How to Use Bullguard
Bullguard is a spam filter for use with your email client that helps to protect your computer from computer viruses and other spam. It comes with both anti-virus and firewall features and is primarily intended to protect your email client. The virus definitions are automatically updated on your computer with Bullguard. The Bullguard filter will not, however, work with Web email clients such as the Web browser interface used in Yahoo! and Gmail Web mail, but it works with all other email programs.
