It's always better to get the more expensive version. Not only do you enjoy the experience more, you'll probably end up spending less money in the long run, because the higher quality version lasts longer.

so like, after the upgrade to windows 10 my computer which uses an amd apu and gpu has been weird
basically what's wrong is amd dual graphics:

it's not working with a few games when it's enabled (games like assassins creed 4, space engineers and civilization 5) and it used to work with these games on windows 8. it works fine with other games though, but when it's disabled it makes those games work slower (for obvious reasons)

does anyone know why it won't work with a few on windows 10? sorry if I'm being really vague but it would help if I had an understanding of why this occurs

Update your graphics drivers.

Update your graphics drivers.

they are updated, the more updated I can go is to use the beta drivers

"Dude has 803Mhz. Lets research that stuff man" who does that?

I did, that's why I know how it works.

Give the beta drivers a go, see if they change anything

Is Bitdefender still a good av?

[shitlord]

bitdefender acted like a loving virus on my laptop so no i dont recommend it

[espio100]

The best av is common sense

[DJ Charizard]

MalwareBytes best AV.

I like Malwarebytes pro combined with enabling windows defender. Seems to work well enough that way.

It's worth taking a trawl through some of the tests performed here.

Bitdefender is near the top of seemingly all the tests, even performance. Safe to objectively say it's a good AV still.

I wasn't using bitdefender but after reading through the results I will be now

yet it managed to use all of my cpu when doing nothing on my laptop
it also overlapped all other windows forcing me to create a loving account to use it, and wouldn't even let me exit out until i made an account
once i ended it in task manager, it kept coming back up over and over

Sounds like a fringe case tbh. It doesn't seem to be having any issues on my pc so far, only popped up once. Given its performance in all the tests it's worth trying as an AV I'd say. If it has issues like your claiming for him, he should obviously try other AVs.
