For example, clicking on Web Protection launches a menu with options to disable URL filtering, add exceptions, or open the Settings dialog for even additional adjustments. G Data indicates the system’s security status along seven protection layers, including the update details, system messages, and license information.Ĭlicking any of these will reveal a menu of related options. This includes an opening screen that doesn't dumb things down by glossing over the security status with merely the a ‘Protected’ caption, or a ‘All good!’ green tick, as some other antivirus solutions do. G Data Antivirus interface provides more information and options than its competition that take the more minimalist approach, and we appreciated this approach. We didn't independently measure this impact on performance, but we'll discuss what leading labs have found below. With our system running full load, we did notice the negative impact on performance. Looking under the hood, G Data occupies 600MB of hard drive capacity, with seven new background processes that consume a full 250MB of RAM.
However, G Data claims this approach gives them higher accuracy- although we're kind of unsure how this would be.
We prefer this to be controlled at the network level (rather than just a single browser), thereby ensuring coverage of all the browsers and our system apps. This is a Chrome extension for the prevention of phishing, scams and malicious sites.
#G data antivirus oder internet security install#
Right after we completed the main setup process, a window popped up and recommended we install G Data WebProtection. There is also a request for a physical address and phone number, but you can skip this step. G Data requires new users to register by providing their name and email address. Installation does take some time with the downloading of the components for setup, but beyond the initial step, everything proceeded nicely, without any further issues.
The G Data Antivirus trial proved to be a simple download.
