GDATA 2010 Beta

Well, actually if you observe the situation is not something strange. At least not from Kaspersky side.

At first AOL was using their engine for their on-demand scanner.
Then, Kaspersky pull off.
After that the same happend to G-Data, and To Online Armour.
And this are the examples that i can think of now, and i can't recall if there were some similar cases.
I don't know what scheme uses Kaspersky, but is not quite good.

Either they should give the engine to someone and let them use it for couple of years or not give the engine at all.

When Avira give their engine to Lavasoft (Helix AV), and Avast and Bidefender are giving their engines, i don't see the logic in the Kaspersky moves.
I don't think that G-Data have some choice.

O.K they are not giving lifetime license, but at least they should give 2 week trip to Seychelles. I think is fair enough .

 

I agree completely

 

Although there was not an official word on the change of engines, according to rokop forums some power testers suggested it was possibly due to better multithreading capabilities of the BD engine against the KAV one.

Users with multicore processors should see a dramatic improvement in speed and performance respect to 2008 and earlier versions (as i did when i tested it).

I just don't trust much on the BD detection rate

 

If you consider that Kaspersky's Anti-Virus SDK is still based on version 5 (at least, a few months ago this was still the case) it's not weird company's change to Bitdefender/Avira/AVAST SDK's.

 

And Avast/Bitdefender is a step down? I really dont think so.

 

maybe once the new kav for business comes out the SDK will be updated.
FYI f-secure have used kav engine for years.

 

Is the english version available yet?

 

Tried Gdata, its surprisingly light for a multi-engine product. Something I hope F-Secure is also trying to emulate. Anti-Spam is accurate, Firewall is so-so.

But one issue I had with Gdata 2010, is its webfilters/Http Scanner. It really slows down the net access.

Didn't explore much deeper, maybe after the English Build arrives.

 

English version is out!

Where's the English version? I can't seem to find the download.

 

My bad, I thought it was added to the first post...

You can find it here:

Note that the AVKCleaner in the first post works with both English and German version.

---------------------------------------

By the way, according to this article:

http://www.gdata.de/ueber-g-data/pr...icle/1133-die-schnellste-security-softwa.html

The 2010 German version will be released in early April.

My BETA license is going to expire in 5 days (check the screenshots). Just wonder if there will be a new beta license for the English version?

P/S: Some bugs I've found so far:
- G DATA Shredder will not open
- The help files is still the 2009's ones
- If you click on "What will happen if my license expires?" the program will say "Cannot open help files"

 

Thanks for the new update

 

The help files probably haven't been made for the English version yet. But the program will just stop updating once the license expires.

Aww...They haven't released the English version for antivirus only

 

Hi,

G Data 2010 Final was released today, but only the German version.
http://www.gdata.de/

Don't know when the English version will be released.

Cheers

 

Thanks for the heads-up.

 

Man we're just starting 2009 so why the rush on 2010 final?

I guess at this pace we'll see v.2011 later this year

(oh Nostradamus predicted 2012 as being the end of the world, i see )

 

Its been officially annouced. GData 2010 beta is over.

Lol the english BETA has just been released for about 4 days and now the BETA is over...

 

Gdata ofcourse has to copy something from Symantec, the whole CPU % and Gdata % is totally ripped off. Sad.

 

True, but the CPU usage is much less than the 2009 version. So, its a wash for me.

 

lol u make it sound like displaying resource usage in an app is a unique thing that norton was first to do, well its not...

 

Anybody know something information about english version of antivirus 2010?
