The basic benchmark for your IT security: with G DATA AntiVirus, you're assured reliable antivirus protection for the clients in your network. G DATA AntiVirus software uses Double-Scan technology and proactive detection that reliably identifies and removes even unknown viruses, Trojans, and other malware. Try the multiple award-winning protection now!



The best G DATA protection for Windows utilizes brand-new technologies called DeepRay® and BEAST. These advanced features employ artificial intelligence and behavioral analysis to effectively detect hidden and previously unidentified malware threats.

G Data is a well-established cybersecurity company based in Germany that claims to have developed the world's first antivirus software. In order to determine the effectiveness of G Data's antivirus capabilities, my team and I conducted a series of tests. We found that G Data is a highly capable antivirus solution with a range of useful features, an intuitive interface, and reliable customer support.

It offers good value for money if you only need to protect one device. However, if you require protection for multiple devices, G Data is more expensive compared to top-tier brands such as Malwarebytes or ESET NOD32 Antivirus, which offer comparable malware protection along with additional features like VPN and multi-device licenses.

If you have only one device, it may be worth trying G Data with its 30-day free trial. Additionally, you can extend your trial period by taking advantage of the 30-day money-back guarantee.

Security

G Data impressed us with its comprehensive security suite. During our testing, it successfully blocked all malware samples, prevented access to malicious websites, and provided protection for email and social media. G Data had minimal impact on computer performance while running in the background.

Virus Scans

G Data's virus scan is highly effective at detecting and removing malware. In our tests, it successfully detected and removed various types of malware, including Trojans, worms, and spyware. The full scan option, which scans all files on the computer, provides detailed information about the scanning process and estimated completion time. G Data also offers smaller-scale scans for specific areas of the system.

Real-Time Protection

G Data's real-time protection is highly impressive, with near-perfect rates for blocking new and unknown threats. It utilizes a "virus monitor" that directs internet traffic through G Data's cloud, where virus signatures are regularly updated. The program also uses behavioral analysis technology to identify malicious processes before they can harm the device. In our tests, G Data successfully identified and blocked 99.6% of threats while flagging only 1% of harmless files as malware.

Safe Web, Anti-Spam, Ransomware, and Phishing Protection

G Data offers a suite of defensive measures to safeguard browsing activities, including protection against adware, spam, exploits, and phishing attempts. The program provides browser extensions for popular browsers like Edge, Firefox, and Chrome, which effectively block access to dangerous websites. However, G Data was not able to block all real-world ransomware samples in our tests, achieving a detection rate of 70%.

Ease of Use

Both G Data's desktop and mobile apps have user-friendly interfaces that are easy to navigate, making them suitable for users with varying levels of computer knowledge. However, the Android and iOS apps have notable differences in terms of features. G Data's apps are straightforward but lack some of the advanced features available in the desktop version.

Support

G Data provides excellent phone support, with knowledgeable agents who can address both technical and billing inquiries. However, other support options, such as online resources and service forms, are slower and less effective. The FAQ library lacks information about some essential features, and service form responses may take several days.
