It is also testament to the strength of BullGuard's leading layered protection which provides triple layers of defence including powerful malware detection capabilities, a class-leading firewall and an enhanced vulnerability scanner that among other things alerts users to network access points that hackers like to exploit.

AV-Comparatives is an independent testing lab that rigorously assesses security software products. It ran a number of tests on BullGuard Internet Security during 2017.

The tests checked for how well BullGuard detected known malware and also the effectiveness of its behavioural detection engine which identifies and blocks newly released and as yet unrecognised malware such as ransomware.

Following these tests, AV-Comparatives awarded BullGuard Advanced + protection status for its consistently effective results in detecting and blocking all types of malware. These persistently positive results during 2017 led to BullGuard being awarded the best-in-class Gold Malware Protection Award. BullGuard was one of only two companies to win this coveted award.

Ongoing innovation 

In the fight against cyber-crime, BullGuard never stands still. The introduction of new innovations to BullGuard Internet Security ensures customers have the best defences possible against all types of malware and cyber-attacks.

A next gen anti-malware engine provides triple layers of defence. It recognises trusted websites and applications, it continually scans code for anomalies associated with malware and when malware is detected, it is locked down in quarantine and neutralized before infection can take place.

A new firewall provides added layers of protection. Optimised for popular operating systems, it tracks security updates, uses less CPU power so other applications run smoothly, and incorporates enhanced features such as application filtering to protect users against applications that may be hiding malware. It also blocks unauthorised attempts to connect a device to the Internet.

A new vulnerability scanner alerts users to network access points hackers like to exploit. It also stops applications that could contain malware from downloading automatically, checks for missing security updates and Window's operating system updates and automatically carries out a number of network checks to ensure users are always protected.
