Try adjusting the firewall settings to alert you less often. See the link below for details.
Bullguard is an Internet Security Suite (not an anti-virus). And as a "suite" it includes a firewall, which is what is causing the notifications.
Being that it is stopping these "attacks" at the network level, of course nothing would show-up in your virus scans. Most likely port scans which everybody gets.
You will need to change the firewall settings in Bullguard to "don’t alert on intrusions" or something very similar to that.
Good luck.
Get rid of Bullguard and download panda cloud free antivirus. Problem solved. It will Increase Performance too. Just to be sure download malwarebytes and scan.
Maybe Bullguard missed something…possibly a rogue.
To be on the safe side, I recommend you download this: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/eXplorer.exe this will stop any Malicious activity from attacking your computer. Also, download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and run a full-system scan and remove any infections found.
