Battle Kaspersky IS Or Bitdefender IS?

[ZeroDay]

I know this has been posted before but I've found 2 really good deals on eBay and I've decided I'm going to buy one of them, the deals are: Kaspersky IS for £11.99 Or Bitfender IS for £ 6.49 I'm torn and can't choose between the 2 lol So I thought I'd ask here what other would choose?

Hello zeroday! bitdefender is very buggy , and kaspersky is heavy on resources , the bank feature of kaspersky has problems loading from time to time , but bitdfenders safepay is perfect , used bd i.s. for a few weeks and did not like the fact it put a drag to my boot time.....I have a spare b.d. antivirus plus 2013 key , also a activated fsecure 2013 key ( valid for 364 days : also uses bitdefender engine ) if you want one of these PM me

First,maybe you should try them on your PC.They are both great at detection but there are some other aspects you should consider.

Thanks for the advice and the offer starchild76 and thank you to Nedim. I've tested both on my PC and they both run well. The reason I'm thinking of buying a 3 user license for either Kis or Bdis is I think both require very little user intervention and I live with my mother and brother and I thought either of those suites would be perfect for them, I myself can get by with a free av But I was thinking if I'm buying a 3 user license I may as well install one myself to.

Thanks again guys.

Haven't tried BIS,but KIS was a resource hog on my system!

Why not just get a free AV like Avast free, bitdefender free or baidu 2013 :biggrin:

Do you really need to buy a paid suite just because you found a sales price?

Thanks.

 

[ZeroDay]

You're right littlebits, I thought it through for a while and decided to just use Avast! free on all the computers in the house, I maintain all the PC's anyway so I don't think I need to pay for a suite. I was just getting a little carried away with those sale prices lol.

Thanks.

Kaspersky IS as all the current tracks to have fine records regarding from problems in stability so if you really want to buy just go ahead unless a bit downside through web guard filter that slowdown the internet.

Remember you can (lightly) monitor each avast installation once you've connected it to your my.avast.com account.

 

[ZeroDay]

Earth do you know if there's a limit on how many computers you can connect to 1 Avast account?

 

[Ink]

Not that I currently know of, I've had up to 4 devices without any problems or notifications.

Ok thanks

I've gone back on my word and purchased Kis

Bitdefender has higher detection rates but lacks a lot in customization for users and also lack some very basic features, I prefer Kaspersky over Bitdefender.

I never liked both but I would prefer KIS. BIS was buggy and you'd have to either Google or talk to tech support the first few hours of use while KIS though heavy, proved to be that AV that was as stable it can be.
