Hi gery,
Just download it, and see for yourself. This is the best suite to date on my computer, very light, excellent detection, and very user friendly.

I have purchased the A/V from Matt at Ultimate Internet Security, I would have to see if he can upgrade me? The firewall in the 2009 version was not my favorite, I have not seen the 2010 version.

 

Comon guys can we get an answer besides - try it yourself?

 

Hi gery,
This is Mem usage and VM size.

 

thanks a lot

 

Doe's anyone know if GData are using the latest engine versions of Avast & Bitdefender.

G Data uses the same engine version as BD (11.0.0.24)
Strange: G Data uses a higher version (4.8.1344.0) of the avast engine than avast! 4.8 (4.8.1335.0)

I am trying it on a test computer of mine. Update downloads for me are terribly slow. Web browsing is extremely slow also. So much so I am considering removing the program altogether. There are no conflicts with anything else on my computer because it it really the only thing on this fresh install (XP - SP3). The plus side is it really is nice to look at and easy to use. I had Avira free, OA free and Drive Sentry on this computer prior and had no problems. I like GData but it seems to slow down my computer that has nothing on it.

 

Hi Ford Perfect,
Where did you find this info,I have look everywhere.

Hi Badcompany,

I also couldn´t find this information - so I installed the trial versions, performed updates and checked the relevant dlls .

Thanks, I sent a e-mail to support in Germany & the UK 7 days ago asking for this info but still waiting. There support is a joke.

 

Hy guys!

I'm very happy with G DATA 2010 Internet Security but i have 1 question.

Where can i send malware samples that G DATA couldn't detect?

I asked this from G DATA support but they are very-very slow, i got an e-mail from them 2 weeks later! And i think they couldn't understand that i need just an e-mail address for the malwer samples, like AVG does(virus@avg.com).

So i have send the samples to Bitdefender and AVAST, 4 days ago. Still not an answer from Bitdefender(support@bitdefender.com) and Avast(virus@avast.com), G DATA still not detects it. I don't want to use another security software, i'm happy with G DATA, i just wanted to help them improve their detection.

 

In my own experience, they won't answer these kind of inquiries.
They'll just help you when you are in real trouble

Either they (Avast & BD) don't consider your samples to be a legit threat or they just are slow at processing submissions.
AFAIK, GData does not have an email address for sending samples. Can anyone confirm?

 

It's about 40 files, 100% virus, i have send Avira and they analyzed it.

But now i checked with G DATA, and deleted 13 infected files.

I dont know if this is because i send to Bitdefender or Avast.

 

I can call someone if they are differences between the free version and full version?? GDATA using IS 2010 and I like faorte much less when the 6 scans HDD hangs very much ( t enough ram (4GB DDR2 Kingston HyperX)

 

thanks for the tip, but i think it didn't work. no reply from them and G DATA still not detects 25 virus files.

I like Avira and Kaspersky support for this, you send them the undetected samples and the reply you with an answer a few minutes later. if it's really a malware then they include it in the next database update.

But unfortunately i like G DATA better

 

Hi Narxis,
If you move found viruses to quarantine, you can send them to GData. I think they call it GData Ambulance. I really like GData too, but there support is unbelievable. I have sent four e-mails in the last nine days and never received a reply.
Badcompany.

 

But im talking about viruses that G DATA not detected. how can i move those to the quarantine?

 

I complained about this during the beta too. GData has no provision to manually add files to quarantine.

So Narxis, better mail and wait.... and wait...

 

That's a shame on G DATA. A company must cooperate with users to fight against malware. I don't know how much it coasts to create a webpage to upload suspicious files(like a-squared) or create an e-mail address for the possible malwares(like Avira and Kaspersky).

Well i think i won't submit files to G DATA, just use their software.

 

Hi Narxis,

send your samples as pw-protected archives (pw=infected) to rokopATgdata.de. Subject: Possible false negative

This is originally an contact address for members of the german rokop-security forum.

I´m sure your samples will be checked asap.

Regards,
Ford

 

Hi Ford Prefect,

Thank you very much! I have send the samples as you said.

I have 2 more questions.

1. Is G DATA Total Care's PC tuning working on Vista x64?

2. In G DATA 2009 there was a toolbar that installed in IE and Firefox. In G DATA 2010 there isn't such a toolbar. They removed that?

 

Hi Narxis,

the tuning module works fine on x64.

The browser PlugIns are modified in 2010. You can add urls to a whitelist to exclude these urls from httpScanning.

You also can modify the whitelist using the main GUI.

The PugIns are not activated by default.

IE: Toolbar-Menu > Check "G Data WebFilter"
FF: View > Toolbars > customize: drag the G Data icon and drop it in the toolbar region
