A user-friendly software is a key aspect when selecting an antivirus program. The most reliable programs are easy to install, simple to use, and don’t consume system resources. Both Kaspersky and Bitdefender satisfy these criteria, however each program has its own unique characteristics and styles.
In our tests during our testing, the Kaspersky install was quick and easy, without the need for an Internet connection. Once installed, the software immediately began to scan for malware on our PC and then logged the results on the dashboard. It was easy to determine the amount of malware that was detected and quarantined. Any other potentially problematic results were readily available to further investigate. It also gave the option to deactivate automatic renewal for the next year, which was an excellent feature for newbies.
Bitdefender has a more intuitive dashboard that uses a clean attractive layout that displays your subscription status on the home screen and allow look at this website users to choose which services should appear on the main screen. The program also includes a sidebar that displays settings based on their category, and is easier to navigate. However, the overall experience is still not as easy as Kaspersky and its more complex design takes some time to get used to.
Kaspersky’s detection engines are better equipped to recognize when something is not malicious, as opposed to Bitdefender’s, which has more false positives. Kaspersky’s EDR management is more streamlined and ideal for smaller businesses who don’t have the resources to manage the software.
