Bullguard 2013 is Out!!

Has any one looked through BG program files and see NovaShield,I assume it is part of this. www.Novashield.com

 

After reading through this thread about bullguard i decided to give it a whirl this morning and the installation went without any issues.

However the resource usage was very high in my opinion.90000k ram being used at one point.Although this was straight after installation and it didnt seem to affect the computer anyhow.
Does this resource usage go down in time because if it doesnt then i wont try it again.

Also i couldnt find where to configure the firewall anywhere.Upon installation i couldnt get connected to the internet at all.

Those are the only two issues i experienced with bullguard.If somebody could clarify that the resource usage will go down because i considered it heavy.
Any help with the firewall would be appreciated too or have i missed something i needed to do.

Hello ive just installed bullguard again and it seems to be working just fine except it wont let my comodo dragon browser connect.Ive allowed it within bullguard.
Firefox works just fine.Im mystified why chrome/dragon grinds to a halt.
Any help please?

 

Why don't you contact their online live support bro?

Thanks berry racer.ive sent them a support ticket.
Im liking this software actually.it hasnt slowed anything down.as i say firefox runs just fine but dragon does not even get to the homepage.Weird.

 

I have a 1 year license but I am gonna extend it to 3 years as I love how fast my system is with this top notch AV!

 

I havent seen the AV in action yet lol.
But yeah im impressed with this,Just wish i knew what the hell was going on with my other browser.

 

I jumped ships from Bitdefender AV To BullGuard Av.A few issues with BD that got I my nerves.

 

Im really liking bullguard.I think it will be a permanent resident on my laptop.I like how the firewall works too.the alerts etc.
Havent seen the AV in action yet.

Odd problem with comodo dragon not connecting.I may ditch the dragon and go back to firefox.

 

I have comodo Dragon on two systems no problems at all but I am not using the suite.

@berryracer, your right... I like it a lot. Thanks

 

@Dark Shadow: Awesome bro!

I just renewed my 1 year using the 70% discount offer and now I have 4 years license for 5 computers

No more worrying about buying licenses as I am loving this BullGuard

 

+1 Me too it has finally won me over.Ive been running bullguard now for a few hours and it runs sweetly.Ive said bye bye comodo and bullguard has a new home lol.

 

Well done man! And this price for such an awesome suite running the Bitdefender Engine + Outpost Firewall is a STEAL really and probably won't happen again so that's why I purchased me a long term license at least I found a replacement for my old AV (wont mention name here) that is light and effective!!! I love my new laptop now and how it performs

 

Thanks for the info on bullguard much appreciated my friend.

 

Can anyone confirm this?

When I installed BullGuard I was given option to have more control over what it does, but I uninstalled it before dealing with any actual threats, so did not get to test this.

I refuse to use any av software which does not let ther user choose what to do when a threat is found.

 

This page shows the setup options:

http://www.bullguard.com/support/pr...ivirus-guides-13/main/antivirus-settings.aspx

Two options for dealing with an infection are offered:

• Fix the file
• Block the file

In addition, if you check the "Display a popup" option, you'll be presented with a dialog box when an infection is detected:

http://www.bullguard.com/support/pr...es-13/antivirus/antivirus-alerts-(guide).aspx

This dialog box (and a "More details" link in the box) offers some combination of these options:

• Allow
• Delete
• Quarantine

If BullGuard cannot deal with the infection, it also offers this option:

• Contact support

 

So there is no option to ignore the detection? In that case, I won't give BG 2013 another try.

 

Is Allow the same as ignore?

 

I would think that "allow" equals ignoring. I suppose it is a question as to whether an exclusion is added if you click on allow.

 

Apparently, if you don't delete the infected file immediately upon detection, your only other option is to send it to quarantine and deal with it there:

http://www.bullguard.com/support/pr...s-guides-13/antivirus/quarantine-(guide).aspx

Quarantine offers these options:

• Restore
• Upload
• Delete

 

The "Allow" option is only offered with a behavioral detection. It means that the executable can continue to run. The "Allow" option is not offered when an infected file is detected, so "Allow" does not mean "Ignore."

 

That seems a reasonable instruction to me.

 

BullGuard Internet Security FTW!

 

Why would you "allow" an infected file anyway?
