What could be better than a single antivirus engine? How about two! GDATA Antivirus 2008 provides users with two top rated antivirus engines under one console. Gdata Antivirus 2008 uses the Kaspersky and Avast antivirus engines under a single console to scan and clean your system of viruses, spyware, rootkits... You name it, it cleans it. Currently there is no other antivirus that can match the detection rate of GDATA Antivirus 2008. During our testing the only fault we could find with this superrior protection was it was a little heavy on the memory usage side, compared to some of our other antivirus tests. Our test was ran on a Vista Ultimate 64bit OS, Pentium Dual Core Extreme 2.93Ghz, 3 Gigabytes of Ram, and a Raptor 150 Gigabyte harddrive. There was only a slight notice of a slowdown at startup which took approximately 6 seconds longer due to a startup memory scan which we opted for. We tested GDATA Antivirus 2008 actively scanning our hard drive during normal usage utilizing the dual antivirus engines. Opening applications and surfing the net while scanning we noticed our performance did take a hit with a noticible slow down changing pages and opening new windows. We switched off one antivirus engine and noticed the speed pick back up to an almost unnoticable state. Using both engines to scan our computer while opening programs such as Microsoft Office Word, Powerpoint, downloading a 100 megabyte file. There was a obvious slow down while our CPU was laboring. However, after this we opted for GDATA Antivirus 2008 to scan our computer while we were away in a screen saver mode. This put GDATA Antivirus conducting a complete scan while our computer was at idle. In screen saver mode, GDATA will stop scanning when you return to your computer, move your mouse, or begin preset schedules such as a disk defrag or backup. Also right clicking on the taskmanager icon you have the ability to shutdown GDATA for: 5,10,15, or 30 minutes; 1,2,4, or 8 hours, or until next restart.
