Let H be a complex Hilbert space and let B(H) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. In this paper we give two necessary and sufficient conditions for an additive bijection of B(H) to be a *-automorphism. Both of the results in the paper are related to the so-called preserver problems.
