Need advice on Bullguard 10 beta

[Dinesh]

Hi there, I received an invitation to test drive the new Bullguard 10 beta anti virus. I m ATM good with Avast and MSE with MBAM. I would like to know whether should I install and try this beta or not. I have heard bad reviews about Bullguard hence I m asking this question.

Comments appreciated,
Dinesh.

Sorry For Example

Symantec make Norton and Microsoft with MSE

The product represents the company name. The name of the company is Bullguard. Of course, in terms of security, this is not a big name but they are seriously coming up with a better product.

Uninstalled. Its using over 100MB RAM even when idle and goes upto 150MB when running updates or scan. That sucks.

Its a company based on Denmark ("BullGuard Limited")

And a side note: As far as I know BullGuard uses BitDefender AV engine..

I have been using Bullguard9 and upgraded to BullGuard10. It is made by a Danish company who started June 2002. The AV engine is BitDefender and works well. It runs a little heavy when all features run at the same time hence the 150MB. It requires a pc to have 1GB RAM and works on dialup. (In saying that I only have 768MB RAM and it works fine.) The support email help is the greatest!! Especially at 3am when your pc starts acting possessed. Since 2002 the product has had some major tweaks and now is in the top AV lists. As for the bad reviews? What AV software doesn't have a few bad reviews? There are many good ones online as well. Around 10 million plus have BullGuard on there pc's.

BullGuard10 Specs: setup is for 3 pc's/1year.
Min requirements are 512RAM on dialup, but works better with 1GBRAM and broadband.
