App Review Gdata Total Security 2022

[L0ckJaw]

It takes time to delete each individual file. Any other antivirus will be much faster. If only deleting a few files this won't be an issue.

From what i see is ,everybody has this slowness in a VM. I use GData on normal machine with SSD ( No VM or other virtual machine ) and no slowness at all ?

I'm not using a VM.

So it took almost 3 hours to remove the threats detected on the contextual scan!!! That's super slow. But anyway, since it's not common to have that many threats on the system, we can give it a pass for this slowness.

Yes, G Data takes a lot of time to remove threats, one by one, like Dr Web!

I’m running G Data on SSD and changed the setting to “delete threats”.

Yes I was just thinking that Dr Web is slow as well. But from memory, G Data is the slowest of the two.

I can't remember the last time I encountered a single malware file

I saw alot , but thats because i test sometimes, but in real life, never.

Personal I would care little how long time Gdata clean several hundreds or more samples as that by itself is extreme unrealistic. The important part should always be if it actually is able to complete the process or not even with just 1 genuine malicious sample. If I was curious, I would concentrate to deep check and test that instead. It's also important to be aware that not all samples either VT ( virustotal ) or even on Malwarebazaar or other repositories is automatic 100% malicious. Malwarebazaar even state that.

While MalwareBazaar tries to identify whether the sample provided is malicious or not, there is no guarantee that a sample in MalwareBazaar is malicious.

I can 100% confirm that specific highlighted and underscored part.

Harlan is testing GData now for a month in the hub.

Kaspersky for EU versions, even the Free one, complies the EU GDPR also

I'm not using a VM.

Me too. Truly slow to delete a file. Honestly, it's too slow.

I dont care if its slow when bombing in with over 200+ malware samples.
From the testing i did, with fresh 0 day samples and the testing @Shadowra and @harlan4096 did it proves to me its more than capable to defend the system.
And an other important part is the GDPR rules GData applies. Something other AV companies neglect.They just want your data because data is Money. Thats why they provide so called " Free " versions, like Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Avast etc the free part is paid with your data.

I can agree with you here.
My Arabit product does not have a free version - apart from the online scanner.
And there are no ads in your product.
Likewise, no e-mails come to the Arcabit spam inbox.

Same with GData, no " Free" version.

Oke. But G DATA is slow to scan the system as well.
And that's a negative.
Busy resources for a long time.

 

[M4RT1NE2]

Maybe it's slow to scan. It is important that the system is clean. Worse if it would scan quickly and not detect threats.

Slow ? 20 mins full scan

When is the last time you used it ?

 

[marcopaone]

When is the last time you used it ?

Yesterday.

 

[L0ckJaw]

Yesterday.

And uninstall it

 

[M4RT1NE2]

I had the opportunity to use the G DATA TS a few days ago. It did not take long for the entire system to be scanned. For me, the length of the scan is not that important. A few minutes sooner or later. It is important that it detects malware well
