G DATA 2009 RC2

[Blue Sea]

Hi everybody.

I have installed GDATA TotalCare 2009, German version. But I have found some problems which are:

1. Firewall doesn't work at all although it is installed.


2. Tuner icon doesn't work.

Do you have any solution for this problem?

When will the English version be released?

[Sjoeii]

This is probably the best place to ask.

Hmm

I'm a reseller & received a spam emailshot about this product. I just assumed that it was a rogue AV & blacklisted the domain.

Is it actually a real product?

[lodore]

of course its a real product.
offical home page (http://www.gdata.de/portal/GB)

[vijayind]

Still no ENG version ???
I am guessing they will release German version and then have a small scale beta for other languages.

[rayoflight]

RC2 ?This is a final version
http://www.gdata.de/portal/DE/security

[Blue Sea]

I think it is still RC2, isn't it?

I was told by a rep from GData that english versions will be out officially in October, no exact day specified.

I was joking as I of course checked before my posting. However it's an interesting marketing move to spam resellers don't you think?

Thanks, Macstorm. Hope its an international release and not region specific...

I have just installed the UK version supplied by gGata's UK distributor, which I received on 30 October 2009 and it was successfully installed.

I could not use my recently purchased Gdata TotalCare 2008 on a desktop which was previously using Gdata Internet Security 2007 due to GUI errors, but after using the Gdata removal download, the installation of the 2009 version went without a hitch.

I installed the TotalCare 2008 version on a new desktop without any problems.

The UK distributor has been superb with his help in trying to resolve my previous problems and I was notified by Matt Baker at Infinite Business the day the 2009 version had arrived in the UK which I successfully downloaded.

I hope that this is of help.

[Macstorm]

Glad to hear that Jerome, the official 2009 english versions are not available publicly from their websites yet.
I have a new subscription for the AV and waiting for its release.

[Sjoeii]

German version is official. The English version was stuck at RC2. Needs some translation .

Hi Matt,
Could you answer a question for me with regard to the license model of G-Data.
We run servers with multiple OS/Virtualization, now would I require a single license for the hardware or multiple license for each environment ?

Thanks.:thumb:

[UIS]

Hi Vijayind

With G DATA you would only need licences for the hardware - Also of interest, there is no seperate "server" licence it's included in the overall machine numbers.

The mail security products are per machine and NOT per mailbox - which is also a saving oversome of the competition !

If you would like a free trial on any of the business products - Please mail me.

Thanks

[emperordarius]

Does G-DATA 2009 include Behaviour blocking/HIPS functions?

[UIS]

Hi

Yes, the 2009 products do have behaviour blocking functions.

Kind regards

IIRC this has been debated before... Kaspersky only license ancient outdated versions of their engine to third-party vendors.

Thanks, Matt.
I will submit a proposal to evaluate GData at work. Since I am not in UK, I think I'll have to contact GData Global or my local GData partner for evaluation and price quotation.

Thanks again, for your response. Really appreciated :thumb:

I haven't had a chance to install the trial yet. Anyone know if the 2009 trial provides updates to the virus defs? IIRC, previous versions would not update.

how is the resourses usage this time? and what two engines are used in the final?

[NAMOR]

-{ Quote: "how is the resourses usage this time? and what two engines are used in the final?" }-

I haven't had much time to play around G Data IS 2009. So far, I can say that it feels pretty light on my HP vista laptop. Much much better than the 2008 version. Vista boot time and opening of applications is quick. Web browsing with IE7 is fine but, Opera is a little sluggish with the HTTP scanner enabled. Full system scan on a newly installed OS took ~40 min (default settings).

where is comparision table?

what is different TC/IS/AV?

-{ Quote: "where is comparision table?

AV: Home Antivirus
IS: Home Internet Security
TC: Home Total Care

Overview can be found here:

I never have realy trailed GDATA because with the trail there is no option to update the definitions so when trailing you are not up-to-date protected. Is this still the case? Maybe Matt (UIS) can say something about this.

[RejZoR]

Nice and clean interface i must say.

You download the trial and register it (firstname, last name, and email) through the update option in the program. Then you have 30 days of virus def updates.

[Farmand]

Hey.. does any one knows, how much RAM this G DATA InternetSecurity 2009 uses when running..?

I have just download it, and its ~260mb for the .exe file. Its like 8x more than other Internet Security Suites..

Thanks

[CubonesCastle]

Thanks for the link, but i installed it and every 15-20 mins my Computer Crashes, i have been trying to locate the cause but havent been able to find it, my computer is far above the recomended Specifications, if anyone has any ideas, i would be glad to hear them.

[Macstorm]

3DFireStarter,

By looking at your sig you are running too many security apps on your pc :o , most likely one or more of them is conflicting with the GData product that you installed. And if youre trying the IS, it just would make things worse. Assuming you uninstalled KIS correctly first before installing GData, i'd point my fingers on ShadowDefender, Sybot S&D (disable the TeaTimer add-on), WWDC (windowswormsdoorcleaner, is it? ???) , BugOff, Harden-IT and/or Secure-IT, one of them as the 'conflicting' app but i honestly don't know which one could be causing your issue. You may want to uninstall them, one at time, to find out which one is it. Otherwise, I'd stick with your current superb setup.

[CubonesCastle]

Thanks for your reply Mac

I did try disabling and uninstalling all of what i used at the moment to run G DATA on its own but i still had the problem, no idea why. anyway ile stick with what i have, i only installd G DATA for interest anyway :D

[Medank]

which engine does the final version of GData 2009 use?

[Macstorm]

GData 2009 uses both the Avast! & BitDefender engines for all of their Home user products :)

[markcc]

Does the firewall have a HIPS function?

[maymoons]

firewall doesnt hips
but their behavior protection is very good. i tested myself

how can i submit malware samples to Gdata?

even if it is the best i would never use it, I don't use and i probably never will use a antivirus with 2 engine.
for me kav, eset, avira is just fine, i'm not saying that Gdata is bad, it's maybe better then every AV but naa thanks no.

If you've placed a file in quarantine, there is a button at the bottom of the "Quarantine" screen you can use to send it to the G DATA research lab.

As for the G DATA 2009 version: it's really a great product. I've been using G DATA for quite a while and this 2009 version is by far the best product they have ever released. Full security & full speed... what more do you need?

[D3VIL_3AT3R]

Any news when is the final release coming.

[Cooper_it]

The links in #29 are final version!

[ysco]

Hello and thanks for posting the final versions off gdata 2009 :D

I have installed the security suite but if i wanna buy and go to the link that gdata provide for buying then i get the screen off the 2008 version.
Can i use the code then to register the 2009 version that i downloaded here ?
This is final you say but how come that only german website still only provide 2009 for download and not the Netherlands or England.

Well thanks again.

Greats ysco..

[UIS]

Dear Ysco,

The official launch date for 2009 version in the UK is 27th October, this is due to major improvements in the UK website rather than the software not being ready. There is nothing to stop you purchasing the 2008 codes and using the links above to download the 2009 product.

i hope that helps.

Thanks matt for the info.
Will purchase it then when the trial period is over cause i have 3 weeks left before trial version is over ;)


Greats ysco..

[D3VIL_3AT3R]

One thing is for sure. This uses extremely too much memory. About 300MB thats way more than any other antivirus.

I guess its cause of the 2 engines.

It "only" uses like 160MB here.. And I have the Internet Security 2009 installed.. But way too much if you ask me..

Anyone knows why it uses that much.?

Thanks

[UIS]

Hi

I think it's due to the bootscan CD software that comes with the program, it's about 100mb

[D3VIL_3AT3R]

I was doing a scan, maybe cause of that. But 160 mb is too much.

[markcc]

I'm using the Internet Security 2009 now & it does use quite a bit of memory, however it does not slow my system down. Memory usage is not a main concern of mine so long as the system runs well

160MB is a joke. NIS2009 is using 7 to 10 MB on my machine.

Didn't GDATA use the Kaspersky engine at one point. What happened ? Kaspersky ejected them because their meager German markets were getting cannibalized ?

Well, if you look at the full report of the latest av-comparatives (which includes summary results for both AVK 2008 and 2009), you'll see that the engine change (Kaspersky --> BD) resulted in detection improvement... so maybe it wasn't Kaspersky who "ejected" them, but rather vice versa? ;D

Care to substantiate.. look at Clementi's test http://www.av-comparatives.org/.

Number of False Positives = "many". So yeah, anyone can improve their detection to 99.x% with many false positives. If GData was serious about their customers, they would reduce their FPs.

Personally, i had only one FP (which was quickly fixed, btw) when i had GDAV2008 installed on my system for months.
That's what counts for me :thumb:

-{ Quote: "For those that may be concerned, the FPs mentioned in the av-comparatives report will have been fixed before it was published." }-

Thats good, but customers would have seen those and thats what counts. And I'm sure the next time Clementi does a test, there will be "many" FPs with GDATA. The bottom line is that its FP-prone and thats what kills it for me (besides 50 other reasons but lets not go there).

[Zombini]

-{ Quote: "Personally, i had only one FP (which was quickly fixed, btw) when i had GDAV2008 installed on my system for months.

I have never seen an FP in the last 8 years since I started using NIS/NAV. And I'm sure that goes for most NIS/NAV/SAV customers. And when you compare the size of the customer bases of Symantec vs. GDATA, then you get a feel for how accurate Symantec AV engines are when it comes to FPs.

[D3VIL_3AT3R]

The FPs have been reduced in the 09 version, and that is quite clear from the remove-malware review.

Again, topic: G Data 2009
No wonder why you don't see any FP with your product ::)
Well, stick with what you like best and good luck..
As for me, i would never never use such a poor AV program (in terms of new malware detection) that it's not even worth considering IMHO.

[D3VIL_3AT3R]

The AV-comparitives had reviewd Gdata 2008, so thats why the false positives were a lot.

They have been reduced in this latest version.

So the product which is used by most people is by definition the best product? Yeah, right. Ever heard of marketing spendings?

By the way: in German retail G DATA is bigger than Symantec...
