Great video as always. I like the new testing procedures. Really tries to exercise the different components of AV software.

Nice, I Love your Channel! Pleased keep Up this Testing Videos

This tutorial is amazing and you are really good at teaching !! great job sir !

Thank you so much!! The PC Security Channel for such informative videos it help me a lot to find the best antivirus for my system❤️❤️ KEEP IT UP❤️😊

bless your soul and family my friend

Thank you for the informative and educational video!

Good Video. Like that Testing-Procedure. Using Bitdefender for almost a year now, I can tell you, I'm really glad, that I bought it. I'm really careful but somehow someone almost hacked my Browser last month. Bitdefender recognized this attack and protected my system instantly.

Finally, you have listened to me. Highly appreciated for the review.

The Ransomware Remediation might rely on some cues from the behavioral protetction, some delayed execution or memory analysis to do its thing. I don't really know, but these results look really good to me, considering that in an even worse case scenario that the three layers fail me, I have onedrive backups as a fail safe for the important stuff. Bitdefender is speedy and it doesn't annoy me as much as Kaspersky does with notifications and popups, nagging drives me up the wall!

Ransomware remediation works the same way in all AV products that aren't backing up to some external system. It uses shadowcopy to restore the file to the previous version. This will not work on systems where shadowcopy is disabled. This will also not work for most current strains of ransomware that deletes the snapshot. In my own testing, one really impressive feat of bitdefender that I found is their pre-execution analysis. The test case was pretty specific, a custom program that behaves like ransomware. In my testing, bitdefender was unique in analyzing the code and blocking it's execution before even the first line of code ran.

You were using Windows Ghost spectre SE? That surprise me, he makes good S.O😁

I'm switching to Bitdefender seems good for my day to day uses

Nice to see a video from oyu Leo. Have t say i've seen Bit defender do better but still not bad for the most part.

Thanks... it's working... Good Job...!

Leo, please consider testing the Bitdefender, Comodo, etc., products that create a bootable USB drive (usually Linux based) that claim to clean infections while Windows is "asleep." Thanks.

We need a 2022 review too !!! :)

Nice test!

Nice job thanks.

By the way there is a Dark Theme for the BDTS interface if you don't like the light one.

Use a layered approach to PC security. Bitdefender is a fine program, but nothing is perfect. The average user should be doing regular backups using something like Macrium Reflect to keep some recent good images that can quickly be restored if need be. Make sure to make USB rescue media in case the PC won't boot and save backups to an external unplugged drive. I've had Macrium Reflect save my butt a few times, not from any virus or ransomware, but from buggy updates including windows updates. At any time I am only ten minutes away from putting the computer back to a happy place in time and all is well again.

That was an extremely unexpected and disapointing result given i use bitdefender....

The biggest problem with Bitdefender that i found not long ago is that if you have some power hungry application that chips over 50% of your cpu, bitdefender false-positively flagged the app and added to quarantine, locking employee from working, and adding new .exe file would shortly be restricted. Worst case is that the pop up for each action did not appear, so i am guessing that it appeared once for user that did not see it, and then it got locked down. So in that regard, i already hate bitdefender, and for failing me when it came out, as it was just a nice tray icon, and no protection what so ever. Thanks Leo for the test run, i would love to see internet Security Eset 2021 next, and the premium variant and comparison of those two, as i am wondering if they have any differences at all.
