My feedback on Bitdefender Free 2016
Hi!
I've been running it for over a week now and it works good! In overall, nothing bad to complain. However, I do not like some things.
* When protection is turned off, BDF icon does not change and thus one might forget it's turned off. Haven't tried with restart (to see if I get any notification regarding protection being OFF). But I do think you should see it via BDF icon (e.g it turns to grey)
* When extracting known malware from archive (.zip or .rar), BDF is really slow at detecting and removing them. While "scanning" files, it also consumes great amount of CPU and it lasts for many many seconds until files are removed. If protection is turned off and you scan extracted files via right click scan, it works fast and without hiccups.
Overall, I like how fast and light it is. Also the UI is great - everything you need in a tiny package - no unneeded extra stuff. It just works out of the box and is easy to use. I've been testing it against malware too - so far so good. Lives up to the expectations of Bitdefender.
