Bitdefender and Avira provide top-of-the line malware protection real-time security, as well as ransomware security. Both are simple to use so even those who are new to cybersecurity can begin in no time. In addition, both offer various additional features like the VPN or file shredder. additional privacy protections, and one-click optimization.
Avira and Bitdefender both have top overall scores in independent testing labs. However, in this particular round I’d like to give the edge to Bitdefender due to its superior performance in the AVComparatives Performance Test, which tests the impact security software has on a computer’s performance. The low score means that it is able to run in the background without significantly slowing down your PC- unlike some competitors.
AV-Comparatives evaluates the impact of each product’s performance on the system in the course of routine computer activities such as visiting websites, downloading or copying files. Bitdefender was the only product to pass this test with a perfect score, while Avira came in a close second.
Both companies offer a high quality of customer service. Avira offers a useful knowledge base and YouTube channel, while Bitdefender offers a comprehensive support hub with a telephone line with VDR business live chat, email support and videos of tutorials. The support hub is well-organized by product, allowing you to quickly find the assistance you need.
