G Data is a well-organized and capable antivirus suite from Germany. It offers two malware engines for added protection, and is priced well. Although it’s not as well known as other antivirus suites, G Data does a good job and the Total Security offering has plenty of features for those who want more than malware scans out of their security suite.
