How Bitdefender Total Security build 26.0.7.36 (BDTS) missed to detect 2 (two) trojan viruses?

The last two days my laptop became very slow, on Google Chrome i got an extension called "wRankBook" that i just couldn't uninstall and on Google Chrome i was redirected to some pages i have never visited. Then i thought my laptop could be infected. So, i did a Quick Scan, Full System Scan and Custom System Scan with BDTS. And in all 3 scans, BDTS found no threats, meaning that my laptop was virus free. Next, i did a scan with Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2020 version 20.0.10.0 (KVRT) and KVRT found 2 (two) viruses: 1. MEM:Trojan.Win32.Agent.gen (located in System Memory) and 2. HEUR.Trojan.MSIL.Kryptik.gen (located in drive C). Really, really disappointed!

I have ads popping up all over the place even when I log into secure 2-step authentication. I think Bitdefender is overrated. I need a better program.

@jsomers ,

Welcome to the Bitdefender Forums. This is a three-year-old topic, and your post does not relate to the original post.

Bitdefender is not an adware blocker. Personally, I use uBlock Origin, but there are plenty of other products for blocking ads and popups. "Mr. Google" is your best friend.

Good luck, and have a great day.

Regards,

Phil
