so well during his test. You are making me want to put Norton on another machine here heh.

I personally also saw a few tests on YouTube where Norton failed to remove inactive threats from the system. No idea if that's still the case tho. Just thought I should point that out.

From what I recall , old tests

Sorry, have to correct myself... It wasn't an inactive threat. Still, not an optimal way of handling threats if you ask me. After all, I didn't use Norton enough to judge it's performance nowadays.

Here is the test I was talking about:

At about 10:20

yep very basic and crude tests indeed! but Norton couldn't cope with it.. when I first tested it was v21.x I noticed a v22 released a couple of weeks later and thought I'd try it again... the protection just shutdown again halfway through the test.
unrealistic yes... but protection just stopping is pretty important.
(also to note this was a trial version I tried so it's possible they have some limits in it)

Leo and one year ago. I never experience this anymore.

And what’s the fun with these kind of tests ?

Doesn't matter if it's Leo or anybody else.

As I said, no idea if it's still the case.
