To Do Or Not To Do ?

hi guys.

i am a kaspersky user for long time and now my KIS 12 subscription is about to expire and i am thinking to try other Internet security before buying new subscription. so i find out that bitdefinder have #1 rank in may AV tests so , i think i have to give B a try , BUT i have some questions..

1) where do i download BD IS 12 installation pack for x64 (not that client ) so i can try BD in my VMware workshop and if i find BD the IS i want so, just install BD in my host machine.

2) is bitdefender able to give full protraction on X64 win 7 due to patch grad,cuz i have seen that notron and even KIS is not able to protect fully on X64 bit version .

3) how fast is bitdefender's updated server is cuz on KIS 12 it take too much time to update AV even if update is only 500KB-5000KB.

4) how strong bitdefender's self defense is cuz KIS have good SD i mean i did tried ever method to shutdown KIS in VM but it starts every time . and if you guys watch youtube then you probably know that norton have worst SD i mean even a rootkit is able to full disable norton so i am not going to even try norton.

5)is BD sports offline updated or updated backup ?(cuz i have 3 pc and i don't want to updated them ,cuz i have work to do not updates <_< )

6)how strong BD's HIPS is ?

7)is BD have sandbox in it ?

8) is BD have desktop gadget like KIS?

and pls don't say me to go any BD websites cuz i have visted them all and i am willing to you guys to answer.

cuz when ever i think to switch my IS i first check that how good that IS's form members are .

waiting for good replies..

^ this is weird .

rootkit

Hello

Sorry for the delayed reply.

I will now answer to your questions:

1. The installation kits can be found here: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?act...f=241&id=44

2. Yes, Bitdefender can fully protect both 32 and 64 bits systems.

3. We have servers and mirrors dedicated for each country, our updates are delivered each hour.

4. We have watched that YouTube video, and I can tell you that ZeroAccess/Sirefef won't bring Bitdefender' Self Protection. The processes can not be stopped.

5. Yes, we provide manual updates(offline) and also we have the Network Map module through which you can create a local server in your network to update other stations.

6. Bitdefender 2012 was designed to be a silent product with no pop-ups and windows. For those that want mode control, we have the Paranoid Mode included.

7. We have a sandbox module for all web browsers, so you don't have to worry about infected websites.

8. Bitdefender doesn't have a desktop gadget, but the behavior of the product can be controlled via the system tray icon.

Regarding the cloud servers, our product is connected to them 24/7 if there is an active internet connection on the station.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Have a great weekend!

rootkit

Hello

I am going to test to see if I can reproduce this behavior in a virtual machine, Bitdefender does not hide folders.

Regarding the offline, please try to download it with another browser.

Take care.

sysWOW64

well OK .

one more thing when you go to folder setting option both option are unchecked i mean when ever i try to select hide folder or unhide folder it won't work both options are unchecked while bitdefender running or installed ,that's weird past . pls post back if you got any info about that !

and nope i tried downloading with ff, chrome and IDM none worked all time after downloading pack and after running it,it end up with corrupted file msg.

We recommend you to use this one because all the product updates will be installed during the installation process.

If you want to us the offline kit, you can find it over here:

You can copy it on an USB stick and transfer it to all your PCs.

off topic :-

btw

i am reading reviews about BD and found that BD give's its AV signatures to BullGuard, GData and F-Secure is it true ?

source

(if it's true then WOW )

rootkit

Hello

Yes, that source tells the truth, those products use Bitdefender engines(and they are not the only ones).

You have more details over here:
