[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 960356, member: 83059"] (1) There was a long period where BitDefender really slacked on zero days and took many days if not weeks to update signatures. (2) Their engine as a SDK didn't have a good cloud story like the Avira APC (3) Their signatures and memory footprint were both relatively large compared to Avira For those reasons, F-Secure preferred Avira as their signature-based scanning engine. It's not to say BitDefender as a product isn't good -- they have their own suite of protection features. But the way F-Secure uses a traditional AV engine is strictly as a signature scanner as one of the 5 or so different engines in the F-Secure product, and Avira was a better match. [/QUOTE]
