Serious Discussion In terms of prevention, desinfection of performance who is better ¿kaspersky plus or bitdefender total security?

Hi i only want to know who is better in terms of prevention, desinfectión and performance ¿Kaspersky plus or bitdefender total security?

Both Kaspersky and Bitdefender Total Security offer excellent prevention and disinfection capabilities. In terms of performance, Bitdefender is often praised for its minimal impact on system resources. However, the best choice can depend on your specific needs and system setup.

Huh?

I would say that recently it is just the opposite

If you are from EU or US or even from any of the 5 eyes countries it would be better to go for bitdefender. Otherwise there is a chance that you may not get updates in future from K. If you are not from a region that's not entangled in geo political flash points, K offers high degree of customisation than Bitdefender, which can add to your security.

Step into the Kaspersky product Universe and witness the fear-inducing engine power of their security allies, striking fear in malware and America!

Huh?

Bitdefender needs a lot of resources from the PC, Kasperskiy is a risk (look the article:https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/06/21/kaspersky-banned-us-antivirus-russia/),
and TrendMicro software has no firewall on board, it uses the Windows one. McAfee is a good and lightweight antivirus software.

Till you want to remove it from your system. Its like a thousand tentacles of an octopus, wont ever leave from your system.

All security products spread tentacles in the system. Some can even damage subsystems when being removed. Thats why it's a good idea to have an image file from your system before installing if you don't know enough to delve into the system to eliminate all traces left behind and repair whatever damage was done.

2018...that's a bit old, and probably not up the speed with where AV's are at today. And it looks like 2018 was the last report.

Malware Removal Tests Archives

Malware Removal tests (aimed mainly for home users) evaluate the anti-virus products’ capability of removing malware and its leftovers from an already compromized system. For this test we use mainly prevalent “in-the-field” samples from infected PCs of customers.

In the past I would have agreed with you regarding having K removed do to geo political reasons; However, you have to realize that this has been brewing since 2016 a long before Russia decided to Lebensraum their way through Ukraine. Additionally, US must really have some actual sensitive info in order for them to fully pull the AV out. Not even Chinese AV's are being treated the way Kaspersky is. US is a business first nation, and for every Kaspersky lic sold they do get their taxes. So performing such a drastic move must be warranted somehow.

Only in reviews. Reality is almost the opposite. I wouldn't touch BD, unless I am absolutely uncompromising on behavioral detection performance and nothing else matters.

I tried Bit last month...ooof, it was soo resource heavy that it should star on "My 600 lb life" tv show.

Any other AV that lic the Bitdefender engine is somehow a lot lighter than the actual Bitdefender...quite perplexing.

OMG McAfee ? As a system admin in my newly joined office, one day a colleague reported system wide slowdown and some programs failing to load or load after long delay. I was clueless at first, as the system is powered by a Ryzen 5600G with 16GB RAM, NVMe SSD, up to date Windows 10 and no way the system can be that slow. What caught my attention was the system failing to load certian applications like Bleachbit for example without any error or promt. When I switched off McAfeee, the system was not only became alive and smooth, but even apps that failed to load without any error or promt are now running good!. McAfee was, is and will be mediocre and best avoided software even if someone pays you to use it.

There are also the cleanup tools that AVs offer as well as uninstallers like Revo, and third-party anti-malware removers. Under normal circumstances where users don’t engage in frequent AV changes, the traces from products used in the past are not big deal.

I agree. I use a mix of Hibit, vendor uninstaller and FRST to get rid of everything. Sometimes I need unlockr as well to delete something in a protected folder. But every now and then I get a product that makes networking non-operational after uninstalling, for instance. It's been a while since it last happened but it's possible.

Hello, sorry, but it seems we have different schedules. I like to see her responses because I learn and reflect. There are some points that I would like to ask 1.- What these security solutions really have, because sometimes I think that companies exaggerate the characteristics of their solutions. For example, bitdefender may say that it has a cryptocurrency protection module, but does not specify how it works, while Kaspersky does tell you that this protection is carried out through "Behavioral monitoring, firewall traffic monitoring and malicious link interception based on various listings (more blacklists, more browser resources and slower browsing)". In other words, for me Bitdefender is ready to use but sometimes it lies saying that it has dedicated features when really what it does is put an indicator on something that was already done by default, or in other words I doubt that the protection module really Bitdefender's cryptocurrency counter works differently from Kaspersky's combination of protection modules, what happens is that each company presents it at its convenience. 2. There are two questions that arise for me: a) Which one reacts faster to viruses? For example, I know that there are antiviruses that detect viruses as soon as they reach the system and others that do so when they are executed. b) I remember that bitdefender reacted slower to viruses than kaspersky, since bitdefender detected them when I opened the folder where the virus was, while kaspersky did not even let it enter my system. I am right? 3.- Is customization really necessary? The question is because as I see, Kaspersky's configuration options in its complete analysis cover more files than Bitdefender, since apparently the latter only analyzes new and modified files, in general In this sense, the default configuration of both solutions is not the one that should be used for a comparison and in that case my question is, if the same configurations as Bitdefender's, which only analyzes new and modified ones, are used, will Kaspersky's capabilities not be reduced? ? 4.- Do you really think it is important to consider the geopolitical problem? I am not from the United States, I am from Latin America.

Nobody wants to pay for these type of tests. They are expensive tests. That is why there are no recent ones.

probably not up the speed with where AV's are at today.

You are assuming that today's products are better at removal and cleanup than older versions. It is not a given that more recent means better or more effective.

You are the one that combined Comodo and Emsisoft, right? Yeah. You are. And you got booted from Emsisoft's user forum because you kept calling them dishonest and badgering their support staff.

The kind of infos that you want are really not available. Software publishers are not going to explain how their products work.
