The internet isn’t the place it was a few years ago it’s a huge ocean full of all kinds of online threats, aspiring to invade your privacy or steal your financial information and the list goes on. Over 7 million JavaScript malware viruses were identified in the last year. This is why it’s vital to keep your antivirus software updated. Avast and Bitdefender both offer features that can help you do this, such as vulnerability scans that assist you in determining the applications that are out of date and an automatic software updater.

If, however, you’re looking for the most effective antivirus solution that has high malware detection rates with minimal impact on the performance of your system, and a low cost and a low price, then Bitdefender is a clear winner. It also comes with distinctive features, like shredders for documents as well as a webcam/microphone blocker that blocks any suspicious requests.

A user-friendly antivirus program is an additional crucial aspect. Both Avast and Bitdefender are fairly easy to use, however we discovered that Bitdefender was a bit more clunky when it came to running scans. It took us a while to locate the settings and it was difficult to set up a full or boot-time scan.

Bitdefender’s support is vastly superior to Avast. Its knowledge base as well as phone support are extensive. Avast however, is able to limit its contact options to customers with paid accounts and relies heavily on its forums and knowledge base.
