Question

Avira personal edition vs Bit defender free edition v10 free?

Answer 1

Avira rates very highly, BitDefender is good as a second line scanner to be used in emergencies but not for daily protection.

BitDefender Free Edition uses the same certified scanning engines found in other BitDefender products, allowing you to enjoy basic virus protection for no cost at all. This is an on-demand virus scanner, which is best used in a system recovery or forensics role.

Avira offers realtime monitoring, but you also have to be aware of creating false positives if two AV's are installed, which is why I use online scanners as backup, and also have others stored on an external drive should I have a problem that stops me from connecting to the internet.

Answer 2

I can tell you that Avirs personal edition from Germany has the highest rate of detection, around 97.6%.  Higher then Kaspersky Russia that you must purchased.  Plus very low on resources and if you want to remove very easy as there are no write protected files or dll´s in their program.
