Your BullGuard protection is transitioning to Norton

Recently, the BullGuard brand, products, and services became part of NortonLifeLock, alongside brands like Norton and Avira.

Now, BullGuard products and services are transitioning to Norton, meaning people everywhere can benefit from award-winning Norton protection.

Please note: With this change we have stopped selling BullGuard products and services, and we will no longer support BullGuard products following this transition.

Over the coming months, BullGuard customers will have the opportunity to migrate to a more robust Norton product at no additional cost.

This news makes you wonder about the future of Avira, Avast and AVG.

Is Norton Planning To Kill Free Antivirus?

NortonLifeLock is merging with Avast, which already owned AVG. Add this to Norton’s Purchase of Avira in 2020, and it looks like consolidation is running rampant. How worried should we be that the days of free antivirus are numbered?

This article is from aug 21 (old) but i don't think they will kill the free versions from avast/avira ?? ...
There is still BD free

 

[Popolitus]

all the brands will end like pctools...gone...

Every time symantec/norton buys someting it stays alive for a while, until they kill it, there is not a single one brand that had survived a norton buy....

There is still BD free

And Kaspersky (Security Cloud) free.

From that article:

Going forward, we may see the merging of antivirus code bases that I mentioned. It’s possible that the Norton name may get added to product branding. One or more of the independent brands might even disappear over time. But in the short run, I don’t expect users of Avast, AVG, Avira, or Norton to notice any significant changes.

We could have an Avast/AVG/Avira by Norton as free version with all the same code base, a kind of Norton Free.
With advertising, that if you want to improve protection, you can pay for Norton.
Only time will tell, but it is not a good sign that BullGuard stops to exist, or like @Popolitus said, went PC Tools...

My Bullguard license expires in late 2024, so maybe I will give that Norton GO thing a try.

Yes I see more and more people stick with MD. It works good and it is part of the OS. That unfortunately, killed many of the smaller antivirus companies.
