    Thanks for the info. If someone would like to know little bit more about this AV:
    According to wikipedia it uses BitDefender anti-virus engine. Raymond.cc performance tests shows it's not the lightest one on the market.

    Just saying.

    I used Bullguard a few years ago, it seemed much lighter than Norton & McAfee which I later replaced it with (I use MSE now) & Bullguard is probably the only suite I have ever liked. I believe it utilises the Outpost firewall.

    I cant use it practically .Lags everything ,deep scan is hanging due to the antirootkit scaner and the forum feedback is 0.Only Lavasoft AdAware beats this as resources hog :) Some services fail to close at restart ,etc
    It also installs some WinSock 2 driver that makes svchost connectiing to the bullguard servers for authetication on behalf of bullguard services .
    Strange antivirus.
    Anyone having it working ?
    My dual core 3,1Ghz and 4 gigs can t feed this dog.

    Same experience here with Bullguard. I cannot believe that a security software could be as bloat as this. This software requires more than 500 megs on your hard drive! Add to this its hunger for resources practically making the system unusable, I think this software requires some work.

    I have also watched a review of Bullguard IS on youtube in which it did not do good, although a single review cannot justify its reliability.

    So, it looks like BullGuard has gone down the bloaty path. I'm still glad I ditched AV suites. ;)

    No bloat here at all. This one is running very light on my computer (i dont care about ram usage and never checks it). My family got some of the freebies and they all seem to like it very much because of the lightness, ease of use and great support (one of them had a fp and they used livechat support which instantly fixed the problem).

    Are you sarcastic ?! :)

    This antivirus combined with a firewall on an XP SP3 is not usable.Everything you do is delayed.
    Puting back NAV 2010 or Avast or even Panda AV let s my PC doing some other jobs.A PC is usually used for different purposes not for runnning an AV only ,this is not why i ve bought it ,just to run an AV.
    It may be that on W7 to run different ,but on XP 32 bit sucks.I was very happy seeing the offer but i look at the key and realize it will end up like my BD 2009 AV key ,unused.
    If on an Phenom 2 X2 550 and 4 Gigs runs like this then what hardware should i get to use it ?!

    Yes ,but don t you think that a simple X2 550 + 4Gigs + ATI 4850 + Asus Xonar D1 and some Realtek onboard network card should simply work ?

    I managed to install it on some other PC ,similar hardware.Installed the trial ,activated and finally seemes to work.Unfortunatelly the rootkit scanner still stalls.
    Anyway opposed to BD 2011 it installed :)
    Let s see if i m able to use it 380 days or some glitch forces me to uninstall :)

    Wow...did a test with BullGuard tonight. I will post my review on my blog sometime tomorrow. Not impressed.

    The free offer is great and no one is discounting that, but test wise...

    Also I have seen if your trial version of Bullguard runs out it stops all DNS connnections to the outside world so makes Browser connections useless. A friend was complaining of this and it took me ages to get the root of the problem. Pinging to raw IP addresses worked ok but trying to ping a www address and nothing worked.

    All was ok after removing the Bullguard software. Every time the PC rebooted it kept on coming up saying your trial version had expired and that it wanted you to pay for it .

    In my opinion really bad to have happen.

    This is disappointing that y'all have found so many issues with it, I've always looked at Bullguard as a suite I would like to try if I didn't like CIS so much.
