App Review Kaspersky vs Bitdefender | Tested vs Malware (TPSC)

[stefanos]

It is not a conclusive test to determine which is "light or heavy". It's about prioritizing processes when software finds and removes threats. An ordinary user may never be in this situation to eliminate hundreds of threats. Under normal usage conditions, BitDefender is under Kaspersky's resource consumption. The fact that BitDefender uses more RAM can be a good thing. Empty RAM is useless - It was also discussed here - Why antivirus uses so much RAM – And why that is actually a good thing!

Add: And when I say "resource consumption" I mean the general impact on the system and not the RAM usage.

Look the video at 3:00 min. 100% CPU :emoji_grimacing:

BitDefender is under Kaspersky's resource consumption. Your comment

Looks like we hoped for nothing. Follow me what I meant: when scans, BitDefender can use more resources than any other software, in this case Kaspersky. But under other conditions, its impact on the system is minimal. This is due to the technologies implemented in the product. You can not take this test as a benchmark, to say which is light or heavy. And this is not what I am saying, but many other independent tests that give bitdefender a lot easier than kaspersky.

I have tried both products a lot of times. I never found more lightweight the Bitdefender.

If you tweak both products for absolute maximum protection Kaspersky internet security will run rings around Bitdefender. Kaspersky's Application control is solid at default but once tweaked if offers amazing protection as does Trusted Application mode and the firewall if you tweak it correctly.

a few years ago i ran Bitdefender for a while and I came across a few bugs, that, when reported to them on their forums they didn't seem to care. I dropped it and tried it again about 6 months later and it was just buggy and, at the time Bitdefender's customer service was absolutely terrible. I don't know what Kaspersky's customer service is like as I've never had to contact them for anything.

Kaspersky has always been the better product in my opinion for years and years Kaspersky has consistently offered top notch security their products have just always been a cut above again, in my personal opinion. The only real problem Kaspersky had for a very long time was how heavy KIS was, it was pretty much unusable it was that heavy, but even that's changed now.

The only problem imo with Kaspersky is completeley absent dealing with pup's and pua's and Bitdefender also.Can be very annoying for anyone destroying Kaspersky's reputation to a simple user and that's a pitty.

Overall, i agree with that, the quality of Kaspersky products is over BitDefender, as I said.
BitDefender has to work on the quality of the final products, which has been bugged in recent years.
If they succeed in stabilizing the product in this way (refer to home products) they will probably be the best (sorry for my english).

Bitdefender is a great AV. But they do not finish tuning it, I do not know now but at the time I used it but I could never have it for more than a week, so I left.

Don't apologize for your English you should be proud you have taught yourself another language. I think it's great that people such as yourself take the time and make the effort to learn another language, more of us should do it. And, Your English is perfectly fine you should be proud.

I agree - If Bitdefender just spent more time refining their products instead of just selling buggy products they'd have amazing security software.

Yes, bravo to non-English-speaking members for diving in!
