>BullGuard has joined Avira
Wait what?

>as part of NortonLifeLock
WAIT WHAT

It's simple: Avira acquired Bullguard (see: POELLATH advises Avira on acquisition of BullGuard | POELLATH) and then Norton acquired Avira (with Bullguard) (1-2 weeks later).

"This from BullGuard UK website:

"In 2021, BullGuard became part of NortonLifeLock, alongside leading brands like Norton and Avira.
Now, the BullGuard brand is transitioning to Norton which means people everywhere can benefit from award-winning protection like Norton™ 360 Deluxe.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR UK CUSTOMERS:
With this change, we will stop selling BullGuard products on March 31, 2022. Current BullGuard customers with an active subscription will continue to receive protection and service through the end of their existing subscription."

Bullguard was never a top product.
Better remove it from the AV market.
Used it once and it was really horrible.

That's right. But it also wasn't the worst compared to others. As I mentioned before I used it a few years ago and it didn't disappoint me then. I don't know how currently effective his is.

I've been using BullGuard for a while, I've always loved it.
Things have changed with Avira, because it doesn't have HEUR/APC as a resident, you have to run it to get it to react...
