Battle License question between ESET Nod32 and Bitdefender Suite?

[sportsfan7702]

I have a license for BIS 2016 and while it's a tad heavy on my system it's not that bad. Going into 2016 since I have about 220 days left on that license, I'm wondering from other's experience if it's worthy to keep using the license I have, (buy a NOD 32 1 year license on Black Friday) and wait to activate it until the BIS 2016 is expired or activate NOD 32 immediately.

I would wait until BIS 2016 is expired if it was me.

Wait until BitDefender license expire then activate Nod32.

Are Bitdefender and Eset pretty close in detection?

yup

I thought so. I had used ESET back with version 6 and 7 then it got expensive.

as other members said you may keep bitdefender license until due date, if you find 2016 version too heavy you may use bitdefender 2014 it is much light than newer versions.. as for detections bitdefender is much better and include zero day response it is automated with eset you have to do tweaks to HIPS for zero day response...

I may try 2014 then. Never thought about it.

give it a try and you tell us... what happens is that with 2015-2016 version bitdefender decided to include some features that arent really part of an AV as reg cleaner, system checker etc... be advised that some "stuff" may be still present e.g: delay on boot, some bugs... but it works for me, it may be the same for you xD

By rating from 1-10, how you can tolerate the slow/unresponsiveness of Bitdefender? You may provide some alternative solution by reducing other programs running on background.

As always you have a license which its more than 6 months and seems a waste if discarded so better stick to it.

ESET is good on most productivity system in terms of system impact.

Even though ESET is better, stick to BitDefender until your license expires. Then activate ESET.

I like ESET. BAV and BIS 2016 is fast performance wise, but I dropped them due to their support. Horrible support... Not that I need help all the time, but one issue with activation keys was a nightmare. Makes you wonder why they spend so much on marketing, but offer very little home support (ex: forums, 1 month respond via emails...etc).

I had 3 - 3 user / 1 year license keys. When you add them to your account, it doesn't spread to 9 users, 1 year. It 'adds' the years to 3 users so: 3 user / 3 years. I was on the phone for hours talking to someone who barely understood what I was saying and email was non-existent. That rubbed me wrong with that one incident.
