I am using Bitdefender Internet Security 2017. No doubt, the best anti-malware engine out there.

Hi, I'm using Kaspersky, but for years I was using Norton, to be honest, i think I like Norton better and will be going back when my 90days left on Kaspersky runs out.

Using BD Free AV for a few weeks now as I'm waiting for the new free AVG/AVAST AV.

It caught a few backdoor trojans yesterday when they were on-access. After which I scanned with MBAM, HMP, ZAM and AdwCleaner and they found nothing. Nothing from VS too. I then scanned using BD Free AV and true enough all the backdoor trojans (in the registry) were revealed and cleansed off.

BD Free AV saves my day. Who says AV is not needed? I wonder if I had AVG/AVAST Free AV installed would it do the same? The only gripe I have of BD is it does not scan removable media.

Note:- Now I'm watching out for giveaway/promotion/hot deal for BD AV Plus 2017 which coms with built-in ransomware protection and removable drive scanning ability

Thanks.

Never heard of that one before.

Never heard of that one before.

Ikarus was one of the very first antivirus companies way back in the day. The company won lots of awards early on. Emsisoft used their signatures in their products for a long time.

Ikarus is a small Austrian firm. I suspect nowadays they are mostly corporate AV providers but the standalone AV scanner is still available. It is a lot like Windows Defender with a few features that Windows Defender does not have. Their detection rate is pretty good.

It's more of a boutique scanner.

Webroot, VoodooShield (free) on my personal computers and Bitdefender IS on work computer that is used by myself and others.

Seems Ikarus is having trouble on the management of detection algorithm, cause usually even though you implement a license borrowed engine; then the product should be automatically lessen the erroneous result.
