A high-quality antivirus program is able to keep malware at bay while not slowing down your computer. This is among the most important factors to consider when choosing an antivirus program for your device since we all know that everyone doesn’t want their computer to be sluggish each time they run a scan. Bitdefender and Kaspersky both excel at this. The two giants of cybersecurity have a good reputation and are at the top of the performance evaluations conducted by independent laboratories like AV-Comparatives.

Both programs provide a broad range of features, including password managers, file shredders, and VPNs. Both offer multi-device board meeting design licences and can be managed from a single console. Additionally Bitdefender’s suite includes the Rescue Environment that creates an encrypted partition on the C drive to reboot the hardware back into Windows and remove any infections from computers. Kaspersky has a similar feature that boot into Linux to do the exact process.

Both companies offer extensive knowledge bases that answer frequently asked questions. They also offer live chat, email, and phone support, in addition to an expert community forum. Kaspersky’s Premium Security Plans also include remote assistance. Bitdefender’s free version does not. Both companies offer a 30 day guarantee of money-back if customers aren’t satisfied.
