GDATA 2010 Beta

I'm away from my desktop until tomorrow night. I will test it out tomorrow and post back here on Sunday at the latest. I run GData on-demand only with real-time virus monitor disabled , so you and I may have variations in our results.

 

Thanks Xandman

 

I tested out the GData icon and have had no problems so far. I enabled the antivirus monitor before I replicated what you did. I will continue to test it tomorrow, and let you know if the icon shuts down. So far, nothing.

 

Still have not seen a problem with the tray icon yet. If you are still experiencing difficuties, you might try re-installing GData. Its worth a try.
Let me know if GData responds to you with anything interesting.

 

G Data support in the usa is not very good. Still no response in a week! I may uninstall it.

 

Hi Mark

You may have bought your product directly from G Data but I will try and help you as much as I can (I am the UK country partner) - Please send me a copy of your support emails and I'll look into it - Matt@ultimateinternetsecurity.com

Regards

Matt

 

I was going to get a license of Gdata, cause the my testing really showed its detection and prevention is top notch.

I didn't do a full scan before, today i did one.
Started the Scan at 6Pm, and it FINISHED AT 1AM, thats 7 freakin hrs. It did detect 20 malware, but it took so long. So uninstalled it, and just giving Avira a second chance.

P.S: I have a E2200 with 2GB ram, so that not a issue, comodo and Avira took around 1hr and 1.30hrs to scan.

 

What are some features of the firewall? Worth using the firewall with the AV or just the AV?

 

The firewall module is from Agnitum Outpost minus the HIPS.
So yes, it a good firewall.

 

Does Agnitum know about that, maybe someone should tell em.
As far as I know the firewall module is self-developed by G Data.

Cheers

 

Anyone tested the firewall,Shields-Up says most ports are closed not Stealth.

I downloaded a trial copy to see what it was like before rolling an test copy out over our LAN. the hourly update takes 100% CPU, no throttling evident. Logs in .txt format and always in "simple" format by default, would rather it remembered I selected advanced and also I wanted to know previous and new versions when it updated.

I've gone back to Avira for now. Still looking for a decent LAN based AV solution since Symantec got rid of CE 10.

 

I think I remember GData listing Agnitum as a technical partner before. Maybe they used Agnitum in earlier modules.

EDIT:
Just checked GDATA now doesn't list Agnitum. But now it includes Sunbelt.
http://www.gdata.de/partner/technologiepartner.html

So maybe its SPF. (Since Sunbelt doesn't provide VIPRE engine, iHateSpam to Gdata. So logically it might just be SPF. Also no other partner listed has a standalone Firewall product/SDK available.)

 

This suite is running very nice on my Pc,User friendly GUI, Light, and no problems with the hourly updates.It comes with a shredder nice touch. Worth a look at.The new Firewall is from GData, but can't find much info on it.

I purchased and installed G-Data TotalCare 2010 yesterday. Everything installed fine, except that the G-Data Shredder didn't install. I completely uninstalled the application, per customer service directions, using the AVCleaner tool and reinstalled the app. The Shredder module doesn't even appear on the custom install list as the help file says it should.

Customer Service sent me a link to the ISO, which I downloaded, burned, and reinstalled. Same thing. Does anyone else have this problem with the current version on the website? I'm thinking that they accidentally built the installer without the Shredder on this version. Please help.

 

Is this the same link? (254MB) What OS are you using?

 

This is the link:
http://mirror01.gdata.de/dl_users/qs/SECURITY2010/TC2010/ENG/GDTC2010ENG.ISO

I originally used the link on my purchase confirmation page. I then used the link off g-data.de. I then used the ISO link that customer service sent. All of them install the app just fine, but do not install the Shredder portion of the app. The choice is not even in the custom install screen during installation.

I am running Vista 64. AMD Quad-Corem, 4GB RAM. Currently, no other AV program installed, no other internet security apps installed.

Any thoughts?

 

By the way, the link you listed is for file version 14.0.0.162, which is the same file version as the first two exe's that I downloaded.

Thank you for your help!

 

Hi bensoncoug,
The shredder and parent control or not set by default,If you take the custom install you can add the shredder to the install.Hope this helps.

That is the problem that I am having. When I run a custom installation, the parental controls is listed as an option, but the Shredder is not even on the list to enable.

Thanks!

 

Hi bensoncoug,
I've just noticed that you have GData TotalCare not Internet Security sorry.Have you tried installing Internet Security to see if you have the same problem.

This could be the reason (even though they apparently support 64bit).
I'm not sure. Try emailing Matt, see post #106 above.

 

You are right - the Shredder doesn´t support 64-Bit OS, so it will not be listed even during custom installation.

 

I have solved my problem with the tray icon shutting down. It was Outpost firewall. I uninstalled the program & it solved the problem, when I reinstalled OP the problem came back. I don't want to give up GDAV 2010 & I'm tired of trying to figure it out so I have installed a different firewall & all is well.

 

Why not use Internet Security 2010, The new firewall is very good, It passes the firewall tests from Shields-Up and the seven tests from Pc Flank.
