G-Data always comes out on top in the various tests - in the US and Europe. E.g. this is the latest from AV:

I read somewhere that it uses Avast and Bitdefender as its 2 scanning engines, that is Engine A and Engine B.

I know it's been out for years i i've heard of it never really tried it before, 200+ MB? hmm something i'd have to download when i go to sleep (dialup) .. being ranked number 1 and whatnot why is it every forum i goto theres rarely any mentioning of G DATA?

It's always Avast this Norton that, etc...

Why's that?

Edit: Meaning, do people not like this AV? :S

It's taking quite awhile to download. Just notice the setup file size is around 253MB. :shock:

It is a German company and their products are very popular in Europe, but not so much known in the US.

Sorry guys, i think i'll pass this time around. Sticking with MSE. No hard feelings right guys.

It's a great product and I'm very tempted to switch. Eset has served me well tho so I'm still undecided. I might try it on my laptop maybe. It is consistantly in the top 5 of most reputable anti-review lists. As WHS pointed out, at AV Comparitives it is always on top.

btw...WHS, in that graph it is not MSE but Microsoft One Care. MSE test results have not yet been published

Prevention seems to be its downfall.

I think you are right. It is not MSE. Let's hope it will do a little better since many of us jumped on the bandwagon. Although I already caught a trojan and a browser highjacker since I use MSE. Makes you wonder.
