I don't run anything else and my system is clean. MSE just works. I ran BitDefender. Eset and Kaspersky before and something has always found it's way through. ClamWin AV is much better, or used to be, then Eset and other paid AVs also. If MSE wasn't around, I would be using ClamWin.

I don't care what those reviews say. I use what works and MSE does the job.

It does the job yes but it sort of throws lot of false positive lastly. I think i got 2 or 3 false positive by MSE in the last 6 months while browsing totally clean and safe web site.

I used Bitdefender back in the days when it was not expensive. Was an awesome AV. It's free for 2 years so gonna use it again.

I got one false positive since I started using it.

Yeah, I just excluded various folders with MSE but was shocked when I couldn't ignore things that were caught but were false positives with Bitdefender Free. But, I have heard good reviews so I'm excited to try this out.

I think you need to turn auto pilot off and put the av in user mode to be able to ignore alert. Not sure though.

I disabled the anti-phising/privacy parts and had to put it in user mode to disable the warnings about it being disabled, so that might be the case.

Thanks torrentthief, for the heads up and the key. BD AV+ 2013 for 676 days. Thanks again!

I am finding it interesting lately that a lot of Antivirus vendors are giving away 1 year licenses or sometimes less. I have a half year right now with Panda Antavirus Cloud Pro that I got free and then Advanced System Care Ultimate Which expires in November of this year that I got through them which also happens to have an Antivirus. (Double protection I know), but not noticing any slow speeds on my end as a result. :)

How did you get 676 days? Both keys register just a year for me.

Whoops!! I didn't notice I was in the other thread.... sorry. I am using the key from that thread, but I noticed just now that the program says 2013, but the dashboard says the 676 days is for 2012, so I'm not sure I have the whole 676 days the program says I do. The about box says - Virus Signature - 8714338, and Engine Version 7.45284.

EDIT: It's not showing a device associated with the account.. not sure why because it was earlier.

EDIT #2: Device is showing up now, but the key is showing version 2012 for 676 days.. :iiam:

Just a reminder its the first link to Internet Security NOT the second softpedia link as this is the basic antivirus package and it will gripe about it being the wrong type of key.

Note: The other thread mentioned is for the basic Antivirus this thread is for the Internet security package

I sent you a spare I have it should work as long as you register it before the 24th

Thank you, I'll try it later!

It might be because I registered it with Bitdefender Windows 8 Security.

Damn. Did they kill it? I can't check my brother's laptop at the moment.

Looks like it.

Personally i was suspicious. Usually if it is not on the web site it means it's reserved to the people who got the mail. That's why when it was posted i asked to the op if he had the right to share it. I might be wrong might just be a mistake from the company or a problem with the keys validation server but all my licenses right now are shown as invalid and i can't really say i'm surprised that much.

I checked my product list in the dashboard (MyBitdefender) and it says there's 358 days left. I'm about to check my brother's laptop to see if the program says it's invalid.

EDIT: It looks like it's still valid on my brother's laptop. I was able to update it without any issues.

Mine show valid also at MyBitDefender. Definitely something odd. I'm not really surprised about the FREE thing. Several other "middle-tier" vendors have done it before.

    • AMD 9070XT

      By Circaflex · Posted

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.

      I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By WaltC · Posted

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
