Today I will present BullGuard Internet Security 9.0, one of the best security suites available online. The range of features offered by BullGuard Internet Security is unmatched in the end-user market offerings because basically you are protected by many security technologies at the price of one

The security threats landscape has changed dramatically over the last few years and anti-virus alone is not enough anymore to guarantee a safe computing environment. More and more, anti-virus vendors have expanded the defensive products by including anti-spyware and firewalls.


BullGuard Internet Security offers an integrated suite of best-of-breed internet security features which protect your computer and your data against viruses, hackers, phishing attacks, identity theft and many more. These are the active modules in BullGuard Internet Security Suite 9 : BullGuard Internet Security 9.05

  • Antivirus

  • Anti Spyware

  • Firewall

  • Anti-Spam

  • Online Backup

  • Instant messaging protections


All modules can be very easily managed trough a central management screen which allows one-click activation and editing.


AntiVirus

BullGuard Internet Security 9.0
The antivirus screen offers direct access to specific AV settings and you can quickly check the notifications, the quarantine and the AV logs. A good feature is the one-click activation/ deactivation of the real time AV monitoring which can come in handy if you want to access a resource which might be detected as malware. BullGuard Internet Security 9.0 is very flexible in terms of AV protection by allowing the user to decide the desired protection profile. This feature prevents the unwanted situations when security gets in the way of productivity and it's more of a hassle then a help. Both scheduled scans and on-demand scans can be started very easily from the AV panel presented on the right.

Firewall
BullGuard Internet Security 9.0
Firewalls have become a crucial component of today's security solutions because the Internet is a constant source of malicious actions such as :port scans, remote vulnerability exploits, data theft trough unprotected shares, protocol abuse, etc. BullGuard Internet Security 9.0 includes a built-in firewall which addresses all of these threats by blocking unwanted traffic before it reaches your applications and processes. The firewall allows white-listening the applications and processes which are trusted and which will not be blocked and, in time, this firewall will learn the correct usage patterns and will not bother you with explicit approval requests for legitimate applications.

Spam Filter
BullGuard Internet Security 9.0
Most of today's email communication consists of unwanted commercial emails, rather known as SPAM. These messages are a plague because they eat up resources and sometimes they prevent legitimate email messages from getting to the destinations. Many spam emails are also a vector for further computer malware distribution and you could get infected with a nasty trojan or virus just by opening and clicking an link in a spam message. BullGuard Internet Security 9.0 offers you a built-in anti-spam filter which prevents unwanted spam to reach your Inbox. The anti-spam filter is fully customisable allowing you to define safe contacts which will always be allowed to send you emails, thus reducing the rate of false-positives dramatically. In order to benefit of the Spam Filter protection, you must define the email applications which you frequently use and BullGuard Internet Security 9.0 will protect them against spam.

Online Backup
BullGuard Internet Security 9.0
In today's world, the most important asset we possess is the information we can reach but this represents a big vulnerability if the physical support of information (the files) is subject to theft, destruction,
losing, etc. BullGuard Internet Security 9.0 offers an unique feature for protecting your data : Online Backup. Registred versions of BullGuard Internet Security offer up to 5GB of storage which is more than enough to store your important documents, pictures and music. Accessing the online backup is extremely easy : either from the command &control panel on the right, or directly trough integrated disk drive mounted in Windows as a new drive letter. Once this is done, you can copy / paste files just like you would do with a
locally attached disk drive.

Conclusions
BullGuard Internet Security 9.0 offers best value for the money as it packs an impressive array of tools under it's bonnet. It is a modern product adapted to the threats of our time which can not be addressed by an antivirus alone. Today, we need to prioritize the protection of our data and the integrated Anti-Malware, Firewall, Anti-Spam and Online Backup work together to achieve this every second.
