G DATA AntiVirus 2010 Description
It is among the best in malware detection and removal. It had the highest detection rate, identifying on average 99 percent of the 722,372 collected samples of Trojan horses, worms, password-stealers, and other nasties. It identified and removed 100 percent of the files and Registry changes that malware had put in place.The program's front end is crisply rendered and neatly groups together the various arms of the suite, with one drop-down menu per section to quickly access the main tasks such as running a virus scan.
It is effective at keeping computer safe from all sorts of malware, including viruses, trojans, browser hijackers, dialers, worms, phishing scams and rootkits and also protects on all fronts, from email to instant messaging. It comes with a boot CD that can be used on computer prior to installation. The boot CD can run a safe Linux-based scan to locate and remove rootkits, making it possible to load antivirus software on a completely virus-free system. The other good option is its ability to scan removable media for malware. USB flash drives, memory cards, CD and DVD-roms, and external hard drives can be checked. G DATA could be set to monitor emails you send to others and make sure that you don’t accidentally pass on malware.
