I'm a long time Avast user, but lately its just become slower and unstable so I'm looking for a alternative. Everyone suggested Bitdefender, so here I am. Signed up for the Bitdefender Total Security 2013 30 day trial.
First thing that struck me, NO sandbox. Avast has had this for year and makes testing dodgy exe files into a second ordeal. Also very nifty for brower protection
Second I had a look at the firewall, I can see what's coming and going out in a lot of detail, but no simple option like sorting the columns? It's a minor thing, but still annoying
Third the anti theft, love the idea. but it's reporting me as being somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean... so not very accurate then. No way to just see the last active IP address on there?
But afraid the mayor lack of a sandbox will mean I'm going to look for a alternative anti virus solution anyway
