  1. A link that can take you to the offers is at http://forum.raymond.cc/threads/kas...y-for-us-physical-giveaway.36488/#post-294755
    There are a good number of other free offers, including ESET Smart security, AVG Internet Security, and Nero. They involve rebates.

    I want to know from Kaspersky and BitDefender users :

    1. How are these programs on false positives and over-aggressiveness with detection of so-called Potentially Unwanted Programs or Applications (PUPs and PUAs)? For me, avast! and Webroot have gone after way too many legitimate programs on my computer.

    2. Do these programs allow user discretion before eliminating programs? Do they tell you what they are doing or have done? I don't want them wiping good programs off my computer without allowing me the opportunity to whitelist them instead.

    3. Do they tell you what they are doing or have done? One time I used the malware function of Glary Utilities. It got rid of something, but it never told me what it was. I have never again used the malware function on Glary Utilities.

    KAspersky is not friendly for the average user and false positives. IMHO, and rating sites, BitDefender is one of the best.
