Is using Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition a good decision?

How well it performed in MalwareTips virus tests?

Is it using same engine as Bitdefender Paid product?
It use same engine, have very good web filter. It have not options , good detection rate and bit high ram usage .And like all the editions Bitdefender it is buggy.

I run Windows Defender with Comodo Firewall at CS settings plus HIPS.At some point, I tried Bitdefender Free and got a general slowdown. I excluded each other but to no avail. I disabled HIPS but could not make my system snappy. With help from Macrium, I went back to Windows Defender. In the last 20 years, I never had success with the different flavors of Bitdefender. I was luckier with Kaspersky.
