Version: BitDefender Antivirus 2008
Pros: This AV find nearly all virus and other bad things. Only Nod32 and Kaspersky could give it a fight.
Cons: On some computers (pentium 4 HT) blue screen will appear because of bad written memory dump solution.
Do not like all firewalls.

"It achieves its goal... though in a bad way"
Pros: Decent scanning times... Frequent updates... Customizable. Good Responsiveness From Customer Support...
Cons: High resource usage... Massive compatibility issues(Many undocumented), Causes BSOD(BLue Screen of Death)... fix for BSOD disables Registry Protection... Crippled my installation of Windows XP.. My system could not stay up long enough to get a virus if I was trying....

Version: BitDefender Antivirus 2008
Pros: The program is just, marvellous. Ten of times better than any other antivirus in features, detection rate, real-time protection, heuristics, everthing. It is very customizable and user-friendly. It even has rootkit protection as the icing on the cake. It also has antispyware protection. It simply is so good.
Cons: The scans are slow, but thorough.
