Being an user of ESET SS for 3 yrs continuously, I can assure you that you won't be dissatisfied. Its one of the most non-obtrusive AV out there (just chip in proper setting on first hand).

only thing i hate of Eset was its setting menu last time i used. Was really complicated. Settings were hidden under tabs & tabs.

Under tabs? When did you last time ? I never saw "tabs" in settings. (or may be I don't remember). I'm using from v4 to v5 now. And I find that really easy as compared to Kaspersky. I just "force cleaning" by default and it takes care of the rest. :)

late 2010. i have used avast & avira and compared to them, Eset's menu system was really bad. it took me more than 2min just to open quantine and more time to check scan settings. i have used Kaspersky. If you remove detection rate, it'll immediately go to the lowest rank cause of its bloatware nature.

^^ i am a big fan of avast and using it since 5yrs. so not much chance of going for a paid AV dropping my free license.

From the day I started watching antivirus review sites, I don't remember bitdefender being even #2. :eek:

I used it once (may be in 2008-09), was light on system, not complex but not even simple, a so so antivirus. Couldn't test detection as viruses didn't attacked me then :p

different sites give different rating. best it to pick the ones with best detection rate and try a trial. just disable the current AV and give it a trial run. If it seems more like a bloatware, uninstall it else one may place an order for a key.

I used Bitdefender on 2008 and after installing this I faced lots of BSODs and uninstalled it - after that I've never used it but recetly saw some foreign mags giving it high ratings and it's the cheapest AV available on flipkart -

I think the latest version may be improved and thats' why I asked for personal feedback about Bitdefender ;-)
