The thing here is that Bitdefender was actually parallelly disinfecting the file along with active protection , while Kaspersky was only actively protecting the system and was prompting the user to disinfect the file. Test cases differ with different Av's as both have different settings. Kaspersky still takes the round , however it definitely depends on User's preference. I have used Kaspersky from the year 2009 -2011, and although it was great on the protection, it was a system hogger(i had a pentium IV back then). I have used Eset from 2011-2013 and i really liked the lightweight of the AV, I moved on to Avast from 2013-2016(i was a college student and needed to save funds),plus i got free Premium protection from Avast for referring few of my friends 😅. I have again moved back to Eset from 2016 after building a new system on the same year and never really looked back to other products. I have heard much about Bitdefender, but never really got around the bush to try it.

Really?

With a I9 it legit does not have any issues with that. Just get a better CPU

@@soledfamily That is not the point, the VM had only a share of the host CPU anyway, the difference in usage here is that Kaspersky was waiting for user input to desinfect files, Bitdefender scales itself up in priority and deals with threats automatically even analysing the execution chain while cleaning up, considering it closed malx reassures my trust in their behavioural protection and on it safeguarding my less tech savvy relatives.

I was very pleased with Kaspersky, but I'm very content with Bitdefender as well. I uninstalled Kaspersky because of a storng accusation that Kaspersky is spying on the US for Russia.

Donald Trump got laid with Stormy Daniels and was very pleased. What could go wrong for him?

Same here

Why using then a anti virus in the first place when you have some common sense for what you're doin online? Just use Windows Defender instead and max out the UAC Settings in Windows. It's free and suits everyones needs as long as they know what they're doing online.

Russia and China give me the creeps.

@@netrixon988 anti-virus is to be more careful

@@richardbayer5702: Why?

For me as well. Because an antivirus can be overwhelmed of bypassed and can't always have a 100% effeciency.

@@Spido68_the_spectator not true as you saw with Kaspersky it did just fine

@@johnnyblaze9217 yeah but kaspersky is one of the best avs out there so it will do fine. Other avs do get overwhelmed. So his point is still valid.

Me too

@@johnnyblaze9217 well by the way this is just a matter of probability ...both Bitdefender and Kaspersky are good as you can see . one can easily score a 100% detection rate so don't be surprised..even Bitdefender can get 100% detection but there is a probability that Kaspersky takes 99.999% but one filthy worm is missed and your whole PC is crapped ..so blocking the execution chain allows for blocking the potentially undetected threats....in my scope of view having 99.5% detection rate but blocking the entire execution chain is better than having a detection of 99.999% but having a nasty ransomware. In the end it is your choice but all this is useless as Bitdefender is trash this year (2022) advanced threat defense became junk and shields are worse. DEFINITELY BITDEFENDER IN 2020 AND KASPERSKY 2022..

it could be false positives tho

ShayZula it could.. but it’s malware from a site

ShayZula the risks are tiny

Therefore it is superior. Case closed.

With a different set of viruses the result could be different. This test only tests these partiocular viruses but there are millions.

he should have also compared scanning... i bet one of them does a much better job than the other. Stopping from execution is only part of what an antivirus is supposed to do.

OMG that is really sad lol

so much.

Maybe also with Kaspersky Security Cloud free instead of Kaspersky Free antivirus. As it offers more features.

@@xanton1895 They are exactly the same for tests like these. The paid versions offer other features like anti-spam or whatever.

@@SimDoes isn't the Cloud lighter on the system?

@@xanton1895 I fail to distinguish the difference. I tried both and don't see a difference except the names.

@@hircine92h Nope. Kaspersky Cloud is heavier than Free on the System

Well, the exception didn't do anything for detection rate of actual malware, just some preventative measure in case it's zero-day exploits/malware. Either way tho the results were probably not accurate since both systems were clean afterwards, so it's really just preference anyway

I would pick Kaspersky just because you have much more customization. You can edit each rule/privilege of a process and you can generally do more.

@@MaksKCS I like Kaspersky a little bit better too,but they are both real great AV's

They are literally the strongest and the most reliable security softwares ever in the world. I have Kaspersky in my computer and Bitdefender in my smartphone.

I use private surfing and it's ok

So do I. Never got a virus since that time.

SG News Live I use Avg and since 2012 and i never got infected with a virus.

Nah, the best AV is common sense.

@@dantdmnl AVG AVAST QUICK HEAL this is not AV.

Why is it better?

@@arvidsniper01 Bitdefender auto deletes flies Without permission after suspecting they are malware

@@yoongmian1599 okay thx XD

@@arvidsniper01 and you cannot retrieve back or recover it 😐

@@yoongmian1599 that's why I like bitdefender.

upload upload upload :D

That was so sharp by it, it should even be more agressive

Yeah and that's a big win.

@@Spido68_the_spectator Kaspersky will do the same if its executing malware through powershell or cmd or wscript

That could be bad since an attacked could use PowerShell to their advantage to launch a bunch of malware just like you saw in this video

@@uttiya10 well Kaspersky blocked more than bitdefender as you saw in the video

@@uttiya10 + powershell malware is easier to detect because it's like an open source code if it executes exes the problem is the exes not the powershell itself

@@Anonymous-lu7ws Kaspersky only blocked more because active threat defense was excluding the malware samples since they were executed by PowerShell

@fares ayham if an exe executes malware who do you stop the malware or the exe the executor (root) must be stopped or else it's like nothing is done

@Rick. I agree totally re resource gobbling by BD. I used Kaspersky last year and thought i'd try BD upon renewal based on reviews. I find BD starts an update when I'm gaming and slows everything down. Kaspersky however was virtually unoticable in the baskground with a reminder that update was due which I could do at a time of my choosing. I'm going back to Kaspersky on renewal.

@@prg2812 Trying to pick the best AV solution is not easy - they seem to play a game of pass the hat - this months pick isn't necessarily next months - it obviously depends a lot on who does the test and on what system, system conditions etc. But so far for gaming Kaspersky seems to be one of the best. Even the free version of Kaspersky is superior to Avast, AVG and Avira imo - they seem to be playing a game of lets see who can pack the most bloatware into their software. Out of that trio I'd say Avast seems best at the moment.

RickOShay If it uses more power it’s more aggressive against things interrupting your computer

RickOShay so go for bitdefender

@@insanitylol that does not necessarily mean its better...

@@user-zt5rk6dt2p do u have any benchmark that proves bit d is better than kav?🤔

Thank you it works, got the red K back.

does it work in free version?

Where is about?

@@MaksKCS Right click on the icon in the Notification area, Also type IDDQD capitalized.

Sven D. Waterlaw multiple anti-viruses may interfere with each other just like two people disagreeing on a condition. Using multiple anti-viruses also increases RAM/CPU usage. You do get a higher detection rate, but I suggest running them separately; enable one and disable the other, then switch periodically.

What does that mean ?

You do realize stores don't sell Kaspersky anymore. They're a Russian based company made from criminals and got caught stealing thousands of credit cards, etc.

@@yamiii where are the sources?

@@yamiii Really?

@@yamiii NICE scam :) you believe that crap

Pra que isso tudo? Malwarebytes eu só uso com Tron Script se for pra limpar um PC ownado, mas de proteção proativa eu uso só Bitdefender premium.

I have an i5 4200H and BidDefender is only heavy when it updates (you can adjust the frequency of them if you have one of the premium versions) but you can still do stuff and it stays calm otherwise with no CPU usage (i mean the slight CPU and storage usage on Task manager when you open something don't really affect your experience ). Better experience if you have a SSD

Avg is about equal with Avast.

@@aizfaizie919 i know, but the last avast/avg review is one year old...

No, Kaspersky doesn't disinfect after scan. It needs to finish it's disinfection process by a restart (same as Bitdefender). If the disinfection only begins after a scan is finished for real time protection, the virus would have done some serious damage in most scenarios. Kaspersky and Bitdefender are not dumb enough to do that.

apparently not that good at isolating some things :) at least the windows defender sandbox, is that the same thing?
