I use both - Bitdefender on a desktop running Windows 7 64 bit and Kaspersky on a laptop running Windows 8 64 bit. I used to use Kaspersky on both but when I upgraded to KIS2013 from KIS2011 it started to cause BSOD problems with ntskrnl.exe (a known problem with Kaspersky it seems) so I switched to Bitdefender Internet…

you can just install 2014 and activate it with your license. no need to install 2013 first Thanks for the information - just what I was hoping for.

i have windows 7, installed bd 2014, but still problem there, infact shut down time almost doubled I am not being a troll but I have switched back to Kaspersky and my system is so much more responsive. I have not seen the 'not responding' in any program since I removed BitDefender - Firefox was doing it all the time.

I have noticed that too - did not associate it with BD. Another reason to look at a…

I will have a look at F-Secure. I have been through…

Any reply Support? H*ll hasn't frozen over yet...

I have been a BD customer for the past few years. Unfortunately the latest versions keep getting worse. Before paying for an antivirus application I would not rely on the reviews alone. I would read various forums for the unresolved problems and the quality of user support. Have a look here to have a taste of serious…

I notice that I can't edit this post so I'll just add some more here. I use Chrome as my browser and I noticed that the little tab that is the toolbar is not present in about half the Chrome webpages that I come across. Is there any reason for that? Same here with Firefox. It was for that reason that I came here looking…

Solved. Switching from Autopilot mode to User mode and back again seems to fix the issue. Found via a Google search.
