just tried bit defender 8 pro, DAMN it was HELL !!!, first all it was a resource hogger (44 MB), and then the trouble i had to go through just to remove it !!!!, startup of Windows was slow, so I tried to stop it from running, then tooook a looong time and then i couldnt even open My Computer !, tried removing it but tat didnt help, halfway thru it displayed the BSOD and quickly restarted my PC, further attempts of removing it again proved unsuccessful,so i tried a system resote bcoz maybe my reg corrupted, tat didnt work either, system restore failed to restore and now i deleted it manually, but I still can't delete 1 file 'bdshelxt.dll', it says access denied and tat a prog might be using it, it's the shell extension file for bit defender i think, ialready removed all it's components from starting up but can't seem 2 del tthis file, anyway it might be tat this prob is happening bcoz of either my Rig (office PC actually

) is 2 slow (i doubt it though coz Chip tested this s/w on a 566 mhz celeron and amd athlon 1.2 ghz, and rated this s/w as best performer and best value for money),my specs here is 1.6 Ghz,512 ddr-sdram....,so maybe registry got corrupted wat, anyway maybe i will install kapersky (worried abt those 'ADS' thingy and slow bootup time) or Anti-vir for my home PC
edit: found out thru Bit Defender site on how to remove the file and completely uninstall it
