Battle Emsisoft Anti-Malware 9 vs Bitdefender AV 2015

[Paul.R]

Hi!

I have some money to spend on a license and I can;t decide...please help.

 

[Oxygen]

Emsisoft would be a better choice because no matter what bitdefender does it will still be heavy on the system or have some sort of negative impact on system.

 

[Anupam]

You can use bit defender 2015 for 6 months free ... use that then spend your money...

And I like Emsisoft more than Bitdefender.

 

[omidomi]

Eset is better choice if you want waste your money!

 

[software182]

Emsisoft, you'll be sorry if you buy Bitdefender, because there will be more giveaway from them next year :rofl:

Is this "license-only" money?
If it isn't you can follow @Anupam 's solution, but give me the money instead (Just Kidding on that Part ). With that being said, you can spend your hard-earned money not on a license for an antivirus but something you actually want. I suggest Avast! Free for the UI and feature kit, or Qihoo 360 for the lightness and detection (It often ranks high in tests and uses quad-engines or more).

If it is license-money, you should get Emsisoft instead of Bitdefender. If you want Bitdefender, there are some 3/6 month giveaways posted on MT every month or so. I would actually recommend ESET if you want to sacrifice a tiny bit of detection rate for stellar (small) performance impact.

Best free antivirus: Qihoo 360 (high detection and good protection)

Best paid antivirus: Eset SS 7, Emsisoft internet security pack.

My opinion only.

Between those two is a nobrainer for me, without a single doubt: Emsi! Far more stable, always has been always will. Protection-wise they are on par.

As suggested by @Anupam why dont u try Bitdefender First. If that fits u then u may continue using those. Secondarily if that meet ur requirements i would suggest u to spend the amount over ESET. Emisoft would be heavy on ur machine. So i suggest u to use either Bitdefender or ESET

 

[MrExplorer]

Emsisoft would be a better choice, Bitdefender is too bad.

 

[rebel4life]

i got 360 Internet Security + EAM (real-time) very light no problems yet

 

[ifacedown]

For Protection: Emsisoft
For Lightness: Emsi is a bit lighter than BD
For Stability: Emsi

Emsisoft is what I use. It works well with both 64 bit systems that I have. I also run Malwarebytes Premium & Comodo firewall.

keep your money, save it and buy something, Iphone Ipad PC, and use 360is the same and even better

 

[bob974]

Emsisoft !

If you have time wait for Emsisoft 9 IS final
Now it's always on public beta. Test it !

The Emsisoft Anti-Malware 9 that I currently have installed came to me for free by winning a contest on another web site.I like it a lot.That being said,360IS does seem to be an awesome product.In my own opinion,360 IS is the best free AV available. I know there is 360 Total with Avira engine,but I just don't need all the clean this & that features that it offers. Both 360IS & Total seem to be great product.

No-way BitDefender, even if the new 2015 line has been launched. Emsisoft is stronger than BAV.

Between the two? Emsisoft

If not, i highly suggest buying Appguard and use it with a free AV if you need.

 

[trainbus120]

Spending money on a AV among the two is not advisable. You may grab a 9 month subscription from Bitdefender. I still would suggest you, if you really plan to invest in a AV go for Kaspersky. Rest its your choice. All the best.

Emsisoft will be a better choice.
