Hey! I have Bitwar since few weeks ago and didn’t see this article haha! I think the software is very friendly and intuitive, so I never had to search how to do anything, but it was nice to check all the options very well explained. For those who are starting to use it, I recommend always doing a quick scan at the beginning, and if is not enough, then the other one, I went straight for the deep scan and took a few to be ready, and it wasn’t necessary hehe, that’s it!
