Antivirus/Antispyware:  

G Data’s antivirus protection runs constantly in search of malware. You can choose to scan your computer manually, or on set intervals ranging from once every hour, to once a month. The scans check each system area, prominent rootkit locations, and an assortment of viruses. Unfortunately you cannot configure this product to search for a specific type of malware.

Firewall:  

A firewall is designed to keep your computer safe from hackers and worms. We were very impressed with G Data on this section. It managed to keep unwanted guests at bay, while still allowing 2-way communication.

Internet Security:  

G Data does an OK job of protecting your computer on the internet front, but lacks some of the spunk our top rated products have. It is able to pick up many common malware, such as Trojans and bots, and does an exceptionally good job of tracking down rootkits. G Data also has a great feature which detects phishing scams before you enter a site, further protecting your personal information.

G Data does not, however, have the ability to indicate the relative security status of a Website. This is something we think G Data should consider adding because it will prevent the user from ever accidentally ending up on a dangerous site.
