Full Review Bullguard – AntiVirus

BullGuard no longer uses the spam protection seen on older versions; however, the real-time protection was significantly improved instead. The result is the important core element of the software working more effectively and offering powerful real-time protection. Through a new behavior detection engine, the software can detect harmful behavior faster than ever and even protects users against unknown hazards. BullGuard offers 3-level protection against threats. The 1st level recognizes trustworthy websites and applications. On the 2nd level, the software scans for anomalies and suspicious signatures. On the final level, all detected hazards are immediately moved to quarantine and neutralized. BullGuard starts automatically with the operating system, is permanently active in the background, and receives current virus definitions through regular updates. The multi-level protection detects phishing attempts, all types of malware, trojans, and ransomware. The software examines data from USB sticks, drives as well as external hard drives, and removes all infected files.

BullGuard software has relatively low technical requirements and can even run on an older computer. Even though the antivirus program starts with the operating system and is permanently active in the background, it does not have a negative effect on computer performance. Users do not even notice the software at all. The focus was on using resource-friendly technologies when developing BullGuard. That is why the software is much more frugal than other security programs. The BullGuard system scanner inspects the computer and reports all findings to the user. This takes some time but puts only minimal strain on your system. Even in the active state, users can continue to work as usual and simultaneously use multiple programs without any restrictions.

Installing BullGuard requires slightly more time than comparable programs. Once this has been completed, users must create a free user account. As soon as the account has been activated, the software will update its virus definitions and be ready to use. BullGuard is distinguished by a high degree of user-friendliness, is fully available in English and easy to operate. Nevertheless, the settings are somewhat limited for experienced users. The program works on Windows XP with Service Pack 3 and subsequent versions.

On the BullGuard website, users can find a FAQ area with answers to the most important questions. These help buyers with the installation, activation, and operation of the software. There is also a friendly community with many helpful participants. Buyers can contact customer service should they have further questions or problems.

Customers can reach BullGuard support either by email or directly through live chat. Emails to support staff are normally answered within 24 hours. English-speaking support is available to users in Live Chat daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The premium support is fee-based. BullGuard has a high reputation among experts and has received multiple awards. On the website, there are awards from the Stiftung Warentest and the trade magazine Computer Bild. There are also many positive customer reviews.

With an intelligent 3-layer protection and high detection rate, BullGuard is one of the best antivirus programs on the market. Thanks to a comparably low annual price of 42.29 dollars or less, the software delivers very good value for money. Buyers are reliably protected against all threats and can surf the internet securely. BullGuard impresses with its high user-friendliness and a few practical functions. The software barely strains the computer and receives automatic updates regularly. If buyers are uncertain, they can test the antivirus software for 15 days or they can get their money back up to 30 days after the purchase. Telephone support is available for a small charge, or you can contact support for free through live chat during the day. The staff is competent and speaks English.
