Today i was little disappointed with Bitdefender 2017 TS. Finding the answer to a simple question wasn't easy:
"Does bitfender automatically scan the system perodically (quick and/or full) by default (especially with autopilot enabled)"
I was quite surprised of the answer (no):

Am i being to hard on bitdefender? It seems like any AV solution these days should be doing periodic scans. Heck even windows defender does periodic quick scans. I used to use NIS and its automatic scan system was actually quite awesome (least it used to be). It would detect when i wasn't using my system and do a scan during those times. If i logged in when it was doing one it would halt the scan and pick back up were it left off when it detected i left the computer. Not saying im going back to NIS. I will stick with bitdefender. We all know the "Tierney of the default" problem which probably means 95% of bitdefender users aren't doing scans. So yes its easy to schedule them but.....
Thoughts?
