[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1122483, member: 114717"] G DATA is no longer actively developed. It receives updates for break-fixes, bugs, and reported vulnerability issues - but it is no longer receiving new features or other product improvements. Any improvements are minimal. Incremental. This is when a software is a "maintenance" phase - where the code is maintained but nothing is really done to improve the product. The investment firm/holding company that owns G DATA - headed by Ms. Kaspersky - has been milking products for years. They've all been in a maintenance phase for years. Plus, G DATA is a very small company compared to other AV publishers. It is difficult to get proper support or bugs fixed. Protection wise, I'd put G DATA behind Windows Defender. AV lab tests have shown repeatedly for the prior 10+ years that G DATA fails against script malware and many software that are not .exe. I would not put it onto a system with truly valuable data (peoples' 1 TB libraries of ePorner videos is not valuable data - let it all get encrypted and ransomed). [/QUOTE]
