G Data Internet Security uses a combination of Avast and BitDefender antivirus engines, and in AV-Test.org's extensive malware-detection tests that combination worked. G Data Internet Security had the highest detection rate of all the products tested, identifying on average 99 percent of the 722,372 collected samples of Trojan horses, worms, password-stealers, and other nasties.
G Data Internet Security identified and removed 100 percent of the files and Registry changes that malware had put in place, but it failed to scrub the Registry for any remaining traces of the test infections. It did detect 100 percent of the inactive rootkits--stealth malware used to hide infections from PC users and security software alike - but removed only 77 percent of rootkits, a result that was the second lowest of the products tested. G Data Internet Security does get credit for having the fewest false positives in heuristics; it misidentified only 1 file out of 5000 test files
