This is how G Data protects your path through the web

With online banking and shopping

The connection between your bank and your computer is usually encrypted. The decryption of the data transmission takes place in your browser: Cyber ​​criminals use banking Trojans to get involved in the process. As soon as you make a transfer, the attackers manipulate the data sent. Your money then no longer goes to the intended recipient, such as an online shop, but ends up in another account.

Of course, G Data virus scanner recognizes banking Trojans based on their characteristics. If this malware already has its own signature, Internet Security renders the malware harmless as soon as it is downloaded. G Data BankGuard technology also protects against as yet unknown dangers: The function ensures that your browser only displays checked and genuine content.

How does BankGuard do that?

Manipulations by banking Trojans take place in certain files in the main memory. G DATA BankGuard automatically detects when an infection attempt is made and replaces the affected memory area with a secure copy.

While receiving and sending emails

In addition to the files on your hard drive and external storage, G Data virus scanner also checks your e-mails for malicious content. This applies to all messages that you receive and send with the e-mail program on your computer. If the scanner doesn't find anything, the G Data anti-spam function also becomes active: the application checks the e-mails for features that are typical of spam. Based on these characteristics, a value is calculated that reflects the probability of spam.

In addition to its own assessment, the OutbreakShield technology compares the results with a database on the Internet - this is where the patterns of viruses and spam e-mails sent in bulk are recorded. In this way, G Data Internet Security closes the gap in real time between the start of a mass mailing and combating it with specially adapted signatures.

While surfing

The virus monitor checks all files coming from the web. It stops infected documents, images, etc. as soon as they are downloaded. Unnoticed downloads no longer pose a threat to you. Internet Security is not only dependent on virus signatures that are updated every hour. In addition to the signature scan, the software works with a cloud solution: In this online storage, properties of current files that contain malicious code are collected. These properties are compared with those of your files - and you will quickly find out whether everything is secure.

And how does G DATA protect against dangerous websites?

Internet addresses are also collected in the cloud: If a URL in the database is known to be a distributor of malicious content, G Data Browser Protection blocks the page. So if cybercriminals try to lure you with phishing links, you have nothing to fear. Incidentally, this also applies to attacks via social networks: links in false posts and advertisements are not opened in the browser.

Regardless of the cloud, G Data web protection examines all data that is sent to your computer to access a website. In this way, it recognizes dangerous content before you open the page.
