667168 2008-07-24 23:01:00 gdata the long and the short of it - the product uses two scan engines (Kerspersky and Advast) with a GUI that is quite good - it has a gamers firewall and fine tuning can be done to increase the speed ... that's it in a nut shell ! You can also download a free trial but there are a couple of bugs in the free software (early expiration of trail) but apart from that it works a treat.

Hope that helps

667169 2008-07-25 00:43:00 consumer credability = ZERO

Consumer ALWAYS test and slam the 'brand' names .

In a recent tv roundup, they determined Sony and I think Panasonic were the best brands . All the rest were ok, while Philips was the worst .

Based on what I have heard, Philips are the most common brand requiring repair, so I guess consumer lines up with that .

But I question their technical ability to review things . They should stick to household items and leave the technical stuff to PCworld :p

Is that the same PCWorld that rated Norton's so highly?

667171 2008-07-25 01:17:00 Hi Guys - The G DATA Information can be found at the long and the short of it - the product uses two scan engines (Kerspersky and Advast) with a GUI that is quite good - it has a gamers firewall and fine tuning can be done to increase the speed . . . that's it in a nut shell ! You can also download a free trial at both sites but there are a couple of bugs in the free software (early expiration of trail) but apart from that it works a treat .

Hope that helps

I'm not sure, I dont actually follow PC world closely. I'm surprised at how basic some publications are though; for example some magazines review dvd writers. If it burns fast and comes with good software, it is a star performer. No mention of burn quality, which is the true measure of a dvd burner.

Some bug.

Sounds like a scam to me.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :crying

I haven't heard them advertise that fact - hopefully it stays that way.

Has anyone else noticed that all these horrible bloated security suites list improved system performance as a feature? Isn't false advertising illegal?
