There’s a parental control tool that does a good job at locking down access to certain categories of websites or manually defined URLs. G DATA Internet Security offers a variety of extras that make it a truly complete solution for protecting you from online threats.

In particular, G DATA has been rated favorably for its malware-crushing capabilities (the software scored full marks from several providers in this department) as well as its low rate of false positive detections. In terms of independent test scores, the German company has received high ratings from four rating companies. This was less of a resource drain than the task manager program itself and I did not notice any lag in speed as it indexed my folders. While running a system scan, the program only consumed 5.8% of my available CPU. G DATA has a reputation for system performance hog, but I did not find that to be the case during my test.
Overall, this is an extremely comprehensive assortment of virus scanning options. Additionally, all of these scans can be scheduled so that they run automatically at preconfigured times. The memory and startup scanner ensures that no malicious programs are running during system boot and a rootkit scanner tests for ones that load prior to system boot. The real-time protection is complemented nicely by the idle scan tool, which initiates a system-wide scan when the system is idle.

I downloaded a test virus to see how quickly it would be detected and received a notification within seconds of finishing the download from my Google Drive. This is a useful “low level” tool that sits deep within the system. Both products, however, include real-time system protection which monitors all read and write file operations happening on the system as they happen. While both include antivirus protection, only the latter includes firewall protection, parental control, and a cloud backup feature.
I tried out two of G DATA’s products during my evaluation: G DATA Antivirus and G DATA Internet Security.
