Kaspersky 6 v Bitdefender 10

[Sjoeii]

What is your opinion about these two?
Which is better? Lighter? more secure?

[lodore]

hmm interesting question and i cant wait for other peoples opintions.

both great av's obvisally kasperksy has fast signiture updates and proactive defence. bitdefender has Bhave heristics and quite fast signitture updates both have http scanners.

[trjam]

Geez, there isnt even a contest here. I would pay double for Kas before taking a free Bit 10.

[lodore]

good point lol. not atm anyway. maybe later. but kaspersky does still have some bugs in it

[trjam]

Kas 6 has no bugs, Kis yes. Anti-slacker sucks. But I have to wonder if this isnt the product to be watching for the first of the year. But they do have a ways to go and dont download their beta, you will really have a headache. Let them figure it out, but, I like Don and something tells me, he wont say something, just to look foolish later on. I think he calls it straight. If it is a rose, he calls it a rose. If it smells like crap, he stays silent. So Kas may be the one that proves us all wrong.

Having used KAV6 since the beta days, I have not noticed any bugs. It has run extremely well.
It is obvious that BD10 does have some problems. For me it would be an obvious choice - KAV.

Kaspersky will have a new heurictic engine by end of this year :D

[Sjoeii]

After running KIS 6 for a while I'm running BitDefender right now. I must say it runs smoother than KIS. PC is speeding up and it passed all the Firewall and port scans.

u mean in mp1 or still at a later date?

[Don Pelotas]

All versions will get it.

Before I started using Norton I used Bitdefender which let a virus go by and destroy my computer. Never again!

[RejZoR]

Yes, every AV can let by something that "destroys" your PC. Problem is just that some people have the "destroy" level set very low (eg destroyed means having some adware thats constantly showing popups).

Yes, it should come via the updates...around nov/dec.

[pykko]

Kav is lighter and much secure also. :)

i think bd 10 is better than kav6,i used kav6,it has so many bugs, but bd 10 lags my os now...

I have not found bugs in KAV6 and have used it since the last few weeks of the beta. It runs smoothly on my system with no conflicts.
I do not know about BD10, but the v9 had so many conflicts that I removed it even though I still have a valid license for a few months yet.

I am sure that KAV is lighter, scans much faster, and has a better detection rate. Also the support for Kaspersky is far superior.

It is no contest for me based upon my own experiece - KAV6.

In my experience, KAV is better, but not by too much. BitDefender 10 solves many of the compatibility problems that plagued version 9, and the detection rates are not so bad either. In my personal experience, BD's detection rates are getting a bit better.

If you have the extra money then I suggest you go for KAV. Or else you can have BD. Both are very nice. As such Kaspersky will have a new heuristic engine at the end of the year, so you're warranted on that front too. :)

I didn't noticed any bugs and/or problems with KAV v6.

Can you name some of these "bugs"?

[Chubb]

I think the bugs, if any, are related to compatability with other security programs rather than the program itself. Since there are so many security programs out there, it can hardly be 100% compatability and 100% bug free.

[trjam]

I still feel that Kas is way ahead of Bit, and with changes coming, can only make it better.

[FadeToBlack]

Even if I am from the country BD is made I must say that it has a very good detection and triple the problems KAV + KIS have together.

[chrisjackson1985]

to be honest, i think there are quite a few extremly great softwares on the market now, most have improved and to be honest, id feel safe using quite a few of them.

kis vs bitdefender is 10?

i would have to say bitdefender, its very very close, but i really dont like kasperskys firewall, and i have had problems with it, especially with allowing programs to connect etc (allow deny)

its a cose contest and i would recommend both, it depends on your preference.

currently im using the new trend micro internet security 2007, and i must say... other than the high ram usage (if this doesnt affect you), i would very muxh, highly recommend this software aswell.

[trjam]

Does it have heuristic detection.

[chrisjackson1985]

both have it yes,

kaspersky i know has it but i dont know what its called.
bitdefenders is called B-HAVE

[austin1257]

Actually I think Kas doesnt, but will. I use Kas 6 but have a license for Nod. Holding onto the license to see what the next product will be like. But right now, Kas is hard to beat.

Yes, it does, two types of it in fact, there will be a new version released later.

Kaspersky has a Proactive protection module which only works realtime. The standard heuristics in KAV is quite old at the moment, but will be updated later this year.

BitDefender's heuristic engine is a mix of Behaviour Blocker and standard heuristics, called B-HAVE (Behavorial Heuristics in Advanced Virtual Environment). BitDefender's heuristic engine is currently the second best in the world.

Which is the best.

[chrisjackson1985]

i think it is TruPrevent by panda security.

i know, funny isnt it.

such a good part, for such poor software.

[Londonbeat]

I would have thought Firecat was referring to NOD32, not Panda.

thanks in advance
lodore

my new setup will be av+look n stop+ antispyware

[btman]

I have KIS but i have the firewall turned off because I have comodo. Right now mines at 11,380 k for memory. And now it went down to 10,000 k... Pretty light lol. I have BitDefender 8 free edition for on-demand scanning though... (used to have bd 9 anti-virus with all protection off but it conflicted with kaspersky apparently and cost me 190$ to get it fixed)

For me KIS HIGHEST is at 15,000 k while doing normal surfing
