Bitdefender Free Edition With Other Security Soulotion

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 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 kosay85,


    I am waiting for your answer.


    Thank you.


  • 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.?

  • 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,


    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.
