Hello,
To anyone interested!
I bought a Medion laptop at Aldi, which comes pre-installed with, among other things, Vista, BullGuard (3-month trial), and two programs related to Aldi and Medion. Vista, Medion, and Aldi don't bother me. It's BullGuard that's the problem.
To ensure the success of all the basic installations I wanted on my PC, I purchased BullGuard antivirus online for a year. It works perfectly but significantly slows down the boot time of the PC. Moreover, it cost me 69.95 euros, and it's due again next October!! Since there are free antivirus programs available online, I would like to download one, but I first need to completely uninstall BullGuard, which is strongly (!!) discouraged in the manual. Furthermore, I'm warned about potential malfunctions and conflicts with other imported antivirus programs. BullGuard thus hooks its users!
My question is simple. Can I safely uninstall BullGuard permanently and how should I proceed? Thank you for your response.

Hello,
Yes, I think you can uninstall this antivirus without any risk. To do this, close the antivirus from the taskbar, then go to the Windows control panel and then to "Add/Remove Programs," select the antivirus, and start the uninstallation.
As for free antivirus programs, there are many. Personally, I use Avira AntiVir and I recommend it; it is really effective against viruses, trojans, and rootkits.
