But if it ever does happen, Malwarebytes will be silently waiting on the sideline ready for it's time to shine I haven't had an issue with removal of infections on drives I've plugged in, but so far *knocks on wood* it has been perfect at detecting and blocking infections from happening. There are trade offs between the strength of real time protection and disk usage and using a HDD as your boot drive is definitely going to exacerbate their impact.

Yeah to be fair, I've only used the free version of Bitdefender, and in my limited period of experience it hogged the HDD like crazy and wasn't able to restrain a virus after scanning and detecting it.Īh, yeah I guess I could see disk usage being an issue with a hard disk instead of an SSD.

I picked up a 3 year license for the 5 device "Total Security 201x" on sale for I think roughly $75ish about a year ago on Avangate so if you catch a sale their prices aren't bad at all. I will admit, Bitdefender's full scan times are a little long and the UI could definitely use some work, but otherwise it is a pretty solid product in my experience.īack to question: Have you tried doing a full uninstall, reboot, and then reinstall? I have experienced a bad installation with the free version in the past that had similar issues on my parents laptop and removing it and then reinstalling fixed the problem. But then again I use the paid version, so that could be the difference. Personally, as someone that uses Bitdefender, I've never had an issue. I think WannaCry and NotPytra are perfect examples of the importance of having good active protection. However, it is never a bad idea to have some form of active malware protection as a single worm can royally mess things up. Malwarebytes free version and HitManPro are excellent secondary anti-malware products to have for periodic scanning when you think you might already be infected. In fact, I think I remember reading somewhere that other anti-malware products like Emsisoft use Bitdefender's engine because of it's strength in detecting previously unknown malware. How so? Most lab tests of Bitdefender constantly have it at or near the top of the pack when it comes to protections and performance.
Norton, McAffee, and *shudder* Webroot come to mind among others. While Bitdefender is just bad, some of these are basically viruses in and of themselves. But if you do want a proper antivirus, Vipre, Avira, and Avast are usually what I recommend. I don't bother with active virus protection, I've found Malwarebytes' free version and common sense is enough for me. Bitdefender is pretty trash IMO, there are definitely better options.
