Bitdefender is a solid choice for those who have many devices and lots of data that needs to be secured. It provides excellent malware detection and is low on system resources, and it is quick to examine files. It also offers a few additional features that other programs don’t have for example, an unlimited VPN and file shredder.
During our tests, Bitdefender detected every piece of malware we used. However, it did come across some false positives, which can be frustrating. Kaspersky however, on one however, had no false positives in our tests. Its detection engine appears to be able to discern when something is malicious or not, which may explain this.
Both Bitdefender Kaspersky offer excellent customer support. Both provide extensive knowledge bases and community forums along with phone and live chat support. Both offer a money back guarantee and free services for a short time.
Both programs are easy to install and use. Both allow users to add as many devices as they wish and provide a one-click installation process. Both programs come with an privacy section as well as utilities to help users increase their security. Both programs include a parental control feature and an internet browser that allows users to guard bank accounts and transactions online. They also come with a useful feature that warns users of unsafe websites before they access them. Both programs come with an automatic renewal switch that can be turned off.
