    A week ago BullGuard 7.0 beta started.
    I must say this is really good.

    Any BullGuard users here?
    I'm curious about your opinion about BullGuard

    You can no longer obtain the beta, as BullGuard only wanted 2000 testers.

    Sorry it's a closed Beta test. Anyone using BullGuard 6.1?
    cpu? BullGuard .exe 6.525 BullGuard Updat.exe 4.560 That's all

    It's great and really low cpu after using KIS 6.0

    I remember that BullGuard told me that version 7 will also have an antispyware module. Are they now using the BitDefender antispyware technology or is it some other company's technology?

    It has an antispyware module indeed. It is integrated in AntiVirus so I think it is Bitdefender but I'm not sure. But most important it works great

    Hi Anti-spyware is their own custom made module. I must say I'm impressed with it.
    I normally use KIS 6 but BullGuard is really a good piece of work

    Custom made module? o_O

    If you want to check if BullGuard's AntiSpyware uses BD engine, then search for files on your computer named e_spyw.***

    These are the update files for the spyware detection capabilities of BitDefender. If they are present in BullGuard, then BullGuard should be using BitDefender engine for AntiSpyware.

    The only problem with BullGuard for me is that its very costly :(

    I don't know where you are from. In Europe it is about € 59 per year this is for three licenses and backup. But I must say that I don't know what the prices will be for 7.0

    I live in a developing nation in Asia where the per capita income is much lower than some European countries. As a student, the maximum I am able to afford is about $44 for one year's services. That is why I feel BullGuard is costly...

    No problem guys, I'm one of the beta testers of the current Beta.
    We are almost at Beta 3. xD
    I was also chosen to be in the first 300 to get it a couple of days before everyone else.

    Hehe, so I got some screenshots and some info.

    http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m74/Pacoup/Bullguard-Beta-7.jpg

    Seriously, I've never seen an Antivirus work so well.
    As far as I can say, it doesn't eat memory quite as much as Symantec does even though it uses dynamic checking. It's ability to locate viruses on your computer is very powerful too, it also scans through archives etc.

    The anti-spam, well, it's quite basic, blocks some stuff I beleive but my AdAware and PC Tools still discover some more hundreds of em.

    On the firewall side though, this one is a genius.
    Did you ever dream of a firewall that didn't blocked your games, did you ever dream of a firewall that doesn't make your downloads slow. And yes it does protect you.
    Well Bullguard has the one for you.

    This is a very well built utility, but I will soon put it on a test on my test computer. The virus I'm going to get is one that you accept to download through a crack. Most firewalls and antivirus (like Symantec & McAfee) skip it because they thought you were sure to execute that file. Nontheless, I did that with 6 different security suites from Symantec and McAfee and they failed to do anything, the time they would take to do action would lead to the death of my computer.
    Well well, we shall see if Bullguard is capable of a little more, at the demise of a little bit more of memory usage (dynamic protection).

    Hallo to everybody. I'm a new registered member in this forum.
    Could you attach screenshots and explain something about firewall?
    At the moment I'm using Sunbelt Kerio. Is bullguard firewall settable like kerio (or outpost, as it uses his engine)?

    Thanks alot.
    Mike
