Anybody have any experience with Bull Guard anti-virus and firewall program? A 90 day trial came free with my new motherboard and just wanted to see if any of you have heard/used it and your opinions.

Hello,

I never heard of it but, going off of what 'chrishirst' said I don't think I want to try it.

Sure most decent AVs can run "pre windows" if needed and remove files before they are "in use".

probably but you would be better using a far superior AV product without all the crap that Nortons comes along with.

On download.com web site you can read reviews on existing ones and see what is the difference. You are looking to protect your PC not for testing unknown antivirus
Good luck

top three reliable AVs to look into? I am willing to pay for a good program, but a free trial to test them out first wont hurt either
