    Is anybody else having a problem with 'virus monitor' appearing as 'disabled' but it's actually ENABLED.

    The only way you can turn it ON/OFF is by clicking the 'disabled' then 'enhanced' option.

    I know it's a minor bug/glitch but it's super annoying for an OCD person like me.

    Strange...

    Try to start the program update manually by clicking the "update" button.
    A lot of components should be modified -perhaps this will fix your problem.
    If you won´t receive an update, you should post your product id as I mentioned in one of my last postings (#223).

    Have you heard of any problems with GData A/V 2010 & Outpost firewall. For some reason the tray.exe would shut down after a period of time & the computer would run slow. A reboot would fix the problem. It seems that if you click on the tray icon a few times it would shut down. Once I uninstalled Outpost everything returns to normal.

    Hi markcc,

    I don´t have heard about that.

    Which outpost version are you running?

    Is GDATA 2010 AV compatable with W7 (x86)?

    Cheers.

    Not sure if you're using the current Gdata version but there is a beta download available on their website specifically for W7.

    Here's the link:-

    My GData is the most current version, it updated a few days ago. I'm not at that computer right now so I can't give you the number. I will follow up with it if you like.

    Ford,

    I purchased a 3 PC license from the international GData website. I got it installed. Problem like others in this thread is that I keep getting the "Do you want to transfer to this computer" messages on the second computer. If I do accept, it disables the update on the first computer. I read you can transfer 10 times but I don't want to do that every time I want to update. I could not find a resolution earlier in the thread anywhere, so I am asking here. I have entered my login at both computers. Any ideas?

    Does anyone happen to know if there is a listing of products that are incompatible with the 2010 GDATA line? I tried to install GDATA's Internet Security a couple of weeks ago. It informed me that I would have to remove Prevx 3 and SpywareBlaster in order to continue installation. A little forehand knowledge would be good.

    I have Internet Security 2010 and Prevx 3.0 installed together on my laptop right now with no problems. I loaded GData first then Prevx. Work together flawlessly.

    On a side note, if anyone is going to purchase GData products, please do through Ultimate Internet Security. They have the best customer service. I purchased through the GData International website and the order was screwed up. No response after several emails. Customer Service @ UIS helped straighten it out even though I did not buy it from them. I really wish I had and I definitely will next time. They are a first class company with superb personnel. I will only buy GData through them when my license is up. :thumb:

    Hi guys,

    i have a valid license for G DATA 2010 Internet Security. I check once a week for program files update, i have now version 20.0.4.35, english G DATA. A few days ago G DATA started to download the same update, i install it, reboot the computer then checking the program files update and same thing goes again, it wants to download the update. What is wrong? No new version, but if i click on the program files update it downloads and installs the same update...o_O

    I'll see what happens to me when I get home. I don't think I had any issues earlier in the week.

    So, I saw the behavior blocker in action tonight with of all things, iTunes. I was updating it to the new version and G-Data popped up a window that said QTask was trying to modify my system. It had a cool little details window. Informative and precise.

    Still really liking the software. One of my favorites in my opinion!

    Take care
    Chuck

    Hi

    Norton IS got corrupted on my system, so I decided to try some alternates:

    I got G-Data IS 2010 working OK, but have these questions:

    How do I report a site that was not blocked by parental Control?
    How do I password protect the parental control settings?

    English help file not very helpful.

    Kaspersky IS sucked a bit, so I hope this is better - otherwise I have to install Norton IS to use up the rest of my licence period.

    Cheers,

    Murray

    If you are running Vista, check your Gadgets. There's a cute little G Data Gadget that looks like a piece of armor with the last update date and the green 'eye' that will pulsate every once in a while.

    I love things like this!!!

    I have removed GData Internet Security 2010: It slowed down the retrieval of web pages significantly. There is no password protection of Parental Controls.

    Parental Control blocked some pages that should not be blocked. EG Nelson Mandela Children's Fund was blocked?

    I have re-installed Norton Internet Security 2008. It is much faster when retrieving web pages, and has password protection of parental controls.

    Norton Internet Security 2008 is the winner. 10/10
    Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 comes in a close second. 9/10
    GData Internet Security 2010 is pathetic 5/10

    I have 5 months left on my Norton licence, so I am not willing to try their newer products yet.

    Cheers,

    Murray

    first: too bad that norton detection rate sucks, G DATA is way better.

    second: the problem is only on ur machine, i don't have problem with G DATA, the webpages are loaded fast. Check ur system.

    I notice no slowdown on anything I do with G-data 2010 IS.

    I'm still very happy with the suite and trust me, I've tried them all!!!

    I am trying GD 2010 now. Looks like they lowered their price quite a bit. The only downside so far is I had to remove spywareblaster.
