I understand you concern. This is the decision of Bkav. But you can take a test, Bkav Home Plus is not bad .
Otherwise, there is a free version (known as the begin version of Bkav) Bkav Home. You can check it out: http://www.bkav.com.vn/download-bkav-home
You can try Bkav Pro for full features and free technical support 24/7 .

Bkav Home - The free version with basic features. However, if your condition should upgrade to Bkav Pro to achieve effective long-term and comprehensive. To upgrade, you need have Bkav Card Pro  (U.S. $ 299,000 / one year of use, the transfer can take place across the country, free shipping)

Bkav Home Plus - the new free version of the basic features. However, if conditions permit, you should upgrade to Bkav Pro to achieve effective long-term and comprehensive. To upgrade, you need have Bkav Card Pro (U.S. $ 299,000 / one year of use, the transfer can take place across the country, free shipping)

This is quite confusing. Why 2 free versions & whats the difference between the 2?

Confused??

Hi,

Bkav Home is the beginning version of Bkav, which developed since 1995 when Director Nguyen Tu Quang was a student in Hanoi University of Technology. This version is basic, can detect and remove threats, but it seems limit with metamorphic virus.
Bkav Home Plus is based on Bkav Pro engine.

Bkav FE = Bkav Home Plus.

So if a better upgraded free version is available then why the old free version is still available on the site? Old version should be abandoned.

Does this new free version Home Plus or FE removes metamorphic virus normally or code is required?

Hi,

Since Bkav Home is an offline installer and can be used to quick remove threats on not- Internet connected infected PC. Bkav Home is a useful tool in these cases. And you know, Bkav Home is an beginning version of Quang, so I think he wants to remain a memory about it  .

Bkav FE (Bkav Home Plus) requires a free license registration. In case of detecting & removing metamorphic virus, Bkav FE requires a online filled information board to activate Safe Removing temporarily.

OK, currently downloading/installing & will be testing with few malware. Lets see what all is there & how effective it is?

[naren]

Tested on real system XP SP3 32

The free edition is simply not worth at all.

Only very very very poor signature protection available. Proactive, behavior blocker & cloud protection is not available.

Tested with 2-3 days old 20 malware available at malwaretips.com. Almost all the AVs results mentioned for these 20 malware at malwaretips are above 15 i.e all are detecting 15-18 out of 20.

Bkav FE detected 0/20.

Did you restart after installed? And make sure the virus database has been updated.

I restarted twice & yes updated the databases & checked twice.

Hi,


Would you test Bkav Home? Let report here.

The free version is very limited. Most of the free AVs now have the same core protection in their free & paid products. It has lot less compared to other good free AVs. And I dont understand if the features are already limited in the free version why metamorphic virus cleaning is not available normally.

For me the free version is not worth.
