How are you liking Bitdefender, my friend?

 

[Pat MacKnife]

Hey ! I like it yes , pretty silent, no popups no ads, good webprotection and everything is smooth , no slowdowns....

I guess the Intel® i3-10100. Quad-Core @3,60 Ghz to 4,30 Turbo is really fast and even faster combined with the SSD.
Nice one.

This is a new desktop from May 3 (Its a Budget Pc but didn't wanted to spend too much money for a Pc with daily tasks : surfing the web, open some word documents and a little game)
Hell yeah this i3 is fast with SSD (500 MB read/write) , i bought a new SSD with faster specs (Samsung 980 500 GB 3100/2600 MB) i'm waiting for delivery

Start this Newyear 2023 with F-Secure Safe, all the rest is the same config as in 2022.

Uninstalled BD because of this High resources :

Is this normal ? MS edge was open with 5 tabs , when i close edge then BD drops down to 350 MB
Also tested with Google chrome, it raises from 350 MB to 750 MB in about 15 minutes .....

Edit : After an update Everything is back to normal now, don't know who fixed it, Bd , windows ?!

 

[Pat MacKnife]

My internet became slow (web browsing) in the last month so i uninstalled BD a few days ago ... OMG everything is normal again !! My guess was BD.
Now using AVG free with trafficLight in browser, works fine.

 

[Pat MacKnife]

Retry my F-Secure Safe (internet Security)

You have tried all the anti-viruses I like the most: AVG, Avira, Bitdefender and Microsoft Defender, what did you like the most? And what is your opinion about every one of them?

 

[Pat MacKnife]

AVG is very good protection, but i don't like the nagging ad popups (and avast was involved with data selling some time ago)
Microsoft defender is also good, but kind of heavy scanning in folders (like in download folder all icons loading slower than with other AV's)
Bitdefender has always been my favorite, but lately several bugs with Windows 11 and not auto updating after computer start.
Now running Avira for a few weeks, also good in protection, a little bit lighter than BD, sometimes a popup but not that much.

@Pat MacKnife Users of MT Dark theme can't read your text. Please change your text color to something that works for dark and light themes.

@Pat MacKnife has Avira still an issue with card- and eID-readers?

Is your security configuration up to date? Are you using MacOS or Windows with the AVs you've tried? I guess you're using BD Free based on your post?

 

[Pat MacKnife]

Yes its up o date, BD free with Windows 11
Uninstalling BD free this evening . . .

 

[oldschool]

Yes its up o date, BD free with Windows 11

Then you need to edit configuration, please, because it shows MacOS 15 Sequoia.

Uninstalling BD free this evening . . .

Why?
