I have BitDefender Total Security-64-bit and it runs great!

Exactly if you read few posts back you will see I reccomended it to him. You should try BitDefender Total Security great poster.

Bitdefender has very slow on-demand scanner i think

You think, go do some research on it before you put an opinion on something which is most like a guess... Bitdefender came out as #1 AV on many sites... and kaspersky came second, they both or either first or second on most sites... and the scanner is not "very slow on-demand scanner" I know for a fact you never used it...

chillax man....i used Bitdefender before..and compared to avast..Bitdefender do have slower scanning speed..My bad for the used of the word "very"..but look at this attachment..at section "scanning speed"..both free AV like avast and avira have better scanning speed than Bitdefender..

Whenever I scanned my PC it wasnt slow it was normal... but yea it depends on the PC if the scan will be slow or not... but yea BitDefender has high detection rates to find viruses.

Yup, I too read many reviews. Bitdefender has great scan times. It does not scan files that it once scanned. Seems like winning formula.

can we get a link to the white paper so people can be on the same page as you are :)

I do not think you are programmer, so you won't directly unnderstant the whitepapers. Read this version though. The exploit still exists in Win 7 : BizTech: What's New: Windows Vista Kernel Patch Protection (a.k.a. PatchGuard)

i code mostly in asm / c. i understand the woes of x64 and even more into the idiosyncrasy of the differnet architectures

malware of type II and III can easily "bypass" patchguard. Plus PG was designed to keep legal programs from acting like rootkits. Not to detect malicious code --- keep the robots doing what robots do best

Mircosoft has pg in place to stop the AV vendors from using the same kernel hooking techniques that malware and rootkits use! Forcing them to document there techniques is only helping the rootkit makers

For the most part once it gains access to the kernel, its the supreme ruler of the land. Not always the case since the AV vendor is using the same or similar hooking technique

Can you give a comprehensive review with ram usage data, screenshots etc. It will be very helpful

Good Analysis thumbs up !

Do not stop guys, let your inputs pour in ;-)
