how about Net-Worm.Win32.Kido.ih ? because in another antivirus (kaspersky) it can be detected but bitdefender cant. please give me some answer.

BitDefender's detection name for Kaspersky's Net-Worm.Win32.kido.ih is Win32.Worm.Downadup.Gen. In case of infection, BitDefender won't report the malicious file as Kido, but rather as Downadup. All in all, BitDefender will still protect you from this threat, regardless of the detection name.
