Thanks to a post from "Art" I use it and I am pleased with it. Of
course, I can't say how effective it is at finding all viruses. It has
the great virtue that it does _not_ continually monitor your computer
and it does not complain that you have switched that feature off. I
liked AVG and used it with the real time feature off but the free
edition insists that you scan the entire disk. It could not complete
the scan overnight on my machine. Bit Defender has a flexible system
to schedule scans and specify files and directories to scan.
