But can anyone say more about Dave Korn's comment that it could "horribly
frag your heap and bork
your maximum allocatable memory limit"? Can I test this somehow?
Guess I'll just go with it then... :)
In the interim I've tried out a few other "leading" AV products: Avria,
Nod32, and Kaspersky, and I must say BitDefender is still my first choice.
My criteria are pretty simplistic though: score well in at least two
independent tests and otherwise be as invisible and unobtrusive as possible.
