Was just earlier in the week having a look at the basic Bitdefender Antivirus edition, from the perspective of a regular Kaspersky user. The interface felt cleaner and everything seemed to run smoothly. I would feel confident recommending Bitdefender as an alternative to others, while sticking to Kaspersky myself for wanting more granularity in the settings. And for that Bitdefender was throwing false positives on a number of uncommon software tools I had lying around. Not something that should be a bother at all for most users.

Great content. To the point w/o wasting everyones time! TY keep up the great work

If we made false positive test between Bitdefender and Kaspersky, I'm sure Kaspersky would be the winner. Because as you said, Kaspersky is more likely to allow executions and to search behavioural patterns rather than Bitdefender blocks suspicious or malicious signatures ,it's more likely to block them instead of relying on behavioural search.. This may allow false positives more for Bitdefender side.... Both products are good, but I would prefer Kaspersky nevertheless, because I trust Kaspersky's behaviour based detection strength more than Bitdefender's behavioural detection. .. :) Thanks for your nice videos..

this is what i have been waiting for

Great as usual. Surprised to see that both Kaspersky and BitDefender scores are almost matching which means BitDefender improved a lot. But again I would prefer Kaspersky anytime because its less costly and consumes much less resources than BitDefender. Also any type of scan can be customized in Kaspersky which seems to be somewhat restricted in BitDefender. Anyway, either of the two are great products.

Great video. But instead of only malware tests can you also look into the advanced threat defenses of these antivirus since they they pose quite a major issue. For malware tests antivirus are getting better at detecting them

Finally, 2024 Kaspersky live test, thanks leo

Thanks a lot for that awesome video could you make a video about the top 3 or 5 free Antivirus ?

This was insanely close! I believe BitDefender was on the better side purely because of that one detection that wasn't temporary on Kaspersky's side, but they're both great software.

Both Kaspersky and Bitdefender have strong anti-malware capabilities, but their methods are slightly different. Kaspersky provides a System Watcher component that monitors system activity and uses various databases and algorithms to detect and block suspicious activity, effectively protecting against zero-day threats and ransomware. On the other hand, Bitdefender excels at real-time protection and has a slightly better result in detecting and eliminating 2,000 types of malware during testing.

both antivirus are too good around 2 year ago, i tried bitdefender ,but due to unavoidable notification by bitdefender i have to shift to Kaspersky, but just after few months later when people complaint about this, bitdefender allowed users to stop notifications
