G DATA may not be the most well-known provider in the industry, but the German company has been around for over 30 years since it invented the first antivirus program. ‘s software has remained the same three decades later.

You want to find out the truth behind all the hype? This video will provide more information on G Data.

Security

During my evaluation, I tested two G DATA products: G DATA Antivirus & G DATA Internet Security. Both include antivirus protection. only the latter has firewall protection, parental control and a cloud backup feature. However, both products include real time system protectionwhich monitors every read and write operation on the system.

This low-level tool is very useful and can be used to access the entire system. To test the speed of detection, I downloaded a virus and received an email notification shortly after completing the download from Google Drive. The idle scan tool is an excellent addition to the real-time protection. It initiates a systemwide scan when there is no activity.

Deep Scanning With Low System Overhead

A startup and memory scanner checks for malicious programs running during system boots. A rootkit scanner scans for those that are loaded before system boot. All of these scans are also possible to be scheduled to run at predetermined times. This comprehensive list of virus scanning options offers a wide range of options.

G DATA is known for being a system performance hog. However, I didn’t find this to be true during my testing. The program used only 5.8% of my CPU while running a system scan. The program used 5.8% of my CPU while running a system scan. It was also less resource-intensive than the task manager program. As it indexes my folders, I didn’t notice any lag.

Solid Independent Lab Ratings

Four rating agencies have given high ratings in terms of independent test scores. G DATA was rated favorably because of its low false positive detection rate and its malware-crushing capabilities .

Features

G DATA Internet Security has many additional features that make it a complete solution to protect you from online threats. The parental control tool does a great job of locking down certain websites and URLs.

The autostart manger is an interesting addition that lets you take more control over which programs start and when (you can add programs in an “autostart without delay” list, which I haven’t seen anywhere else). It also comes with a keylogger protection program, which is essential for cybersecurity. It was possible to set the protection to run on different programs than many other programs that I tested. This is useful in the event of a program that needs to capture your keyboard input. This program could be added to the exception list.

The firewall utility gives you complete control of inbound and outbound firewall settings. However, the BankGuard utility adds additional protection to your browser when you access online banking websites.

I was especially impressed that the program could pick up on my weak WiFi password which I used to connect via a public hotspot. This feature allows you to read WiFi passphrases and prompts the user to change if they are not secure. A strong password is crucial for security-conscious home-owners.

Ease of use

It was simple to download, install, and use G DATA Antivirus & Internet Security. Although the program has many features, they are easily nested within advanced menus. Although upgrading from Antivirus to Internet Security required reinstalling, was able to get to grips with all the new features quickly because they share the same user interface.

Support

G DATA provides an online assistance center in the form a Q&A page, a ticketing system to receive personal assistance from an expert and an international phone number. Although the knowledge base contains a few resources, it isn’t the most complete I have seen. I would like to have seen more international numbers, pre-sales support tools and live chat. The support I received was prompt and courteous. Within an hour, I received an email response from support via ticket that addressed my query about parental control.

Pricing

Prices for Internet Security and Antivirus are tiedred according to the protection period. This is sufficient to provide security for many families. It is a strong value for money. It is also very affordable to purchase a single device plan.
