[QUOTE="IceMan7, post: 1120096, member: 121355"] Hello I am new here on the forum. I registered because I am looking for an alternative to Fsecure because of recent actions like Avira Great job. Congratulations to Eset. But one test doesn't prove anything ;) Bitdefender lost by a tiny margin. Let me refresh the topic a bit I have a question for you - what is better to install on your computer today - Bitdefender or Eset? A few comments from me as additional information. I absolutely agree with this. I observe various tests and I don't remember any major failures of Bitdefender protection. I've seen Eset more than once. Moreover, Eset is just "getting started" with the cloud and decent ransomware protection (LiveGuard). Bitdefender has had it for a long time - I don't remember how long but I think at least 2 years and it works. Besides, for years the most frequently mentioned is the holy trinity - Kaspersky, Eset and Bitdefender. I've never had Kaspersky because of its origin (Russia) but I respected it and always considered it the best. The rest tried to be ;) I had Eset in the past for a few years. Light and fast. Usually the software is well-developed, without popping up errors, bugs, etc. But it was annoying, it was picky about everything and it always happened to let something through when it did a second opinion scan from time to time. Of course, most often nothing serious, but still.If I remember correctly, it even managed to let in a Trojan twice. And I remember that this heuristic had its quirks, because it could block a file, then release it and then block it again - as if the signatures didn't want to decide whether it was dangerous or not. But I never felt super safe, but I lived with it until I ran out of patience. I changed to Bitdefender. It was a fortress. I wasn't afraid of anything. But it was constantly bugging - sometimes it wouldn't start with the system, every now and then after updating the signatures it would tell me to restart the system, etc. I even had to reinstall it once because it went crazy. But despite that, it seemed like nothing would get into the computer. And you could feel that it took up more space on the disk (a bigger colossus) and was heavier than Eset. No scan second opinion has ever found anything. Never In the end, I chose Fsecure, which was in short somewhere in the middle - stability like Eset, security like Bitdefender. Of course, in simplified terms. And now - unfortunately... Fsecure is dying. Here the same as in the case of BD. No scan second opinion has ever found anything. So - what is worth choosing now? Eset won the test. Finally, much improved and caught up with and even slightly overtook Bitdefender. The question is until when, because soon there will probably be a new version of BD and it will leave again. In my opinion - Eset means stability, Bitdefender not necessarily because there is always something wrong with it or it irritates. Eset means very good software but Bitdefender is still a security fortress. Am I thinking correctly?

Only, if there are still problems with its stability, why not choose Eset, which has currently improved a lot and is at least at a similar level in terms of security to BD? I am leaving aside here that Eset is a lighter software but BD is also not as heavy as it used to be. Regards [/QUOTE]
