there was one short test in the last 4 weeks....terrible detection....1/18.
their behavior blocker aka Sentry is sleeping. They must hard work to improve the av.
just depending on bitdefender signatures and cloud is no big deal for protection.

Did they fix the aged looking, atrocious GUI? At least a nice new GUI for the modern age would impress.

The product is very light and stable. They should drop Bitdefender and go for sth else.

Bullguard with Eset signatures would be great

Does eset offer engine licensing? Avira would also be a good choice.

I have been test the 2020 BIS and I really like it. It's light no browsing slowdowns nor startup delay. The new secure browser is great. No bloatware and a good privacy policy. I hope if someone got a deal on bullguard to let me know.

BullGuard has a long and very cordial relation with BitDefender, the engine will not change anytime soon.

The company is trying to develop it's own engines and behavioural protections since about a couple of years. I do believe they'll get better in a year or two.

Do not worry I am not turning into a touchy fanboy . I know that Bullguard needs much work and I hope it gets better in newer versions.

Bullguard Internet Security 2020 updated to 20.0.374.1
Release notes are usually delayed for a few days.

Edit.
I have reported an issue regrading updates notifications, so I guess this update addressed the issue.

bullguard is not a reliable antivirus especially concerning ransomware

 

[I3rYcE]

Bullguard is a comfortable security company. Thus:
- custom development is almost nothing
- Bitdefender SDK engine helps a lot to detect malwares
- you can get free 1 year license almost every year
- Internet Security and VPN are cost is €119.98
- it is an average product
- behavior blocker is not the best

Bullguard Internet Security updated to 20.0.374.2 and still there are no release notes on their website. It seems that Bullguard only share release notes for major updates.

They (along with other companies) also do not list all the changes they made with each release. They list only the "important" changes.
