Antivirus test: G DATA Internet Security 2019 3zl6n

Published on 13/12/2018

In recent years, G DATA has no longer surprised us. The German publisher seems to be happy with its consumer security solutions and our latest tests showed that evolutions were minimal. However, this did not take anything away from the antivirus’s performance, which was quite good. But this year, we expect more and hope that G DATA Internet Security 2019 will bring real innovations and changes so that the publisher can stand out from its competitors. Will 2019 be the year of G DATA? Answer in our test.

Installation of G DATA Internet Security 2019 3o292g

Nothing new when it comes to installing the new version of G DATA Internet Security 2019. The operation is always very fast and simple to perform without any unnecessary windows. As in previous years, we will note the obligation to fill in a form with some personal information, which will lead to the creation of a . This is required if you need to manage several licenses but also if you simply want to test the solution for free for 30 days.

G DATA Internet Security 2019 Interface 381119

We went back to the G DATA tests we did in previous years to see that, yes, the G DATA Internet Security interface has not changed since 2014. This is the sixth version that the publisher offers us and which has the same interface. And 6 years in the software world is a very long time. Some competitors have had time to make 1 or 2 graphic redesigns.

Fortunately, G DATA Internet Security 2019 is still in the air. The ergonomic choices remain well thought out and the interface offers easy access to the various tools of the security suite.

A series of tabs provides access to all modules: antivirus scanning, firewall, file backup, … Each of them has its own settings and options that are accessible in the same window. The settings are quite numerous but are easily understood by the general public. The first tab called “Security Center” is the one that is most frequently consulted since it contains the most important information: status of shields, virus database, notifications…

Features of G DATA Internet Security 2019 4se15

G DATA Internet Security 2019 is the intermediate security solution in the publisher’s range. It consists of an antivirus, of course, but also a configurable firewall, and a module that automatically backs up data in the cloud. The security suite also protects s when they access their s online.

As for the new features of this 2019 edition, they are not easily visible to s: G DATA wanted to make alerts as simple as possible to avoid flooding s. The publisher has also improved artificial intelligence to detect more threats, new and old, known and unknown.

Performance of G DATA Internet Security 2019 5s462v

We started by looking at G DATA Internet Security 2019’s reaction when it faces threats. As soon as we plugged in our verified USB key, the software immediately came forward and suggested that we analyze the device before using it: good point.

We submitted a file full of malware to the antivirus program. The analysis was very quick and also very effective. Nearly 3,000 threats have been detected by G DATA Internet Security. The software was one of the fastest in of contextual analysis. As for disinfection, G DATA Internet Security took its time, which is not surprising given the number of threats that had to be neutralized, but the operation proved to be successful.

The firewall is very complete and rather easy to configure. It is possible to create a list of rules that correspond to authorized or blocked applications, network or printer management and other services. G DATA has thought of proposing interface styles, including one that is even more complete and reserved for expert s.

G DATA’s web protection is achieved by installing a browser extension called G DATA Web Protection. We obviously took the time to see if it was effective. After several tests, we found that its protection was good but that it was sometimes supplanted by that of the browser, in our case Firefox. She still managed to save us from going to malicious sites and ing infected software.

We will very quickly switch to the file backup tool that allows you to schedule backups of certain folders to a Google Drive or Dropbox . This module has not changed since last year.

Finally, we focused on , which has not changed either. The must first create a profile that will be that of the child to be protected. It is possible to choose which type of content to prohibit, either by checking the proposed categories or by adding keywords or websites yourself. What is certain is that the blocked research is blocked and that we have not managed to get around this blockage, which is a very good point.

Conclusion 405n55

We could have written the same conclusion as last year to the exact word: G DATA Internet Security 2019 is a good security suite but it no longer evolves. We found no defects when using the product: antivirus scanning is effective, the firewall and are easy to use and web protection is available when the needs it.

But why does the publisher continue to offer annual products when new products are so rare? The antivirus is almost identical to its version 2018. In any case, G DATA Internet Security 2019 is a convincing product, and if you are already a of the German software, you will not be out of place.
