About G Data Total Security
G Data has been making antivirus since 1987 and still does things its own way. A dual-engine scanner, development and support entirely in Germany, and a public no-backdoor guarantee. AV-Comparatives tested it again in its 2025-2026 consumer rounds; the rating is on the lab’s page, linked below. The dual engine costs some performance, and the interface will not win design awards. What you get in return is rare in this market, a renewal price that looks like the first-year price.

AV-Comparatives included G Data Total Security in its Real-World Protection Test February-May 2026, published June 15, 2026. The lab asks for written permission before its ratings are reproduced, so the result is on the lab’s page rather than here.
AV-Comparatives: Real-World Protection Test February-May 2026“German thoroughness in software form. Two scan engines, a proper firewall, and a no-games price that barely moves at renewal. Heavier than the single-engine leaders and the interface is dated, but G Data is the honest workhorse of this list.”Checked by our editorial team
