    "Not bad at all"

    September 22, 2010  |   By oojimmyflip

    Version: BullGuard Internet Security 8.5

    Pros

    ignore all the rubbish comments about Bullguard being rubbish we bought two three user licenses on two disks for £15 for each 3 user disk. cheap and cheerfull on amazon. we havent had any serious problems as yet running windows XP pro service pk 3.

    Cons

    Not much to critizise did have a little issue connecting up to wireless router Bullgard changed the settings on my laptop to default so they had to be changed back but other than that nothing else to report.

    Summary

    buy it give it a try make your own decisions in life you'll probably like it, better still try the two months free version if you want to tweak settings it'll let you, if you dont it just runs in the background and keeps you informed as you go.
    cost effective internet security well worth trying.

    "Not Happy at all with this product at all"

    June 29, 2010  |   By chocfish

    Version: BullGuard Internet Security 8.5

    Pros

    Easy to use interface

    Cons

    Slowed computer down, blocked Google Chrome (had to change settings manually)

    Summary

    Definitely would not bother with this again. Slowed computer down horribly from the day it was installed. It keep blocking Google Chrome when you started it (what kind of decent security system doesn't recognise a good internet browser?) and was generally a pain. Ended up uninstalling it and installing avast instead.

    "There's much better and muuuuuch worse"

    February 14, 2010  |   By Rogueek

    Version: BullGuard Internet Security 8.5

    Pros

    Very effective Firewall
    Very effective real-time protection
    Good Technical Support with Remote Assistance
    Simple and user-friendly interface

    Cons

    On-demand scanning lasts for too long
    On-demand scanning detection levels should be higher
    Could be cheaper

    Summary

    My veredict is that Bullguard 8.5 is a good Internet Security Suite for the average user. It's one of those software to "install-and-forget" because its good real-time protection covers its "just-a-little-bit-more-than-average" on-demand scanning results which should be higher for the time that Bullguard lasts to complete scanning your computer (higher scanning-times should mean deeper scanning techniques). I shall sing praises to the magnificent and quick-responding technical-support as well to their Remote Assistance tool. Overall, this is a good competitor in the smaller names of Internet Security "Championship". It's almost at the top of this "Second League" but it's still not good enought to compete with the giants of this Industry. A lower price could attract new clients and would be more reasonable for the protection-level offered

    "Its an ok product"

    May 14, 2009  |   By co0lie

    Version: BullGuard Internet Security 8.5

    Pros

    Fast virus detection. Great firewall protection

    Cons

    Slow virus scan, and so startup scan. I now use Rising Internet Security Suite much better program.

    Summary

    For the money that you pay for this product, it does not offer that level of protection Rising Antivirus security suite is cheaper and better.

    "Bullguard Stand out from all the rest , A++ Software"

    January 25, 2009  |   By dwayne7191

    Version: BullGuard Internet Security 8.5

    Pros

    . Remote assistance - let a Bullguard Technician solve your computer problem whilst you sit back and relax and they do all the work for you.

    . Excellent Support built into application overall Excellent Internet Security Suite

    Cons

    . The antivirus scanner takes to long to scan your computer like 50 mins at a minimum on my computer which has only got an 80gb hard dick drive this defently needs to be improved very very very soon. It should be able to scan an 80gb hdd in 30mins.

    Summary

    Excellent Quality Product, Detects Viruses Quickly, Has remote assistance so Bullguard can connect to your computer to help you get rid of a virus if you can't get rid of it by yourself and or any other problem they can help you with this way by you sitting back and relaxing and watching the technician from Bullguard at work fixing the problem for you quickly and easily. Excellent Internet Security Iv'e had many internet security suites which I just couldn't stand I would put them on my computer and they would annoy me so I would take them straight off however with Bullguard this is not the case at all I absolutley love it howvere it doies need some improvements theres many I could think of which isn't a good sign but when you compare them to all the rest they truly stand out to be the best. Good Work Bullguard keep at it and keep improving the software.Well Done !
