Bitdefender and Kaspersky two of the best cybersecurity software companies, provide antivirus protection for Windows OS and macOS. They also offer iOS and Android apps. Their full suites offer numerous layers of protection against ransomware and fraud, as well as anti-phishing, fraud protection and a password manager. Both have rescue disks that reboot your computer into fresh copies of the operating system. It can also remove files that are severely affected.
Both products have excellent malware detection rates, as demonstrated in independent tests conducted by AV Test and AV-Comparatives. However, Bitdefender was a better performer in my own tests and has several major advantages that make it the more appealing option for a large number of users: It’s notably lighter on system resources, quicker to scan, and less likely to produce false positives. Its layout is more logical with a sidebar that categorizes settings by category, and expandable lists.
Both companies offer comprehensive support via email, telephone, online chat, and a community forum that is staffed by experts. But Bitdefender Premium Security adds an informative FAQ page and provides 24/7 support via phone in 16 countries, which is especially useful for business customers who may require assistance with troubleshooting or working through complicated security issues. The his response security dashboard comes with a user’s manual built-in making it simpler to use.
