Hello!

I begin my experiments with the latest version of G Data IS 2015. It detected 107 threats on my pc, so I started to remove them and here comes the pain. The disinfection process took around 50 minutes!!!!! :confused:

My question is: is this normal, or do I need to change something in the settings?

(my pc's specs are: 16 GB ram, quad core 4,1Ghz, Win 8.1)

thanks :)

The disinfection of GData doesn't work with the most files so choose to quarantine better but if you got any game's executable file infected then try to select to disinfect option. but anything else I recommend you to choose quarantine option for faster removal. ;)

Simple solution, percei this using G Data in Vm
Go to the settings of the antivirus,
Change to delete instead disinfect.
Will remove the threats instantly

I do not appreciate be passed as a liar, what you try to make.

Gdata is very slow to delete a file, it is none of my doing ......

For information, when I tested him, he put 25min approximately

PS : My english is bad, sorry.
