An excellent program

Overall:

I've used Bit Defender for years. It's an excellent adjunct to your main AntiVirus programs. For ICQ and Windows Messenger users you can also use BitDefender for ICQ and BitDefender for Windows Messenger for added protection.

Good but a bit bloated

Interface: 3
Features: 3
Ease of use: 3
Value: 3
Overall:

This product is highly rated and works especially well at detecting unknown viruses. This is a good thing. The bad thing is its pretty bloated. Even though the active virus shield is not active it still has 2 running processes taking up anywhere from 20-30MB of RAM. Not the worse thing in the world but pretty unacceptable for an on-demand only antivirus product. I'm sure only a simple hex edit keeps this from becoming the full version of Bitdefender. I like it for backup scanning but just wish they would make is less heavy on resources.

Second best

Interface: 5
Features: 4
Ease of use: 5
Value: 4
Overall:

Very well layed out program. Relatively fast scanning,very stable,modest system resource usage and you can tell very well written. Additionally Bitdefender is rated very high in all anti-virus tests. This software would rate five stars except for the fact that Bitdefender says that there is no real time protection.

Stripped down to do what it is meant to do.

Overall:

I recommend this program due to it's easy of use and effectiveness. It can be scheduled to update on it's own and does so with out a hitch. It's lean with a sleek GUI that makes it easy to work with and set up.
