I did a lot of research before buying BD AV. Everywhere I looked said BD was pretty good. So, being satisfied that I had seen enough good reports, I went ahead and purchased BD.
WOW....what an experience. Installing this crud has been one of the scariest things I have ever done. Error messages all over the place. And that’s just during the installation! Contacted BD and they said "here, download and install this". So I accessed the link and downloaded the software again from their link. Same error messages as original install. WOW.
Now, I don't know if the AV scans are working or not. They may be but all I have to judge the quality of this software is the user interface. It’s pretty enough but it’s somewhat unintuitive and it is therefore difficult to use. I think I'm getting errors but am not quite sure. This is what I have to base my judgments on. I am a software engineer and I could probably figure out the idiosyncrasies of this software but frankly, I don't have the time. I just want to buy something and have it work out of the box.
After reading so many of the posts in this forum, I have come to the conclusion that the AV software is probably working but not enough time has been spent on the user interface (GUI) to make it easy to use and understand. However, the lack of functionality in the GUI has shaken my faith in the AV.
Since my BD is currently leaking memory all over the place here and is causing me to reboot far too often AND the only post for this issue has NO responses to it, I'm just going to write off the $50 I spent on this crud and buy a professional product.
However, I can't say this experience has been entirely unfruitful. I have learned the value of the 30 day trial.
WOW!
