Keeping your BullGuard Gamers' Edition up-to-date
New viruses are found and identified every day. This is why it is very important to keep BullGuard Gamers' Edition up-to-date with the latest virus definitions.
If you are connected to the Internet through broadband or DSL, BullGuard Gamers' Edition takes care of this itself: it checks for new definitions when you turn on your computer and every 8 hours after that (by default). If any new virus definitions are available, BullGuard Gamers' Edition will update itself.
If you are connected to the Internet through a dial-up connection, BullGuard Gamers' Edition will check for updates immediately after you connect to the Internet.
If you want to manually check for updates or change the way BullGuard Gamers' Edition updates, please read the guide below.
