Vigilant Security Granting No Compromise On its Terms

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Very good security software as you can personalize advanced settings in a simple click. Remain safe while there is more awaiting always with GData. I feel experience speaks it for best use. Do avoid trying cracked versions as it will land you in trouble. Pay within the trial period and you can get more out of what you ever wanted for online security.

Pros:

Rarely I limit my online freedom erasing any traces I am vulnerable for future threats. GData solves this unlimited vigilance profiting every user even within its free trial never demanding credit cards. My genuine license is secure for restoring its validity if another installation demands the same. I find the enhanced trust for my online security gives added value bypassing net-neutrality for better terms. I recommend you have a secure solution solving all your online needs in one place.

Cons:

Sometimes advanced firewall trains a censored limit when vulnerabilities can overcome existing nominal notion that we are safe online. In future Indian Data protection bill is a big savior for GData so that every common man can feel safe with its supported vpn that never violates genuine concerns. Many VPN has exited its physical servers in INDIA. I feel such added value for genuine trust in net-neutrality is where GData fulfilled all time ahead.

Un antivirus competente pero con deficiencias varias

4.0 last year

Comments: Personalmente prefiero otros antivirus del mercado, porque mientras lo utilicé, en más de una ocasión tuve cierta incertidumbre sobre si el dispositivo estaba fuertemente protegido o no.

Pros:

Sin duda lo mejor del antivirus es la facilidad de su implementación, sobre todo en dispositivos Windows, lo cual, a pesar de parecer una obviedad, bien podría ser mucho más complicado para no iniciados. Por suerte, su aplicación la puede realizar cualquier persona con un entendimiento básico de windows.

Cons:

La falta de respuesta inmediata, lo cual genera dudas sobre si el antivirus está trabajando en el dispositivo o no.

Buen antivirus

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Gracias a este antivirus no hemos vuelto a tener problemas con los Ramsomware

Pros:

Lo mejor es la protección antiramsomware.Desque que lo usamos no hemos tenido más ataques de este tipo.Es un Antivirus que usa muy pocos recursos del equipo.

Cons:

A veces es un poco molesto cuando se dá cuenta de que has puesto un teclado nuevo en el ordenador ya que lo bloquea.Para pausar el antivirus siempre es necesario tener la contraseña de administrador.
