    Bitdefender may be fine for you if you don’t want to take any responsibility for your system, and trust Bitdefender to make only good decisions. Or maybe you don’t care if it makes a limited number of bad decisions. After all, you probably have a few hundred thousand files on your PC and really care if a few are deleted.

    I’ve used Bitfefender for a few years (paid for Internet Security license and several renewals) but am looking now for something better.

    When it finds a file it doesn’t like, it either deletes it, tries to repair it, sends it to quarantine, or denies access to it. You can choose the action to be taken in advance. A week ago it quarantined one of my files. The file could not be recovered because the quarantine process corrupted the file. This has happened before. Since quarantine is not reliable, I set Bitdefender to deny access and tried to copy my file from a backup image. Sure enough, Bitdefender denied access. Problem: there is no function in Bitdefender to allow access once it’s denied. So delete, quarantine, and deny access, are essentially all the same – they prevent me or anyone else from accessing the file. I don’t get to decide what happens to my files because Bitdefender assumes it knows more than I do.

    Their support team would not provide any answer other than telling me the file was properly flagged as bad. No attempt to explain how to regain access, no explanation for why quarantine failed. And no way to tell Bitdefender to warn me but do nothing if it finds a suspicious file. And the “bad” file? A password recovery program. Yes, it could do bad stuff in the hands of evil people, but it was useful for me in a situation at work and in helping friends. An internet search summarized the situation: an antivirus program can only evaluate a file based on what it can do, not on its intended purpose.

    Only after looking at log files did I realize that options I enabled, like scanning for rootkits, do not take place. I felt secure for a few years, now I feel betrayed. And I understand why scans were so fast, it didn’t scan much of my C: drive and nothing else. That may by my fault for not spending a few days analyzing and working with the product when I first installed it. I could have set up “custom” scans but never got far because it looked like the only customization was for scheduling. If you get past that, and look in advanced scan options, there’s more to it. Does it really scan for rootkits if you enable it here also? Don’t think I’ll ever know.

    Can anyone recommend a GOOD antimalware/firewall product? Is Windows Defender good again? Does Windows firewall (Win 10) block incoming and outgoing access now? Thanks.

    Comodo Internet Security is the best that I’ve known in the last 20 years. CIS Premium is free, just uncheck the lil boxes that says to use Yahoo Search and use Comodo Dns. Unless you want the DNS to filter web browsing. I uncheck that, check I agree to not abuse the software or reverse engineer it. Uncheck the lil boxes. Then you can set your DNS to Comodo Secure Servers in Internet Properties v4. Some softwares set the DNS for you, like iobit Advance System Care tools, set to OpenDNS, Comodo Secure Dns, Google, or Custom. Like some put in Cloudflare is supposedly the fastest and most private Dns. The say “we will never sell your data or use it to target ads. Period.” Hum, not bad. https://1.1.1.1/dns/
    Firefox and others started using Cloudfare for its privacy and speed. Faster than Doogle or Crisco (google, cisco). LOL
    BITDEFENDER TOTAL is really great software. It did quarantine and delete some files. Can tweak the settings to warn you about PUPS, Unwanted Software, Malware, or viruses. I’d rather loose one file than have Ransomware lockup my PC.
    6 months free is not bad. And CIS Comodo Intenet Security is the best, so use it if you like. I receive no compensation.
    PS: Sophos Hitman Pro Alert 3.8 has a 30day trial. It will lock down your PC like Fort Knox (gold bank).
    UAK UltraAdwareKiller is free and will run all kinds of tests, antimalware, sfc, dism, checks image window files. Awesome!
    SOS SharewareOnsale.com is an awesome place to get free software and shop for deals. Happy Holidays!
