Bitdefender Free Version Missed Virus Caught By Bitdefender Paid Version!
Can any one explain this to me:
i have a test virus at my pc , when i used the free bitdefender version to scan the virus , it tells me no threats detected, when i used bitdefender antivirus plus 2015 , it found the virus !!!!!
N.B : both free and paid versions are up to date
does this mean that the free version uses another engine than the paid versions?

Run a test virus and ensure that the BAFE uses not only the signature-based virus detection.

What is a test virus you mean? EICAR-test? If so, problems in detection can't see.
If not him, then give a link to this sample.

Well, it happens. No wonder there are paid versions, should they be different from the free versions and not just having more functionality. My opinion is that the free version can only be used by experienced users who follow the rules of computer security.

Both of the products use the same virus signature database, the paid version however has more detection engines than the Free Version.
The Free Version is lacking the Active Threat Control and the Intrusion Detection modules that play a important role in picking up infections the usual Scan method misses.

I know that the free version has a module of proactive protection (AVC).
Proactive technology, it is not signature-based protection method that takes place, and the free version bitdefender products.0
