It appears they require you to register to the uNet network first (I don't know what for).

I'm confused. There is an ad (?) in german that reads:

Here is the greatest antivirus software ever. Is only 300 GB per month and costs only 10,000 euros per computer.
This software detects everything and makes the PC more secure than what it actually is.

...which redirects to the german Computerguard website. Any connection between them? Explanations welcomed

Not really, at least you can't download GSA Security from Computerguard.de.
However, first the original GSA Security site disappeared and shortly afterwards the site came up again with this very strange text and the link to computerguard.de.
But I talked with the forum owner and he has no clue what's going on and why they link to his forums.
Maybe some sort of hijacking or joke, who knows.

That's the most hilarious thing I've heard today . Computerguard should be fixing this ASAP.

Thanks for the clarification Subset

Why? They have no intention whatsoever to sell GSA Security for € 10,000.
