Kaspersky vs Bitdefender Test vs 2000 Malware

Kaspersky vs Bitdefender: Test vs 2000+ malware. Which is the best antivirus? In this test we explore protection vs malware in a side by side bombardment.

Kaspersky is one of the members of our annual Mal X programme so they receive additional test reports and data from us. However, all public tests are conducted fully independently with no interference.

Always love to see Kaspersky vs Bitdefender

I was a long time Norton customer and fan but abandoned it 3 years ago when they had stopped sales via 3rd party in my region and moved to Kaspersky. Never looked back.

Great video and testing! I prefer Kaspersky because it seems a lot less intrusive throwing a lot less false positives which makes more of a pleasant user experience. Plus Kaspersky's pricing is simply unmatched for what it offers in my opinion.

This is the bake off I have been waiting for. Thank you so much Leo for taking the time to put this together. We appreciate all that you do.

Thank you Leo for the insightful testing.

If we made false positive test between Bitdefender and Kaspersky, I'm sure Kaspersky would be the winner. Because as you said, Kaspersky is more likely to allow executions and to search behavioural patterns rather than Bitdefender blocks suspicious or malicious signatures, it's more likely to block them instead of relying on behavioural search.. This may allow false positives more for Bitdefender side.... Both products are good, but I would prefer Kaspersky nevertheless, because I trust Kaspersky's behaviour based detection strength more than Bitdefender's behavioural detection. .. :) Thanks for your nice videos..

Very useful comparison.👍 I have used Bitdefender since 2015 and I like it because it's easy to use and it doesn't hog resources. AND it has kept me safe and secure for all these years 😊

Was just earlier in the week having a look at the basic Bitdefender Antivirus edition, from the perspective of a regular Kaspersky user. The interface felt cleaner and everything seemed to run smoothly. I would feel confident recommending Bitdefender as an alternative to others, while sticking to Kaspersky myself for wanting more granularity in the settings. And for that Bitdefender was throwing false positives on a number of uncommon software tools I had lying around. Not something that should be a bother at all for most users.

Thank you, Leo! Find all of the work you do very helpful and informative. Really appreciate that you took the time to do this test and share. Keep up the great work! <3

This is all nice and dandy, however I prefer my Microsoft Technician level 3 from Mumbai to take care of my security.
Cost me only 299.99USD / year and I can’t start to describe all the foreign connections (hackers) he found on the first day. Plus all stopped processes by the same.
Highly recommended.

My Kaspersky subscription is expiring soon. Still worthy, so Imma extend it for another 2 years. Thanks, Leo for the comparison.

[Alchemetica]

Thanks for doing the tests and the results. It increased my confidence in my choice of Bitdefender. Like you mentioned they are both good at their intended purpose.

Now we need the ultimate battle of the top 3 free software comparison side by side: ;)
Kaspersky Free
Bitdefender Free
Windows Defender

Great video! For an MSP, reliability is crucial. This includes maintaining strong security measures and tools, creating effective disaster recovery plans, utilizing top-notch remote monitoring solutions, and integrating Thirdlane Multi Tenant PBX to facilitate smooth communication between teams and clients.

I subscribed to you a long time ago when you had only a few thousand subscribers. I'm glad that your hard work is paying off.

[thorntontarr]

Your work is exemplary, Leo. Your work is critically important to me; I can think about such testing but I could NEVER to it. Now, I feel informed; thanks!

[Nelis]

Good video, funny, informative and let's not forget the very clear explanation
about the detections and the differences between the two

[jackdeago]

Thank you so much, our honest support may walk side by side with you till you reach the first million subscribers

[bitteroldhousecat]

Yes the heavyweight championship!

I've been a loyal Bitdefender customer for a few years now. No doubt it gives top notch protection. At first though, all the false positives were driving me nuts. But whether it's the product itself, if it's just used to me and my family's computers, or a little of both, it's not a problem anymore. It runs quietly in the background, and I never have any problems.

Great vid. Best PC security channel on YouTube. Of course that's a low bar, as most PC channels are by idiots for idiots.

Appreciate the work involved in this, very cool results.
Would love to see TrendMicro Maximum take on the same challenge!
