But, if I start installation process, Bitdefender will erase entirely my already paid Intego AntiVirus etc.!?
What kind of free trial is this? Bitdefender forces me to purchase their product not knowing if I will be sastisfied with its work!? Not fair! Not professional!
Probably, Bitdefender developers use for answer excuses such as: "Technicaly, it cannot work side by side with another AntiVirus program, even as a Trial version...". Thank you, but before I get real answer, I will not destroy my paid Intego protection which I am satisfied with!

Every existing anti-virus program can be disabled for certain perod of time. Then one can try the other anti-virus application. But, when the other anti-virus app demands that existing AV app shoul be removed, just for Trial version, than: "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" (Shakespeare, Hamlet Act 1, scene 4, 87–91). End of story.

Wow, this little beast is a memory hog.
True, it didn't cause my MacBook Pro any noticeable performance degradation but that kind of memory use for one process IS excessive especially when going on continuously,
So I uninstalled BD and will stick with ClamX for now.
But you're saying "There are no viruses for Macs out there currently" and your right but it's just a matter of time before one or more are unleashed upon us and and I think it prudent to have some protection and be familiar with using it.

I know that most people think, that a Mac don't needs a scanner.
I don't think so. I want to be prepared.

As far as I know, it's the only program around that includes all three functions.
I gave it a test run and found it not particularly fast. Perhaps the inclusion of ant-phishing and anti-spyware functions slows Bit Defender down. Anyway, it seems to be pretty thorough......it claimed to find and delete 6 java related cooties on my Mac.
Bit Defender is NOT free as stated here but $40 for a one year's license, $60 for two years and $90 for three years.....a bit pricey but in line with other anti-virus software.
With the malware threat to Macs increasing, it does make sense to consider some protection and have it on hand.
Looks like Bit Defender's anti-phishing and anti-spyware functions give it a leg up on other anti virus software.
I just might go for it if it were available at a discount such as a MU Promo.

I ran the virus scan and it came up with nothing.
I know that there are currently no real virus threats for Mac, but I like to keep an anti virus program on hand for the day when there is a threat.....sooner or later one will rear its ugly head.
