G Data Antivirus

G DATA Antivirus is an ideal antivirus solution for private users. The software is optimized for low resource usage during its work and therefore high speed, even when scanning important data in the background. There is therefore no need to fear a loss of performance when using other applications. To ensure the program's high virus detection rates, two virus scanners work in it. These look for already known malware as well as completely new viruses or threats that are only locally limited to the respective device. A look at the emergence of new viruses shows that this technology is necessary: ​​new malware appears on the Internet about every six seconds. Users who buy G DATA Antivirus protect themselves against it in the best possible way.

To ensure reliable protection, G DATA Antivirus works proactively. As soon as executed files behave suspiciously - for example by starting processes in the background that have nothing to do with the actual file - the antivirus software stops them. Experienced users can then manually decide what to do with the file. All others rely on the secure default settings of the software. This also works for downloads: they do not fully reach the PC as soon as the antivirus scanner detects a threat in it. Since the Internet is the largest gateway for malware of any kind, users protect themselves very effectively with this technology.

As soon as users purchase G DATA Antivirus, they also protect themselves from the security vulnerabilities of other programs such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Office and similar applications. No software can ever be 100% secure - and G DATA Antivirus ensures that any security gaps remain closed. This means that users have nothing to fear even if security gaps that are specifically tailored to the software on their own computer are exploited. This also works for gaps that are not yet known: the antivirus program checks how the malware behaves and whether its approach differs from normal programs.

Using the tool also makes surfing the Internet significantly safer: the virus scanner blocks websites that are infected with malicious code before they are even accessed. This makes it much safer to shop online or do online banking. These security features are also extended to special banking Trojans: These exist to manipulate transfers and thus sometimes cause significant damage. Thanks to the BankGuard technology integrated into G DATA Antivirus, manipulations of this type are immediately detected and then replaced with the original transfer. The malware is of course deleted in the same breath.

The program also provides excellent protection against blackmail Trojans that have become widespread in recent years. These encrypt the contents of a hard drive and only release them again after a payment. Proactive technology is also used here to prevent any data from being encrypted. If there is any suspicious activity on the hard drive, the antivirus solution will immediately stop this process and give you feedback about it. Blackmailers therefore have no chance against users who buy G DATA antivirus and thus provide themselves with comprehensive protection against all kinds of threats and know that their files are permanently safe.

When developing the software, care was taken to achieve a minimum utilization of resources. Despite the numerous features that, in addition to the mechanisms mentioned, also offer protection against infected emails, there is no loss of performance even on older devices. This is also reflected in the low system requirements. Even older computers and notebooks can be optimally protected by purchasing G DATA antivirus.
