Reviewing 2011 Build 14.0.24.330 (Nov 10, 2010)

Slow and buggy UI which crashes a lot (the engine itself seems solid). Overall Bitdefender 14 seems *very* comprehensive, if not particularly friendly. Quite configurable, but some of the defaults are a bit odd - if you dig around you'll see. Seemed to do very good finding existing malware but not quite as great at blocking new infections. BD is also more expensive than just about anything except Kaspersky, which isn't helpful considering its issues. If the console becomes more optimized and less twitchy, and the realtime protection improves a little I think BD will be a top contender..maybe even worth the price.

I would've put a 4 but we need to balance out tolique's self-serving little post, so only a 2 for you, BD :)
