I've got a great deal for Bitdefender Family Pack for 3 years, which basically is Bitdefender Total Security with unlimited activations for 3 years, where I paid $40. Prior to using Bitdefender on my main rig, I used Kaspersky Internet Security, it was light and without any hassles. After changing to Bitdefender I was surprised and pissed to see this:
A bunch of small processes (not a big issue, as a bunch of them are very low on resources, but I find this ugly) and the engine process which is eating more than 250MB on IDLE, there are times that it can go as high as 450MB on IDLE. What's worse is that some of those are processes are BS I don't even use, like the Wallet Agent. On the other hand, KIS had only 2 processes, one for the GUI and another for the engine.
Another big issue, whenever there's an update, the client asks for a restart, like so:
KIS would always update its DAT files and never asks for restart, this is just ridiculous!
I'll see if I can get a refund and go back to Kaspersky or go with emisoft, because Bitdefender is dead to me, I'd rather use the "refreshed" Windows Defender from W10 than this trash. My advice to you guys: AVOID BITDEFENDER AT ALL COSTS!!!
