Does Bitdefender Free catch the same things as Standard and Pro?

Topic says it all.

I use AVG as my primary resident AV and Bitdefender as my secondary on demand AV....

Does Bitdefender Free catch the same things as Standard and Pro?

 

Yes.
But remember, the scanner of the free version is on demand and not on access.

 

Indeed.
Thanks.

 

Are you from SOFTWIN?

I don't think that the free version as the same engine like the new versions of the Standard and Plus versions!

 

I think it does...

 

No.

I contacted the live-support and they told me the same as I answered before.
They have both (7.2 free and 8.0.200) the same engine version 7.0x.
Even the new heuristics are functional with the free version.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Thats correct, and also every product which uses BD engine has the new heuristics (GDATA AVK).

 

For Squash : yes
You're right, Firecat.

Off-topic:
Seems like the context menu scan won't work in Limited user account, but works in Admin account. Looks like I'll be looking for another AV. Aw well, it was worth a try...

 

Maybe the following KB-Article will help to solve this problem too.

 

Problem is also that I use Windows XP Home, not Professional so I can't grant modify permissions as stated in that article...

No Bitdefender for me...
