G DATA AntiVirus

Your computer stores all kinds of data on a daily basis. Some of it is vital to you and it should be kept safe from being altered or even deleted in case some kind of infection strikes your PC. That's the reason why antivirus software was created in the first place – to prevent eventual loss or degradation of the files stored on your hard-drive.

G Data Antivirus ranks within the best available solutions. It is not a full Internet security application, that's for sure; however, this antivirus provides high security levels comprising two integrated scan engines (heuristics and behavior blocking) along with cloud-based analysis of suspicious files.

It does not run short of security features. On the contrary, G Data Antivirus packs versatile detection methods to keep your data safe from harmful threats. The installation is not rocket science and, as many programs in this category, requires you to restart your computer upon completion. The interface is precise, yet very practical. It delivers the tools you need at hand and also informs us of the current CPU load generated by the antivirus itself, and overall.

We can easily check every aspect of the computer for viruses, spyware, adware, worms, trojans, dialers, rootkits and any other malicious script or phishing scam. While it doesn't provide out-of-the-box link scanner, battery saving or game mode, G Data Antivirus brings the right amount of protection to the system in a manner that does not stress or choke the user-PC interaction as a whole. It is developed with both fluency and efficiency in mind.

The detection rates meet the expectations of both novices and more experienced users. In fact, nobody can argue about the security level G Data Antivirus offers – it is among the best. The `Idle scan` feature is a plus, for sure. This will run as soon as the system enters an inactive state, thus time will not be wasted but taken advantage of. Online banking users will benefit from more secured sessions so they can focus on their work instead of constantly bother themselves with protection issues.

If you are looking for antivirus software to make your day better and keep both online and offline threats at bay, then G Data Antivirus is the one you need. Here are three things to remember: security effectiveness, light on system resources and user-friendly.
