Looks like they will stop developing bullguard versions this year.The 2022 versions have a comparison with norton products on the description page.They found a polite way of saying don't buy bullguard, buy norton.

Pressure from ms defender. More number of installations helps in collecting data, be it paying customer or freeloader.

There no pressure whasoever from MS Defender, most AV companies are making money from the Enterprise, not Home Users, and Defender Market Share in Endpoint is less than 5%.

what a mess ....they promote a very blurry image of bullguard and the best value product which is NORTON . good luck with your brand new owners bullguard
ps; norton will destroy bg as it did with PCTOOLS

It was a good program.
I had it installed on my desktop computer (it had a long trial period which suited me).

I’m curious where this 5% number comes from (though not saying it’s wrong). I know of multiple large entities that use Defender enterprise, including in the US Government.

Interesting. Seems comparatively MS has a fair piece of the market.

I would guess that Microsoft is much higher now in 2022.

I loved the pc tools. I've used spyware doctor and thereatfire for years. This is why I don't like norton.
I have a bullguard membership until 2028 with the keys I bought from a campaign last year.
What will norton offer to the members?

"What will norton offer to the members?"

In my opinion as with the PC-Tools story => Forcefully migrate to Norton products...

Norton only buys the small AV companies or the ones not doing well.
The big ones like, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Trend Micro will never join them
