See Midnight's post above:
You're right, Kendall. I'm sorry. :-)

Yes, fully 64 bit compatible. Just make sure you download the right version. My own system is x64 Vista Ultimate and it's running fine.

People reading my other stuff will see cautionary notes against all so called "reviews". What I've done is to compile a selection of information about Bullguard from various sources to remove the need to Google for it, and from that folks must make up their own minds about what they think to it.

What do I do?
The free license offer is only valid between the dates and times given on the notice. If you've previously trialled Bullguard then you'll most likely need to set up another account in order to obtain a free license.

Question So Many Software Opportunities

I am confused and overwhelmed. I am currently running Zone Alarm Pro AV and A-Squared anti Mal-Ware. Both registered and doing well. How can I tell if I should Load Bullguard use it instead?

Sites that are really just a scam shouldn't even be mentioned surely? IMHO there's a difference between opinion and just wrong information.

To be honest I wouldn't. If what you have is performing well then I would stick with it.

I still think we should give our visitors more credit for their ability to use the information presented on the site. After all, we still link to Giveaway of the Day which many people regard as pedlar's of scamware. Microsoft has been accused of this over some of their Linux data, and now hints about "manipulation" at Matousec since they were bought out by a commercial group.
Personally, I read it all, take from it what I can, and then try to make a balanced judgment. I'm sure other people will do the same.
