Effectiveness

While slow, the antivirus engine within G DATA is very thorough. It is also nice that it doesn't eat up many resources while scanning. This gives you the ability to work in other applications while the scanner is running.

Updates

Updates for G DATA Antivirus are downloaded every hour by default. The schedule can be changed if you wish to do so.

Ease of use and installation

G DATA Antivirus is very simple to use. It doesn’t require much user intervention. The default configuration is sufficient for most home users and if you set the scans to a time when you are not using your computer there is little chance you will even notice the program running at all. Installing G DATA Antivirus is as simple as using it.

Pros and Cons

G DATA Antivirus is a simple and effective antivirus product. It includes only the virus scanner, email scanner, and heuristic scanner. These all work well together to make G DATA Antivirus one of the most light weight in the market while still remaining very effective.
Unlike other antivirus software it doesn’t come with a whole swing of extra features.
