Bitdefender Free Edition With Other Security Soulotion

Bitdefender free edition is a demoned scanner (no real time protection) , so can I use Bitdefender free edition with other security soulotion (Like Kaspersky , AVG ,Avast .....etc) and don't slow speed ?

In other way dose PC speed down when I use Bitdefender free edition with other Antivirus ?

Thank you

Hi kosay85,

Because BitDefender Antivirus Free edition is only an On-demand scan, I do not see any problem in using it with another security solution software. So, you can try.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I will try not on my PC because I use BD Internet security <img class= " />

I will try it with avira and if there is any services for Bitdefender I will make it manual

then I will post what happened

Hi Mihaela

With reference to the below link, I found that Bitdefender Free Edition also support On-Access Scan or Real Time Protection with "Winpooch". But I think the detections would be without Bitdefender's Advanced Heuristics and rely on Signatures Based Technology.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antivirus_software

If this is true, then how the user can configure Bitdefender.?

Cristi Raducu

This doesn't mean in any way that BitDefender free edition is an on-access scanner.

Winpooch is a standalone program,not developed by BitDefender and you can use it at your own risk.

I will add it in forum and ask for TEST and say in last "at your own risk"

Bitdefender but these Regkey and install Drivers in PC while it is On-Deand Scanner Onely !!!

Please rephrase the first paragraph.

For BitDefender to be an on-demand scanner those services must be started.

Even though its not recommended we have used Malwarebytes along with all BD products and never have any conflict problems.

Hi

Bitdefender free edition is a demoned scanner (no real time protection) , so can I use Bitdefender free edition with other security soulotion (Like Kaspersky , AVG ,Avast .....etc) and don't slow speed ?

In other way dose PC speed down when I use Bitdefender free edition with other Antivirus ?

Thank you

Hi,

You are correct that Bitdefender is a demoned scanner,but eventough I will suggest you not to install other antivirus in a single PC.There should be one antivirus in one pc which is always recommended.If you install two antivirus,there may evolve many other issues. So let Bitdefender be there in the PC.

Hello

For those that are still using Bitdefender v10 Free, please upgrade to Bitdefender 2009 Free.
