The internet isn’t what it used to be as it used to be. It’s a bustling sea swarming all kinds of online threats that want to get your personal information, financial data, etc. Over 7 million JavaScript malware viruses were identified in the last year. It is crucial to keep your anti-virus software up to date. Both Avast and Bitdefender offer a range of features to help you to do this with a vulnerability scanner which will let you know the programs that are out of date and an updater for software which automatically keeps all your programs up-to-date for the best security.
Bitdefender is the clear winner if you are looking for an anti-virus solution that has high malware detection rates and minimal impact on the performance of your system and also affordable pricing. It also comes with distinct features, including shredders for documents and a protection for microphones and webcams that block any suspicious requests.
The ease of use of antivirus software is an crucial aspect. Avast and Bitdefender both have a fairly simple interface, but Bitdefender is a little more complicated when it involves running scans. It took us longer to find the settings we needed, and setting up a full scan or a boot-time scan was a little complicated.
As for support, Bitdefender’s customer service is far superior to Avast’s. Its knowledge base and phone support are extensive. Avast however, restricts its contact options to paid customers and heavily rely on its knowledge base and forums.
