Bitdefender 9 vs Symantec AV

Hi,

I have at one Sony Laptop PIV with 512 MB in RAM, Windows PRO SP-2. I am looking at good AV and have two candidates: BitDefender 9 and Symantec AV Coroprate, with my Company have access at this AV. I am looking between both alternatives:

1.- Light AV, less impact in my system.
2.- Good AV detection, better AV.

Do you would give me your comments about these AV or experience, suggest ?

Thank you,

 

i guess u should go for symantec AV corporate which should work well for your config.

 

Both will work well. Try both and use the one you like more.

 

Iwould say bitdefender but thats just my opintion. bitdefenders herristic detection is getting better and better atm

 

Bitdefender, but only b/c i've hard problems with norton resource usage in the past. Plus norton has missed a bunch of viruses on my pc in the past.

 

BitDefender. Reaction times, proactivity and virus lab efficiency.
Sure it's not as great in tests but real world situations played in its favor many times. Which i can't exactly say for Norton...
Still, they are both very good solutions.

 

if its version 9 of symantec antivirus, then go with it. ive read version 10 was a bit heavier. bitdefender is good too tho, try both and see which u like better.

 

Trial all advanced+ AV scanners and you will have a FREE very good protection for quite a long time.

 

Ok, like understand that BitDefender would take less resources vs Symantec right ? I tried F-secure but had high impcat in system performance was very slow my Laptop. I should take the less Impact AV over rate detection

 

You should try both, both are good AVs, however I think BD have better heuristics.

 

Try the New Symantec AntiVirus 10.1!

 

try the new bitdefender 10 thats out soon!!!!
