[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 812747, member: 32547"] OK, but isn't this a little bit like saying that having to use an mri to analyze a patient's discomfort means the patients pain wasn't real and that there wasn't any need for the surgery that you discovered will be required? Just saying that I feel this kind of testing (especirally since the test was run multiple times) are 100% valid and relevant. OK, a second opinion on the surgery could be a good idea for sure, but the only issue about the test in my view is whether some security is being sacrificed if Bitdefender is turning off some of the elements native to Windows. As for running the test in a VM, I get the point that PCs don't run that slow. That could be valid. However, you wouldn't take the 7%? I would and no matter what too, long as the security was adequate. With W10 security, my feeling is that it has become bloated and cluttered. Still running Windows 7, I wouldn't want that much security to be present on a system, when I would only use some of the elements. I feel strongly about this and that it's good that there are options for W`0 users. Actually, I would be kind of interested to see how you guys would feel if you ran W7 for awhile, responisbly as you do, and then moved over to W10. Not to tempt anyone, just conjecture on my part that you might sense some things that could be improved about W10. I'm not interested in the slightest at this point I have to say. It's all the things MS that I can't stand but to a through the roof scale once all the "features" are added to the list. Just not for me... One last thing about the test I will concede as a final consideration. I'm not sure how turning off Defender affects, for example, the operability of the Windows firewall or maybe UAC also. Maybe there are some slight considerations there? If Bitdefender turns off smart screen, surely that would be a consideration too in deciding between the two. However, it is VERY interesting to me that Bitdefender actually sped up the system. I think that's cool in a way and something to think through... [/QUOTE]
