@Flexx Thank you for the extra information. It seems obvious enough, but good to keep in the back pocket. I will absolutely want to know what type of algorithm Bitdefender uses, as that'll give me a clearer idea of the length of time it'll take. I used to use DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) when shredding drives to be…

Thank goodness for your post. After reading it I figured I'd better read more about this "new VPN that BD is offering" in the forums. What I've found out; 1. It slows your connection dramatically. Unless you have a T1 connection, you'll notice a huge drop in your internet connection speed. 2. With the 200mb/day free…
