Advice Request What's the difference between Bitdefender Free AVC and Bitdefender Paid AVC?

[SumTingWong]

What's the difference between Bitdefender Free AVC and Bitdefender Paid AVC? I contacted Bitdefender about this, and I haven't received their responded yet. Now I wonder what's the difference between the free AVC and the paid AVC and what part does the free AVC protect?

The signatures are not delayed in the free Version? After the pc start, the free Version takes a long time to update the definitions

No difference.

Bitdefender Free Antivirus doesn't receive Continuous Updates, but it does have everything else as listed Intelligent Antivirus, Advanced Threat Defense, Safe Browsing and Anti-Phishing & Anti-Fraud.

Last time I tried BD free about 6 months ago it updated every hour without fail. As far as I'm aware AVC works the same in the free version.

I thought the free Bitdefender AVC is the cut down premium version AVC.

Only features and support are limited in the Free or anything less than Total Security. That's why you pay more for Total Security than Antivirus Plus.

Other vendors may limit functionality of their Engines / Core Features.

Yes for about a year right now. Performance is not bad. No ads or pop up. Exclusion for files, folders, and websites available.
