krit86lr Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Why don't more people use BitDefender's Free AntiVirus software if it's good enough as a scanner in the Spyware Hell Forum? I'd think that everyone would be using Bitdefender, but it seems most are using AntiVir.

It runs resident just to auto update, it doesn't actually catch anything unless you scan with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted December 17, 2008 Moderators Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'd like to use as an on-demand only secondary scanner, however for many years now after I install it there's an immediate complaint about not being able to run or that it's timed-out therefore I can't use it. Don't know why either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
