Virus Protection: G Data Total Security offers high-quality protection against viruses, Trojans, worms, and other malicious software. The program includes an antivirus engine that scans and monitors all files and applications on your computer to detect and remove threats. It protects your online privacy by blocking malicious websites and phishing emails and filtering spam. It also includes a virtual keyboard feature to protect your passwords and financial data from theft.

The firewall in G Data Total Security performs several important functions to prevent unauthorized access to your computer or network and block malicious data traffic. It monitors all network connections to and from your computer and blocks unwanted connections that could pose a security risk.

It can also block network attacks like DDoS attacks that aim to overwhelm your computer or network to prevent you from using the internet. Blocks also apply to IP addresses known to engage in illegal activities, including bots or C&C communication servers. It also takes care of programs attempting to access the network or the internet without your permission to protect against malware or other unwanted programs.

G Data Total Security includes a parental control feature that allows parents to control and monitor their children's online activities by setting restrictions on access to websites, applications, and games, or by controlling the time the child spends on the computer. This is done, for example, by setting time limits for network usage – a daily limit or specific times of day when the child can use the computer.

Depending on the child's age and maturity level, you can set different levels of parental controls for different users. With G Data Total Security, parents can effectively monitor their children's online activities and prevent access to inappropriate content, protecting children from malware, cyberbullying, and other online threats.

The backup feature available in the program allows you to back up data such as files, folders, documents, photos, videos, etc. The user can schedule data archiving and choose where to store it, such as on an external hard drive or in the cloud. In case of a computer failure, the user can easily restore their data from a backup.

Tune-up, on the other hand, allows you to optimize your computer's operation by removing unnecessary files, registry entries, services, or programs that could slow down its performance. This feature can also help improve computer performance by defragmenting the hard drive, updating drivers and software, and managing startup items. With the backup and optimization features of G Data Total Security, users can secure their files and optimize their PC's performance, enhancing overall performance and system efficiency.

The VPN client in G Data Total Security allows you to connect to various VPN servers in different locations around the world. This enables you to access online resources that may be restricted in your country or region. It also provides encryption of internet traffic to enhance user privacy and protect data from unauthorized access.

However, please note that the integrated VPN client in G Data Total Security has a limited number of VPN servers compared to dedicated services. If you require more advanced features, additional VPN solutions may be worth considering.

In conclusion, G Data Total Security is comprehensive security software that offers virus protection, online privacy, firewall, parental control, backup, and tune-up features. It is a good choice for individuals who want to ensure maximum security when using their computer and the internet.
