[QUOTE="Dex4Sure, post: 930572, member: 79841"] Do you actually actively measure resource usage? Also, do you multitask a lot or otherwise run any heavy workloads? In light usage scenario, most AV's don't show up to be performance hogs. Its only when you got multiple things running at the same time you start to see which AVs are truly light, and which are heavy. I respectfully disagree with BD engine being one of the best on the market. First of all, they have quite a bit more false positives than ESET or Kaspersky (which admittedly are the best in this respect). Secondly, their detections are not as clear as many others. For instance, with Kaspersky or ESET you get a good idea if the detection was adware or malware and even what kind of adware or malware. With Bitdefender, not so much. Mostly all you get is generic trojan or gen variant even if the detection was adware. The detection descriptions are much more precise with some other products. My first encounter with Bitdefender long ago (years ago) didn't leave me exactly impressed either. It literally quarantined official Spotify client as a trojan generic 😂 [/QUOTE]
