Weird how everyone else seems to think the opposite including Bullguard

Still, no time to hang about - moving on to the next one now. Should have something interesting again for everyone in December - maybe you'll like this one

I'm confused. What sharade/charade? And who's charade? Midnight's or TSA's? I'm assuming that your comment "So far you are doing a great job" was meant as sarcastic? If so, I don't understand the sarcasm.

The Bullguard offer is a legitimate and genuine offer. Some of us appreciate the work that went into getting it for our readers.

I am staying with what I have for the next 337 days, i.e. Vipre+Comodo(only firewall, no D+)+Sandboxie (when needed). Charade you say? I knew it. Those Americans, always changing foreign words as to appear to be in English. Oh well!
And yes, you are right, I have tried pretty much everything by now.

Question 60 Day License With BullGuard

I d'loaded and installed Bulldog on Thursday the 5th. Everything seems to run fine, it appears to be light on resources. Today I defragged and restarted, then got a splash page saying I had 58 days left, with the option to purchase.

I searched the forum to see if anyone else had this issue.

I followed the instructions, cookies are enabled, and it was done on the 5th. So...What gives?

All you have to do is go to the program and click on live chat. Chat with a support person and they should fix you right up. (See my post above.)

Default 60 Day License With BullGuard

I posted earlier about the license. Since then I got on to Live Chat with Dragos, checked the Status, BullGuard is enabled, but...It now says I have 423 days left! I was pretty good in school, but 423 days left is a bit off from a year license.

Learned yesterday that McAfee have been emailing failed Bullguard applicants and offering a similar deal for their own suite. Can't say exactly what it is because the page that opened from the emailed link I was given was in Portuguese but it clearly stated "to those who missed out on the Bullguard offer at Gizmo's" or words to that effect.

So, not only are we even more famous now but it begs the question how did they get the email addresses? Maybe there's some sort of shared marketing cum affiliate pool of this stuff floating around, details of which were no doubt displayed in the various EULA's if anyone bothered to read them

Firstly I would like to say that I don't post very often as can be seen but I visit this site almost daily. I find it extremely informative.

Secondly I want to thank all those involved in this promotion. I was running on-line armour (full version from recent giveaway), A2 (again from your promitions) and Avira free. All were running well together but after reading about Bullguard I thought I would give that a try. I found that the installation and registration went well with no problems. After restart I noticed by PC was actually running quicker than before and pop up's are low. I have not had to use live support but from other posts it looks to be well done. Since installation I have had no problems with the software and in fact really enjoy its ease of operation with limited prompts, unlike A2 (only complaint I have with that product). Looking forward to the next offer.

Lastly please do not take any notice of the vocal minority who seem to post continually about their complaints along with completely unintelligible comments. I know from your replies you don't let it get to you and I actually admire your restraint and decency. Take it from a member of the the 'silent' majority, we appreciate and respect your efforts. Thank you.

A satisfied forum member and bullguard fan.
