    I use Kaspersky since 2008 and it saved me so much trouble with all kinds of malware and spyware through all those years that I am extremely grateful to the company.

    Hello! First, we thank you for this review. Would also like to mention that Bitdefender’s ransomware approach is a multi-layered one.
    We know how important personal data is to our users; hence the “better safe than sorry approach” when it comes to ransomware.
    It includes a data-protection layer that safeguards documents, pictures, videos and music against all kinds of ransomware attacks. It works with the Advanced Threat Defense module to protect files from encryption by ransomware.
    Regarding the video - although the sample was not detected by Real time protection, it was another security layer - Ransomware remediation - that saved the precious data by backing it up.
    Stay safe! The Bitdefender Team

Both of them are good, but in my opinion, i use a free version and my self to protect me, there is no such a thing that fully protects you 100%.

    That is a failure. Although you do cut away rather quickly once that is revealed.
    I also noticed in the 2nd test, that Bitdefender terminated the testing at 9%. You could argue this is a good thing, but to say Bitdefender came out unscathed there was a bit disingenuous. It only had 8% of the files to deal with, meanwhile Kaspersky fought through all of it and still came out on top. So two wins for Kaspersky.

    I used both. But Kaspersky is best (In my opinion). uses less RAM and CPUs and 100% detection when it comes to Virus/Ransomware. Bitdefender is little heavy, uses more RAM, CPUs, and more drive space, and also not 100% detection rate. Bitdefender also sometimes blocks normal apps aggressively, and allows malware smoothly! but this never happens with Kaspersky. btw webroot is great too when it comes to detection rate but very OLD UI feels like 1990s software they need to update their UI.

    We need an update comparison like this for 2023. I'm more interested in the free versions' performance and reliability. I have my eyes on Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Avira and ESET. If possible, compare these four's free version against new or old malwares and ransomware. I'm more concerned at ransomware protection because some antivirus software has the feature locked behind a paywall or premium subscription.

Now in these settings, there are 3 options, the first is if the extreme protection level will slow down the laptop, the second is optimal and it is recommended during installation for users. The same is the minimum protection for laptops that may experience slowness or affect performance. Well, because my laptop is always to slow, which option will I have to choose?

    used bitdefender before i switched over to kaspersky. bitdefender ain't the worst but you gotta do A LOT OF babysitting. bitdefender will often block stuff without telling you, you have to find it out on your own. i even had things like games like "flower" not working correctly anymore, 'cause bitdefender silently blocked the game from saving configuration files. once i whitelisted it manually it worked again. bitdefender will also never tell you what it's doing right now, what exactly it is blocking, you always have to open up the program manually and go through the log. kaspersky on the other hand is quite talkative. it tells you what it's doing and what it's blocking. perfect example can be seen in this video right at the start already. bitdefender only says "ransomware blocked" while kaspersky tells you the exact exe it is blocking, what object it detected and where it was found. when opening up discord kaspersky always tells me that it blocked the camera so no one has access to it. using bitdefender i wouldn't even know if it does block it or not, 'cause it simply doesn't tell me anything. i have to "trust" the program.
