I have been leaning towards Bit Defender for all my free AV needs. Seems light and ranks really good.

Last I heard MSE was about the worst of the heap. I used to recommend it all the time, my thinking was who would know how to protect Windows better than MS? Turns out it's some other company!

I can't say I've had problems with it, but the people who test these types of things say it's pretty shit. I got the attached information from this site. The only thing MSE did well was not wrongly block files. I think that's because it lets pretty much anything execute! :) Anyway, I just wanted everyone to have this info, makes not to me what people use as long as I'm not the poor bastard that has to clean it up!
*Well wtf? I guess Matt's chosen a more stringent AV here at Teh! It won't even let me attach pictures! I shall remedy this shortly!

That must be full Scottish because my brain can't process the sounds all those letters make when spoken!
Indeed we are! Hope you are doing well, and we will have to do a hangout soon!

The PDF you linked tested Bitdefender Internet Security not Bitdefender Free Antivirus.
Where is the comparison between the free and paid version? (This doesn't include the free AV.)
Why does something claiming to be lightweight need 700MB of disk space?

I can't answer that because I dunno! I assume, probably incorrectly, that both versions (free & paid) would use the same engine.

I guess the real point is that the tests used all the capacity of the suites, not just the AV:
"In this test, all protection features of the product can be used to prevent infection - not just signatures or heuristic file scanning. A suite can step in at any stage of the process – accessing the URL, download- ing the file, formation of the file on the local hard drive, file access, file execution "
