This from BullGuard UK website: "In 2021, BullGuard became part of NortonLifeLock, alongside leading brands like Norton and Avira. Now, the BullGuard brand is transitioning to Norton which means people everywhere can benefit from award-winning protection like Norton™ 360 Deluxe. IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR UK CUSTOMERS: With this change, we will stop selling BullGuard products on March 31, 2022. Current BullGuard customers with an active subscription will continue to receive protection and service through the end of their existing subscription." It is fair to conclude that the US sales will follow the UK soon.
Current subscribers will use bullguard or norton? If bullguard will be used, will the program upgrade to new versions?
Website information is not clear on that. In the end they will do whatever makes business sense ($$$$) for them. News at 11.
Bullguard is still being developed. A new version was released last week. https://www.bullguard.com/about/release-notes.aspx
Avira will follow. Before, Avira engine was updated every month. Last update: January 15, 2022, v.15.0.2201.2134 https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/avira.345492/page-235#post-3062374 https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/avira_free_antivirus.html
BullGuard Product Update FAQ – March 31, 2022 https://www.bullguard.com/support/faq/other/bullguard-product-update-faq.aspx
i have activated my licenses, which I received for free last year, I have a bullguard license until 2028. Will new versions be released? (2023-2024 ....)
Just noticed that the BullGuard online User Forum is gone! The link directs you to their main support page. I think the Norton minions are hard at work!
all those assimilated products to norton will have gone dead, LiveLock killed them all in the past. with windows 10 or 11 there is no need for any other antovirus as windows defender. stay clever, stay defender edit, typo
OBITUARY BullGuard Is Officially Dead. RIP From Norton: "As of July 25, 2022, BullGuard products and services are no longer available for sale. We invite you to meet Norton — the #1 top-of-mind Cyber Safety brand globally. Norton is trusted by millions of people around the globe and offers a robust portfolio of products and services to help keep you Cyber Safe, including Norton™ 360 Deluxe." Over the coming months, BullGuard customers will have the opportunity to migrate to a more robust Norton product at no additional cost. "
symantec alias Norton LiveLock acts this way for over 20 years now. cant beat it? just buy it. thats why i am allergic to all new pc which include this pre-installed crap. pre-installed anyway. thats also why i never renewed also malwarebytes (ok, its a life time license ^^ but i dont use it since v3) so many tiny and excelent solution concerning malware or similar. in most cases one or two men products. yeah, Kaspersky ruined outpost, not better.
As I have said before, when the smoke clears from consolidation, there will be a few left standing with about the same efficacy.
