Bitdefender - Any Good??

[Anon_F]

So what do people think about Bitdefender as AV & Security Software?
I have been using Kaspaskey but it recently got bad press as not the best out their.
Bitdefender & Avast have been recommended to me.

What do others use?

MAB and SAS for Spyware.

Avast + Windows Firewall
And once a month Malwarebytes. And ocasionally Trend Micro Housecall online scanner.

I used to swear by Bit Defender and found it very good, BUT now I use Microsoft Security Essentials and like Evan I use Malwarebytes monthly and also SUPERantySpy all free downloads as I cannot justify the extra expense of Bit Defender or any other pay for security, but if you are willing to pay for internet security Bit Defender is a good one and I never had any problems. Personally I think the free security is as good as the pay for ones.

If you want to pay for AV, then the only real option is ESET Smart Security, Or Kaspersky.

Avast fo the last 5 years or more.

MSE + Windows firewall on me sisters pc.

that's the AVG paid-for version, their freebie was, inho, a pig-in-a-poke.
