I like the new avatar! I am testing this out today to see how it goes. Trailing Antivirus Plus because I don’t need a firewall.
The BD logo is badass. I'm trying out BD on 2 of my computers. For my family PC it seems to be the sweet spot since BD is fully automated and doesn't require manual interaction. On my gaming PC I installed it just for a trial run. I'll go back to ESET after a week. For some reason my gaming PC doesn't like any other AV except ESET and with ESET it runs like a breeze. :emoji_beer:

Have you actually noticed a difference in your gaming PC?

Can you tell me if you notice any difference in performance, as I have found BItdefender to be quite on the heavy side of security software but I haven't used the 2020 version before. Maybe they improved their performance from last year?
Thanks

BD 2020 is a massive improvement compared to previous versions. Except for the slightly high RAM usage (250-300MB) it doesn't bog the PC. The best part is that the suite is entirely automated, requiring no user input(perfect for my parents). It runs great on my family PC which had McAfee earlier. But on my gaming PC which had ESET, I do feel a slight difference in web browsing and general responsiveness.

Did you uninstall Bitdefender, or just reimage the system? If you uninstalled it how did it go?
Nah I didn't uninstall BD since I felt that would be an insult to it. I simply did a secure erase of my SSD and reinstalled windows. Since it's my gaming desktop, I don't have any important files and all my games are backed up in my external HDD. Will be installing the games today, specially the Witcher 3 and Crysis 3. For a gaming PC, nothing can beat the lightness of ESET. :cool::emoji_beer:

I don't use Edge Chromium usually although I have it installed, my main and daily browser is FF and it works fine here with SandBoxie :)

Also I still haven't tried Edge C. with SandBoxie, will try later...
