It's the same, in the free version you don't have Anti-Ramsomware protection and you can't configure the shields and so on. The free version is the basic protection (ATC also known as AVC) and they have the same signatures (the paid version has priority when it comes to updates so you will have a little delay in the free version).

This would affect the efficiency of the product and have different results paid version?
Possicionando Bitdefender Free with its free competitors, what would be the best to protect the system?

The paid version is better by default, you have more options in the shields, ransomware protection and so on. The free version has ATC (the old AVC) and that's all, the signatures are not as good as the paid version (because of the delay).

The Free version still has a good protection, It's enough if you don't go won shady sites.

In terms of detection rates, they have same percentage of rates.

You will use paid version because of features and not on detection rates. ;)

Bitdefender Free you already have Web blocking, Cloud blocking, and AVC.

As mentioned, those ransomware protection, backup and other stuff should treat depend on your needs.

The signatures are the same and are released at the same time both the free version and paid?

hello,

Bitdefender Free has the same protection technologies that its paid version? The efficiency of the free version is same as the paid version?

1. Same technology
2. Effectiveness of protection - the protections of free version are only limited in so far that you do not have ability to adjust protection levels (low, medium, high)

Bitdefender paid is tested by the labs using the default settings = the settings in the freeware version.

So, effectiveness of protection is essentially the same.

It is a standatd protocol where proprietary software are the first to receive updates because users pay for services, meanwhile free have little delay since it's a free version.

Response time varies.
