What Is BullGuard Premium Protection 2021 Edition?
BullGuard Premium Protection 2021 Edition is an enhanced security and privacy tool designed to keep users’ devices and data safe, irrespective of their online or offline activities. The security suite also includes an improved Game Booster feature, ensuring that users enjoy uninterrupted gaming sessions while keeping Gaming devices and data safe and protected.
For the 2021 edition, we see BullGuard introducing enhanced features for its antivirus engine, firewall, parental control, secure browser, and more to make it a next-generation security software. For users staying connected via Wi-Fi networks, it’s an opportunity to enjoy privacy and security protection while connected to unsecured Wi-Fi networks.Â
BullGuard Premium Protection 2021 Edition Features
User Interface
BullGuard has one of the most intuitive User interfaces with easily navigable features, making it suitable for tech-inclined and less tech-savvy users. Although users would have to get familiar with the Interface to find their way around pretty easily, it does feature a drop-down menu from which users can access every one of BullGuard’s features within a click away.
Antivirus Engine with Dynamic machine learning and multi-layered protection
Testing BullGuard’s antivirus engine against new and existing threats, its Dynamic Machine learning features keep it ahead of the pack in protecting users’ devices. We see BullGuard scoring high in its performance as an antivirus engine in all AV lab tests. Its high-performance features can be attributed to its Dynamic Machine Learning capabilities. This enables its AV engine to continually monitor users’ devices in real-time, enabling it to detect potential threats before they can harm users’ devices.Â
Aside from Dynamic Learning Capabilities, the signature-based BullGuard AV engine protects users’ devices against threats, even without running a full system scan or requiring updates to its virus signatures. When connected to the internet, BullGuard’s cloud detection can identify new threats in real-time, eliminating the need to manually update its antivirus engine.
Game BoosterÂ
Its Game Booster is my favourite BullGuard feature. When playing games like PUBG, Minecraft, or Starcraft 2, BullGuard’s Game Booster prevented pop-ups and other game interrupters while still keeping my device protected. For this enhanced Game Booster feature, I give BullGuard a thumbs up as an antivirus for gamers. The new Game Booster features include an anti-cheat engine and broadcasting support, which makes gaming time something I look forward to.Â
Built-in Browser
Most users have cause to worry about their browsers’ security. With BullGuard’s built-in browser, users no longer have to worry about browser security. Its custom-built browser establishes a secure connection to protect users’ information and protect them from web-based attacks. Test-running the browser, it requested permissions to load cookies and browser extensions. This implies that users would not have to worry about third-party cookie trackers and malicious websites anymore since the browser can screen them out effectively.Â
Firewall ProtectionÂ
BullGuard’s Firewall protection features a range of unique protective capabilities beyond its inbound and outbound traffic monitoring functionality. Its firewall monitors and protects all ports, blocks unauthorized connectivity attempts, keeps track of security updates, and protects the device during downloads, among other functions. I also find this feature quite impressive for its minimal resource usage, which does not interfere with other running applications.
Parental ControlsÂ
This feature is ideal for users who want to monitor and protect their kids online. Playing around with this feature, I can set search filters to prevent access to censored web content, limit screen time, block websites and apps not suitable for children’s use, monitor kids’ location, and a host of other features designed to ensure children’s safety.
Vulnerability Scanner
Downloading is part of everyday internet life. There is a need to download various media files, applications, drivers, and other files. BullGuard’s vulnerability scanner automatically scans downloads to verify their sources. As expected, its vulnerability scanner lived up to its expectation of keeping my device safe from malicious downloads. Additionally, I receive alerts for security issues that require updates.Â
