I've had not problems with it so far.  Cross fingers.

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! 

Ah, ok then... here is what I was trying to show you! :)






This is easily fixed by going here!

Linux tbh.

Aye, that's the real answer but sometimes not doable.

And hello handsome! (hug)

How you been homie?  Been missing our bs sessions!

Aight ese. What up with you, Cabron?

And yes, we're overdue a hangout.

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?

(it was Hispanic American (hug) )

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

Ah, that's why I was confused then!  I'm too far north!

 8-|  (oof)  X-S  :?

Merka in the snow?

Ha, you're timing is amazing!  No, it's raining!  I am moving to a new server.  Give it 1 minute and I'll have those copied over!

It's all more better now, see!

Cool, ta Ken.

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 "

Ah very good point!  That's why we need that new i7 to run Norton with its AV, Firewall, Privacy Guard, Link Scanner, NSA Notifier, and some other stuff in there!

My only issue with bitdefender is that it tries to block far too many URLs/websites for my liking. I'm sure it's stopped me from using pastebin in the past because it blocks the post.php page (or whatever it is called) when you submit.
