Interesting. I'll have to give it a try. 65% more viruses? Hmmm

 

....than traditional antivirus engines

 

Which are ..... ??

 

Exactly. I know that its probably marketing but come on. How does one come up with such a number?

 

Well,i've watched 2 or 3 youtube reviews for the beta version,and i must say i'm impressed.I think i have to test it for myself,as it seems as the webguard catches 99% of the malware.

 

Probably they mean signature-based only

 

Is this still Bitdefender av and Outpost firewall combo? Also, is the Bitdefender B-have the behavior monitor?

 

I believe the first two are still yes and the behavior block I read (on their forum) was from http://www.novashield.com/

Maybe someone that has it installed can confirm http://systemexplorer.net/db/nsserv.dll.html

 

I was bored so I installed it before bed. I think I saw a Bitdefender plug in in the Bullguard directory. As you can see the Outpost and Novashield drivers in AutoRuns. I also read that the Bullguard Inspector is from Secunia.

 

Downloaded the antivirus to test it against the spyshelter test it seem has a huge update which will cost me money cuz i'm using Limited Bandwidth

 

thanks for the info- had not heard much out of novashield in a while

 

I don't know if BullGuard continued to develop Novashield, but on the Novashield website it says it's 32-bit only and the installer is from June 2010.

 

My first impressions on Bullguard AV (for this i have license) are very good.It's much lighter than 10 version,GUI is redesign,more slicker and more easier to use.The C Drive scan took 47 minutes,a little too long for my taste,but it's ok.The browsing doesn't seems slowed down at all,and the laptop start-up it's normal.
But i don't understand why it has that update service that runs all the time in the memory.I don't have problems with that,but eats a lot of RAM just for an AV.All in all,it seems to me that they did a pretty good job with Bullguard.

 

Not really, but AV's with no runtime analyzers, or emulation techniques.

 

And like previous versions, webguard dependent on browser plugin?
