Beware of BullGuard AntiVirus!!
It installs a trojan before you install it and when uninstalling it!
If i remember well its from Bulldog Software.
Also beware of WinAntiVirus Pro which displays fake alerts in order to make you buy it. WinANtiVirus Pro also infects your pc. (Proof = search it on google and click on the website but do it only on google!)
Bullguard is perfectly safe to use and doesn’t install any malware.
I have two Antiviruses installed. AVG detects it and avast! doesn’t. I’ll upload some images later
Better to compare it on a multi engine scanner.
You could also check the offending/suspect file at: VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner
Or Jotti - Multi engine on-line virus scanner if any other scanners here detect them it is less likely to be a false positive. You can’t do this with the file in the chest, you will need to move it out.
When you scan the .exe before installing no virus is detected. It is detected in the installation or uninstallation.
Video I recorded to show to you:

Picture:
Probably just an unencrypted virus definition: a fragment of virus code not harmful in itself. Bullguard is perfectly respectable, as RejZoR said.
If you say so
If you check this google search you will see AVG is spanking a lot of different program installations using the InstallOptions.dll with this lineage.pq trojan alert. I doubt they can all be infected
ok.
so this means BullGuard is safe?
thanks
It certainly looks that way but if you have a copy of the InstallOptions.dll file I would confirm using VirusTotal and Jotti.
As far we know… yes.
But that doesn’t mean that is the best antivirus round 8)
It’s using BitDefender scan engine so it’s certanly among the best ones…
I don’t think so… I mean, I disagree it’s among the best ones. Not only the engine makes an antivirus.
Detection rates, response time, support… well, BullGuard is not that far on these points, at least, not the best ones.
