Avast vs. Bitdefender Which is the Best Free Antivirus? – Blorge

Lately there have been a lot of cyber-crimes which should definitely be countered with using a good antimalware. But a good antivirus comes with a subscription and you must pay for the service. Since many people dont want to buy such a service, there are a few options of free software but not all are good.

So what are the best two free antivirus software? Weve gathered and compared Avast and Bitdefender to see which is the best out of the top free antimalware programs.

A Closer Look on Avast

This software has a high rating on the list of antivirus programs. It has a free 2017 version and a lot of features.

Avast is effective against malware, against PUPs (Potentially unwanted Programs) and detects and shuts down every Malware you get. Its effective against phishing attacks and works on IE, Firefox and Chrome, showing you which site is unsafe by adding a semi-transparent logo on it and telling you that its not safe.

Avast has Impressive Free Features

You have wifi scanner, password scanners, and password manager. It can help you create strong passwords and access them through the program, automatically filling them in. It checks your wifi and sees if the network is secure on all your devices. It can block unwanted trackers, flag unsafe sites and more.

What about Bitdefender?

Bitdefender is a top virus protection software. It lacks many of Avast features but its a bit stronger. Its very good in fighting phishing risks, protects users from website scams and fraud. Its a slim version of protection which it does its job very well, effectively protecting users from viruses.

Which is the Best Antivirus? Avast or Bitdefender?

It comes down to what you expect from an antivirus. Avast has a lot of features and some users might like them, while some might think its a little too bloated. Bitdefender is a simple and gread antivirus program, equal as Avast in protecting you from malware, having an edge against phishing scams.

If we were to choose a victor, Bitdefender should rise on top due to its simple, bloat-free and excellent protection.

LETTER: Abusing the Second Amendment to intimidate is prelude to tragedy – The Daily Freeman

Dear Editor,

Second Amendment enthusiasts, is this what you had in mind? Does the march in Charlottesville by neo-Nazis, Klansmen, and white supremacists represent the ultimate expression of our right to bear arms?

Was anyone else a bit taken aback by the sight of American Youth for Hitler armed with helmets, shields, and semiautomatics, parading in torch light, shouting Jews will never replace us and Blood and Soil?

Or is it just me?

Excuse me, where does it say in the Second Amendment that we have the right to bear arms for purposes of intimidation and threat? Or am I mistaken, and those guns were on display simply to show pride in Americas military heritage?

My right to free speech does not permit me to shout Fire! in a crowded theater just for the fun of watching terrified people scramble. Does the legislated right to carry arms openly allow hate groups to file down our streets in military formation, groups that preach hostility and have a history of violence ? To use our public parks to sermonize as their centurions with AK-47s stare down protesters or passersby?

If we view the Second Amendment as absolute and as expansive as its fiercest supporters advocate and if we suspend our ability to make judgments about limits to rights that threaten public safety, Charlottesville will not be the last or the worst act of domestic terrorism committed under the banner of American greatness.

Letter: Drivers of Second Amendment – Suburban Life Publications

To the editor:

When gun fanatics tell me they have a Constitutional right to bear arms, with virtually no restrictions whatsoever, I ask them if they're planning to go searching for runaway slaves. For that is one of the primary drivers for the Second Amendment, enacted in 1791, just after the First Amendment protecting free speech. To be fair there was a second driver of the Second Amendment: Indian removal. The colonists looked west at the lush land inhabited for centuries by indigenous peoples and said, "We want that." King George demanded the colonists stay put in the 13 colonies and levied taxes to be paid in English pounds to pay for soldiers sent to enforce that edit the colonists feverishly ignored. Voila! The Declaration of Independence and revolution.

Once free of hated George III, the colonists formed militias and embarked on westward expansion, initiating a century-long plunder of Native Americans' wealth. And gun ownership was key to the marauding militias, hence thesecond driver of the famous: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." What did you expect them to enshrine?: "A well regulated militia being necessaryto capture runaway slaves and clear Indians from the west, the right of thepeople to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

NSSF: 21 State Attorneys General Defend Second Amendment Rights in Kolbe v. Hogan Case – PR Newswire (press release)

Led by West Virginia's Patrick Morrisey, the attorneys general ask the court to consider whether the lower court inappropriately limited the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms by banning certain firearms typically owned by citizens by finding that those firearms would be most useful for military service.

Joining West Virginia's effort are the attorneys general from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

"We thank Attorney General Morrissey and the 20 other attorneys general who stand in respect of the rights of their citizens to keep and bear arms," said Lawrence G. Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for NSSF. "This is demonstrative of a widespread belief that Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals overreached in their creation of a unique standard and twisted the guidance and wisdom of the Heller decision. We are encouraged and grateful that with this petition will be an opportunity to establish that our rights don't end at a state's border."

The attorneys general argue in their brief that the Supreme Court's Heller decision established "in common use at the time for lawful purposes" and those "typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes," as an individual right, and that Maryland's modern sporting rifle ban "amounts to a prohibition of an entire class of arms." The petition adds the Fourth Circuit adopted a "novel standard" in interpreting Heller and would replace the "common use" standard with a subjective judicial review of military use for firearms.

The attorneys general argue that review of the case provides an opportunity for the Supreme Court to clarify the scope of the Heller decision. Lower courts have issued disparate rulings and that has led to confusion concerning how Second Amendment rights are interpreted for citizens in different states.
