How could we have been waiting for this when he just did a kaspersky vs 2000 malware video 2 months ago. What we are waiting for is for people to quit testing kaspersky every other week and give other AV and malware tools a chance.
Kaspersky is a awesome low resource heavy antivirus which is very very good so why quit a antivirus that's reliable have very good protection and low impact on pc
@@billyguthrie3176 well he said we had been waiting for this, so maybe he meant we had been waiting, up until he did a kaspersky vs 2000 malware video 2 months ago
Defender works perfectly fine. Combine with open dns, ublock origin and strong unique passwords and air gapped backups, you are good. Unless you store other peoples sensitive data, then you need proper advice.
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..
In my experience, Kaspersky gets pretty much every single piece of malware but it has a lot of false positives for innocent programs that do suspicious things, such as convenience crypto mining apps
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.
@@jschreiber6461How is that relevant to detecting viruses? Kaspersky has never bombed a single soul ever, just like Tesla has never bombed an innocent family at a wedding or kids party.
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.
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.
Love your video! Also, I think the music matches the test! It gives a feeling of anxiety as if the malware is now secretly slipping through the antiviruses! It also reminds me of the windows defender sandbox vs malware video that you did a few years ago - where this music was also played and the cascading waterfall of error kept popping up >_< Great job!
Thanks for the heavy test, validates my confidence in my Bitdefender. I'd used Kaspersky years ago, but stopped when the rise in Russian hacking really got rolling as it was reported by agencies as a risk considering where it comes from. Kaspersky did a good job then, but being paranoid about the internet isn't a bad thing. I always keep an eye on things and would jump from Bitdefender to another security suite that was proved to be significantly better. Subscriber to this great channel.
I had the same thoughts. Kaspersky has a great granular interface, even traps Apps trying to access the webcam… BUUUUUUT… it’s run out of Moscow and Moscow takes requests from Beijing. Ergo… your entire hard disk being scanned for viruses could also be scanned for anything that Beijing/Moscow might be looking for….
@@jschreiber6461 it's funny that you prefer to be scanned for the needs of the NSA or the FBI, rather than for the needs of abstract Moscow or for some reason Beijing.
Great as usual. Surprised to see that both Kaspersky and BitDefender scores are almost matching which means BitDefender improved a lot. But again I would prefer Kaspersky anytime because its less costly and consumes much less resources than BitDefender. Also any type of scan can be customized in Kaspersky which seems to be somewhat restricted in BitDefender. Anyway, either of the two are great products.
As a American i feel more comfortable having a russian company monitor my internet than a American company. Going to go with no anti virus after kaspersky is banned.

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 RUclips. Of course that's a low bar, as most PC channels are by idiots for idiots.
I'm using Kaspersky, but just because it's very light on system resources .. there are only two background processes running in the background while Bitdefender has 8 or 9 of them, eating up your CPU and RAM.
It takes around 700-1GB with 0% CPU usage, I wouldn't call that intensive considering most new CPU's have many cores and notably weaker cores for this task
This was insanely close! I believe BitDefender was on the better side purely because of that one detection that wasn't temporary on Kaspersky's side, but they're both great software.
Never saw a comparison between the two. Was interesting to see because I use Kaspersky and have used Bitdefender a few years ago. All in all, I think you're safe with either program, thank you, for sharing!
In my system, Ryzen 7 5800x with 32GB of RAM, BitDefender uses roughly 300mb of RAM and at idle isn't ticking up any CPU resources used (Staying at 0%). Take that as you wish, I don't run Kaspersky, so I can't verify. Edit: Also, I'm using BitDefender Total Security. So it's got everything enabled.
In my case with 32Gb and i9 12900Kf Bitdefender uses 660Mb to 1Gb but 0% CPU. Overall it doesn't bother you much while using the PC and stays away but I also have Windows Defender running with 60-100Mb and 0% usage alongside Bitdefender
both antivirus are too good around 2 year ago, i tried bitdefender ,but due to unavoidable notification by bitdefender i have to shift to Kaspersky, but just after few months later when people complaint about this, bitdefender allowed users to stop notifications
Yesterday I replaced my ESET with Kaspersky plus. Unbelievable how much it managed to detect, all of which ESET left behind. Kaspersky even threw out some keyloggers.👍

Hello, I am a w7 32-bit user and I have been using Bitdefender free for several days. Too much memory consumption for me, it does not have a simple option to deactivate it from the taskbar, and browsing both the internet and my folders was tedious, very heavy. Now I'm trying kaspersky free. So far I am satisfied, it does not take unnecessary resources from my PC and it seems smarter when it comes to protecting. It allows me to browse without slowing down the PC. Easy to deactivate. It's what it should be.
On the contrary, I'm thinking of switching to bitdefender now. Because I'm tired of Kaspersky's glitches. Kaspersky is a good defender if you use everything without your own settings. But if you try to do something not according to the standard, then God, it lives its own life and besides, it has lost its automatic rules for programs and now I cannot use the Internet. I manually marked all my programs as fully trusted for Internet access. Moreover, reinstalling the antivirus did not change anything; it continues to store its settings anyway. This antivirus, damn it, lives a separate life. I am also annoyed by potential surveillance from the FSB, for foreigners this is not a problem, but for me, CIA surveillance would be better.
Both Kaspersky and Bitdefender have strong anti-malware capabilities, but their methods are slightly different. Kaspersky provides a System Watcher component that monitors system activity and uses various databases and algorithms to detect and block suspicious activity, effectively protecting against zero-day threats and ransomware. On the other hand, Bitdefender excels at real-time protection and has a slightly better result in detecting and eliminating 2,000 types of malware during testing.
Super comparison! Can we see a comparison between Sophos enterprise and Bit defender enterprise? I use for various companies the Sophos security suite and I must say it's rock solid, especially it's tamper protection! Happy to provide a license for a Sophos enterprise endpoint to test
How did you activate the unlimited VPN in the Plus version of Kaspersky? I own it (Total Security to Kaspersky Plus) and I don't have the unlimited VPN
We've been using it since 2008, not a single infection since then... back then, I was also a not very vigilant child, known to download malware on a weekly basis 😂
to many false positives with windows defender and they delete half of your programs on you..... keygens or what ever windows defender will delete off your system
This is nice! I've been a Bitdefender user for years with my family and PCs. I couldn't trust Kaspersky before as they had a lot of product upgrade spam. It just irritated me. Nice to know their performance is up!
Great video. But instead of only malware tests can you also look into the advanced threat defenses of these antivirus since they they pose quite a major issue. For malware tests antivirus are getting better at detecting them
I'll always stick with Kaspersky. They're 1 of the best antivirus software. No doubt Bitdefender is great, but I still rate Kaspersky the best. They never miss anything, so you're completely safe
🤔 You left me thinking the approach of the products... I have Kaspersky installed for my parents that are not very techie... I think they would scare if something sort of executes... I will reflect on that. Thank you!
Adobe Reader is legitimate software by Adobe, why would anything detect it? It was likely bundled in some installer/adware, however Adobe Reader itself is not malicious and was allowed to install, and anything else that may have tried to be installed was blocked.
@@Hecklezz true it is legitimate software but then why did one antivirus allow it and the other one didn't? Kaspersky must have noticed something was wrong and prevented the install.
@@gremory0 Probably a fake Adobe Reader installer. It legitimately installs Reader but trojans another software inside. BitDefender probably blocked the Trojan payload but let Adobe Reader install just fine. I once got a virus because I stupidly downloaded a Firefox update from a non-firefox website without thinking over a decade ago. Took a few hours to clean up the damage caused by that.
Bitdefender looks pretty good here! Might use them to run my firewall for my Netgear home router. Does anyone think that will get in the way of running Sophos on my home systems though?
Big difference I see at first test is, that Bitdefender tells you afterwards "Everything is fine", while Kasperky tells you, that your system is at risk.
It would be interesting to see some antivirus comparison for android phones. Some of my experience tells me that in that case Bitdefender is a better option than Kaspersky.
As always, these videos are never disappointing. On another note, how do you collect these samples from the internet? Is there software, or is it manual work??
Hi. Do you recommend any windows debloaters and how do we use them without breaking windows when lowering the processes down to 50's or lower. example chris titus (advanced) or winpilot. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video. I was just trying to figure out if I should get the Kaspersky premium since my license was coming to an end and was hoping that maybe there would be other security software that it was better but it looks like kaspersky still has it so I went ahead and renewed my license
I would say this is a draw, or maybe a close victory by bitdefender due to more aggressive approach. Quite satisfied to have chosen bitdefender to replace kaspersky on my machines exactly 23 months ago.
I run Bit Defender for the fam and have been very happy with them. I had a scare from a hacked NAS (not mine, I just had access to it) a few years ago that made me tighten down everything tighter than a bull's asshole. Sad that you need so much protection these days.
What is the difference between Kaspersky premium(subscription model) vs Kaspersky Internet security( yearly license key) ? I have the later. Can you please clarify ?
The difference is that you got suckered into paying for extra 'features' that aren't really necessary. Just about all of the antivirus solution companies do this in order to make money, but there are no significant differences in real world performance for antivirus, antispyware and malware for example, compared to the free versions. This can be checked on AV Comparatives by the way, so that you can see for yourself.
As a bitdefender user for multiple years and not any crudware that i know of in my pc they have a customer for life. Not that resource intensive either. Looking to add the VPN asap.
Bitdefender and kaspersky both are great. But the problem with bitdefender is, they too much eating RAM or CPU and sometime, the web blocking dosen't always work. But to be honest, both product are great
@@blazerod592 i agree. because i had been try bitdefender before like internet security and total security. but the biggest problem with bitdefender is sometime miss like blocking malware or virus or something else. and bitdefender dosen't have feature like kaspersky such us system watcher. but to he honest. bitdefender and kaspersky are greate than other AV
With today's technology, it doesn't matter much. Even the free AV programs are more or less at par with the expensive ones. To me, the issue is how quickly an AV company reacts to a new threat.

Hello, I am a w7 32-bit user and I have been using Bitdefender free for several days. Too much memory consumption for me, it does not have a simple option to deactivate it from the taskbar, and browsing both the internet and my folders was tedious, very heavy. Now I'm trying kaspersky free. So far I am satisfied, it does not take unnecessary resources from my PC and it seems smarter when it comes to protecting. It allows me to browse without slowing down the PC. Easy to deactivate. It's what it should be.
On the contrary, I'm thinking of switching to bitdefender now. Because I'm tired of Kaspersky's glitches. Kaspersky is a good defender if you use everything without your own settings. But if you try to do something not according to the standard, then God, it lives its own life and besides, it has lost its automatic rules for programs and now I cannot use the Internet. I manually marked all my programs as fully trusted for Internet access. Moreover, reinstalling the antivirus did not change anything; it continues to store its settings anyway. This antivirus, damn it, lives a separate life. I am also annoyed by potential surveillance from the FSB, for foreigners this is not a problem, but for me, CIA surveillance would be better.
Great work 🌞
Both Kaspersky and Bitdefender have strong anti-malware capabilities, but their methods are slightly different. Kaspersky provides a System Watcher component that monitors system activity and uses various databases and algorithms to detect and block suspicious activity, effectively protecting against zero-day threats and ransomware. On the other hand, Bitdefender excels at real-time protection and has a slightly better result in detecting and eliminating 2,000 types of malware during testing.
Bitdefender free protege de ramsonware?
Super comparison! Can we see a comparison between Sophos enterprise and Bit defender enterprise? I use for various companies the Sophos security suite and I must say it's rock solid, especially it's tamper protection! Happy to provide a license for a Sophos enterprise endpoint to test
Used BD then switched to Kaspersky early last year due to price plus Kaspersky included VPN and password manager for free
How did you activate the unlimited VPN in the Plus version of Kaspersky? I own it (Total Security to Kaspersky Plus) and I don't have the unlimited VPN
why do you even pay for these AV softwares?
i just use the free ver of bitdefender....
Download it and log in with your ID. @@LovelyKittenMusic
bitdefender still earning its place ; glad to see it
also glad to see kaspersky has gotten a lot better in recent years
great video dude =]
We've been using it since 2008, not a single infection since then... back then, I was also a not very vigilant child, known to download malware on a weekly basis 😂
Thx 4 the testing. It's really appreciated... Which one uses less resources it it's significant ?? 👍😎
yes Kaspersky uses less, it can be significant at times.
There was a time when I was using Kaspersky. Great stuff. Never had a problem. But now I'm perfectly fine with Windows Defender.
to many false positives with windows defender and they delete half of your programs on you.....
keygens or what ever windows defender will delete off your system
i've switched from kaspersky to bitdefender for 2 years...both works fine...both gives me vpn and password manager...
This is nice! I've been a Bitdefender user for years with my family and PCs. I couldn't trust Kaspersky before as they had a lot of product upgrade spam. It just irritated me. Nice to know their performance is up!
Whats are the resources consumptions on both pcs when running the tests ?
This is like watching IPL matches antivirus premiere league ❤❤ great commentary bro ❤
FINALLY BITDEFENDER. DO MORE!!
Hey Leo thank you very much this is great comparison between two great security applications I hope you can make another antivirus tier list for 2024
This is great, but I would like to see how many system resources are being used.
Good test, thnx Leo!
Glad to see you here
@@Gateastrologykc Jip always watch his videos 🙂
@@jitechsolutions very close results like in your tests
@@Gateastrologykc Jip true as it always are with these 2 products
Oi hello JiTech,big fan of ya keep up the good work😊
Great video. But instead of only malware tests can you also look into the advanced threat defenses of these antivirus since they they pose quite a major issue. For malware tests antivirus are getting better at detecting them
i vote for Kaspersky am using Kaspersky from 2019 and i still used it ❤
Using KAV since 2008 here!
Using KAV since 2008 here!
Very very helpful vid. Thank you!
I'll always stick with Kaspersky. They're 1 of the best antivirus software. No doubt Bitdefender is great, but I still rate Kaspersky the best. They never miss anything, so you're completely safe
Great test 👍. Thank you
Love your conent bro, really good information.
🤔 You left me thinking the approach of the products... I have Kaspersky installed for my parents that are not very techie... I think they would scare if something sort of executes... I will reflect on that. Thank you!
Why was the Adobe Reader shortcut on the desktop? Did something get through and nothing picked it up on a second scan?
Adobe Reader is legitimate software by Adobe, why would anything detect it?
It was likely bundled in some installer/adware, however Adobe Reader itself is not malicious and was allowed to install, and anything else that may have tried to be installed was blocked.
@@Hecklezz true it is legitimate software but then why did one antivirus allow it and the other one didn't? Kaspersky must have noticed something was wrong and prevented the install.
@@gremory0 Probably a fake Adobe Reader installer. It legitimately installs Reader but trojans another software inside. BitDefender probably blocked the Trojan payload but let Adobe Reader install just fine.
I once got a virus because I stupidly downloaded a Firefox update from a non-firefox website without thinking over a decade ago. Took a few hours to clean up the damage caused by that.
why on the start of the video the bitdefender says 30 days of trial left and in the end of the video 28? on bottom right its says its the same day
Finally, 2024 Kaspersky live test, thanks leo
Bitdefender looks pretty good here! Might use them to run my firewall for my Netgear home router. Does anyone think that will get in the way of running Sophos on my home systems though?
Wouldn't you have to make your PC the router then...?
Please review UltraAV and compare it to Kaspersky or Bitdefender.
Big difference I see at first test is, that Bitdefender tells you afterwards "Everything is fine", while Kasperky tells you, that your system is at risk.
Please create some video on phishing attacks for Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET, Avast and Norton. Also please upload some video on AVG vs Malware.
It would be interesting to see some antivirus comparison for android phones. Some of my experience tells me that in that case Bitdefender is a better option than Kaspersky.
it is, Bitdefender has full real time protection both during install and in downloads
As always, these videos are never disappointing.
On another note, how do you collect these samples from the internet? Is there software, or is it manual work??
Nice video 👍
Next time run the scripts as administrator so you don’t have to click yes on the UAC every time.
Or maybe i am missing something?
Hi. Do you recommend any windows debloaters and how do we use them without breaking windows when lowering the processes down to 50's or lower. example chris titus (advanced) or winpilot. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video. I was just trying to figure out if I should get the Kaspersky premium since my license was coming to an end and was hoping that maybe there would be other security software that it was better but it looks like kaspersky still has it so I went ahead and renewed my license
My Kapersky runs out soon. so is BitDefender the next best thing?
Thank you for comparing these industry standard security products. Can you please compare avast and avira free av simultaneously next time. Thank you
I would say this is a draw, or maybe a close victory by bitdefender due to more aggressive approach. Quite satisfied to have chosen bitdefender to replace kaspersky on my machines exactly 23 months ago.
Who won the match? I still can't understand the enigma results 😂
I run Bit Defender for the fam and have been very happy with them. I had a scare from a hacked NAS (not mine, I just had access to it) a few years ago that made me tighten down everything tighter than a bull's asshole. Sad that you need so much protection these days.
I use Kaspersky and find it works very well. I would trust Russian Kaspersky more than U.S software.
i love to see comparaison with products ! could you perform the same with Windows Defenders and one of the top 3 best free antivirus ?
Nice, very well executed
What is the difference between Kaspersky premium(subscription model) vs Kaspersky Internet security( yearly license key) ? I have the later. Can you please clarify ?
The difference is that you got suckered into paying for extra 'features' that aren't really necessary. Just about all of the antivirus solution companies do this in order to make money, but there are no significant differences in real world performance for antivirus, antispyware and malware for example, compared to the free versions. This can be checked on AV Comparatives by the way, so that you can see for yourself.
this is what i have been waiting for
Thanks a lot for that awesome video
could you make a video about the top 3 or 5 free Antivirus ?
Thank you for your content.
As a bitdefender user for multiple years and not any crudware that i know of in my pc they have a customer for life. Not that resource intensive either. Looking to add the VPN asap.
Bitdefender and kaspersky both are great. But the problem with bitdefender is, they too much eating RAM or CPU and sometime, the web blocking dosen't always work. But to be honest, both product are great
Bitdefender for me only uses a few percent more in background usage.
@@blazerod592 i agree. because i had been try bitdefender before like internet security and total security. but the biggest problem with bitdefender is sometime miss like blocking malware or virus or something else. and bitdefender dosen't have feature like kaspersky such us system watcher. but to he honest. bitdefender and kaspersky are greate than other AV
I have used kaspersky since 2006. It's so strong
With today's technology, it doesn't matter much. Even the free AV programs are more or less at par with the expensive ones. To me, the issue is how quickly an AV company reacts to a new threat.
