Resolved after posting on here but took over a month. I tried to take advantage of an offer for paying early for increased protection to discover they have taken payments twice for one subscription... See more

The programme is fine BUT

The programme is fine. But it was impossible to renew it. I wanted to pay with Visa card. But it was unsuccesful. I received a mail without any instructions about what toi do.

Horrible customer service

Horrible customer service, very slow and will stop responding if you ask certain questions about data.
Getting them to delete your account requires you to fill in a physical form with your home address.
Do NOT even create an account, there are so much better alternatives and they don't make you run through hoops to stop them exploiting your information.

I sent two emails to support and no one is being helpful, the 24/7 chat is not available. This is first time l am using BullGullard and so far my experience has been terrible. I use Bitdefender before and big different in response time and addressing issues.
I am going to rethink about staying with BullGuard l might just start looking for another anti virus company or go back to Bitdefender.

been using free trial for about 1/3 of the year now. Only got it cause it was free with my laptop. However protection has been next to none. Had one issue with it blocking something I didn't want blocked. Messaged customer service.

Some legend called Larissa solved it in 5 mins with a step by step guide.

Will be buying upon expiration.

problem installing a new licence

I bought a new laptop and a new licence to install bullguard as I already had 3 devices covered by another licence I couldn't get it to install, spoke to Vlad on Friday night but he didn't explain that I would only extend the protection I already had. spoke with Dafi on Saturday who explained that because 3 devices were already under my e-mail address that was why I had a problem and advised to install the licence under my wife's e-mail address and that solved the problem

I had a problem in so far as I lost my account details and activation. I went to online chat with a young lady called Georgina whom I found to be most helpful and efficient. End result all up and running again very quickly so another very satisfied customer. Thank you Georgina

Please be assured that such issues are given immediate attention by BullGuard. If we are satisfied that the software has been incorrectly blocked, it will be added to the BullGuard whitelist as a matter of urgency.

BullGuard Antivirus features five different methods of threat detection, including detection based on the behaviour, as well as detection of particular ‘signatures’ within the software on access and on demand, cloud scanning and machine learning.

Unfortunately, there are rare occasions on which BullGuard Antivirus blocks or suspends a legitimate file. As a matter of public interest, and to ensure that we are providing the best possible service to our customers, BullGuard must act on the results of its threat detection, even though this will unfortunately and inevitably lead to legitimate files being caught.

When notified of the detection of potential malware by BullGuard Antivirus, customers are usually given the option to 'Report as false positive' the suspicious file. As mentioned above, BullGuard will take prompt action to remedy such situations so as to keep ill-effects caused to a minimum.

A BullGuard support agent will guide you with all the necessary steps to allow the program to run.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that might have resulted.

Regarding early discounted renewal…

Regarding early discounted renewal reminders, I asked for an explanation, as we have six months to run on the existing subscription.
Despite being warned of a delay, the waiting time was very short and my questions were answered by Dafi very quickly and satisfactorily.
Thank you.
