Software Review New Bitdefender Free Antivirus (TPCS)

[Anthony Qian]

Shadowra already made a video with BD free and kaspersky free , both had exellent result.

BD's ATD is very strong. In today's tests against a new ransomware, BD is one of a few AVs successfully blocking the encryption process (BD/Sophos/Huorong/CrowdStrike/Avast/WV blocked; Kaspersky/ESET Internet Security/Symantec/McAfee failed). See Devos Ransomware x1 (3/31) (in Chinese).

I tried the new TS, stil slow and memory hog, eventhough i have 10GB or RAM, so slow....
And everything is in Autopilot... can not change a single thing to my liking...

You will forgive me, but you do a half test. If you look bitdefender blocks most of the samples with access denied, considering it's 1000 samples. Avast has all its modules active in the free version, however bitdefender, kaspersky and others with free versions have several options blocked. You didn't let the script finish, you didn't do a manual scan with bitdefender and you didn't restart the computer. Bitdefender and various AVs remove the malware once the computer is rebooted. Greetings.

yes I didn't let the test finish as it had already let malware run and was active and communicating with outside remote ips... that is enough for me for a fail.

Maybe after reboot and don’t stop it, the AV protected the machine. I never see any av tester stop a test . Like @Shadowra said keep it running.

@kC77 is not a Youtube tester. I don't think he really cares. Creating antivirus test videos is a drag and just not very productive. Most people should just use the trial and test it for themselves.

I tested the system using Novabench free (Run Tests without GPU test), and it's faster than others:

Novabench scores (the higher, the better) averaged:

Bitdefender Free - 876
Microsoft Security - 826
Avast Free - 845
