Seems intriguing that they use both Avira and Bitdefender engines. I use AOMEI Backupper and that's from China. No issues.

As I (admitedly maybe imperfectly) understand current developments, ALL the "old school" big-brand antivirus scanners fail to detect agile intrusions by savvy hackers.

For example, see (link) [" AntiAnti-Virus Solutions Based on Static Signatures Are Easy to Evade" ]

Point = pretty much ALL the old-school Nod32/McAfee/Panda/AVG/Avast/Avira/Norton....etc. etc. address a style of threatening capability that hackers have left in the dust, is way in the old days, OBSOLETE. In Feb 2015 even some of the BIG NAME sandboxes that attempt to detect zero day infections are inadequate, and workarounds past them are THOROUGHLY known to good hackers (trust me) ...INEFFECTIVE!!!! Don't help you!!!

It's suggested you go read the above link. Won't hurt you, won't cost much time, may help awaken you to REALITY. Hackers have slalomed pathways bypassing the retail antivirus programs, the retail sandboxes. Maybe tomorrow you'll (as I have 6 times now) get an apology from your broker or your bank or your university...we're so sorry..."they" breached us and got all your personal ID and account info.


Cloud = crap (based on experience). Do Not trust CLOUD for security. (Based on experience...yeah hey you DON'T know better)

Seems to work fairly well. I like the fact you can download the virus db and do offline updates that way.
