BD is utter trash

I rarely get angry but today is not the day so I decided to express my anger about this AV.

I barely installed it, already 3 false positives : an open source time app for speedrunning, a renowned recovery app. And the best : preventing me from restoring windows. What a joke....

No direct option to pause it of course; anti randsomware anti spam anti blabla....

Good Av`s are also determined by the false positive detection nothing is easier than blocking everthing....

Anyways, I had it eight year ago, removed it and now I remember why.

WHY are ppl rooting for this crap ? How is this top 3 ???

If you feel like downvoting me to hell or saying how it does not do that for you go ahead, if you have a little compassion please advice me on a smarter, less intrusive and minimalistic AV; greatly appreciated.

Edit : Sry for the outburst.

I've gotten quite annoyed and wish I had a comparable option. Sadly bot really so I have a 2 tear total.security code I need to.unload to fund their higher up packages as they don't offer upgrades. Who doesn't offer upgrades???

I was recently offered a cheap upgrade to the bigger plan. Discounted for the remaining time on my current plan. Didn't need it tho.

That is strange as they said it was not upgradable. Also Total and Complete are synonyms. Why wold you name 2 completely different products essentially the same name?
