Bitdefender Free 2015

What is this 2015 edition? Is it different from what I have, which still shows as version 1.0.21.1099?

    Hiya,


    Where does it say 2015, BD are still advertising it as 2014? http://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/free.html


    As far as I am aware there has been no new version, maybe they just changed the year. :)

    Another poster said he had installed BD 2015 Free. I was just wondering if such a thing really existed.

    Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition was actually out in the year 2012 (December). The last version was released in the year 2013 (October) and it was greatly improved from the first release. If there is an update within the next couple of months to fix any compatibility issues with Windows 10, it shall be Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition 2016 :)

    Actually, the version 1.0.21.1099, circa 2013, refers the Gonzales module which has been stable for a long time. Active components like, for example, bdcore.dll (Bitdefender Engine), avcuf.dll and avcuf64.dll (Active Virus Control) among many others update in the background. These updates are reported in the logs.


    At this time, all the libraries and drivers in Free on one of my systems are the same versions as two other systems running BDIS 2015.


    That said, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition 2014, it's actual name, might very well be updated to "2016." Whatever they call it, I look forward to it.

  • These updates are reported in the logs.

    No product update here. I even upgraded to Windows 10 and it still says version 1.0.21.1099. The signatures have updated twice since the Windows upgrade though.


    I have never seen any updates in the logs other than the signatures. and this is in over a year of use.


    BD Free is working perfectly in Win 10.
