The new release has actually been out for a couple of weeks but only rolled out in Europe. I had been seeing the notification above in MyGData for over a week however the program showed no such option and would not upgrade. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the WEU version of the installation software as described in this post and am now running the latest version.

But that exe is not digitally signed...even M Edge Chromium block it from download.
Is that typical?

I've been paying more attention to G DATA -- it's been performing really well in a lot of recent tests.... However, this seems really odd that a security product vendor doesn't adopt an age-old digital signing mechanism. Microsoft has been putting unsigned binaries in the SmartScreen penalty box since the dawn of Windows 10 (if not earlier), not to mention I don't want to have to trust just HTTPS transport security to make sure that my security software isn't tampered with.

I sent them an email, waiting for response.

I see the hype on G Data and I want to try it again...

Thank you very much, can't wait to hear the response.

As a prospective customer, it matters a lot to me their security and engineering practices. If I am entrusting a product to be the gatekeeper of basically all communications and execution on my computer, it's important for me to feel confident in their practices as a whole.... it's not adequate that their product's tested performance is excellent.

IF I download that exe with Google Chrome, no problems with the download but still no digitally signed and save detection on VT.
