G Data Releases Limited Edition of TotalProtection 2012

G Data released a limited edition of their new TotalProtection 2012 product, designed to offer enhanced protection for three devices. The temporary addition to their product line includes some novel features such as Image Backup, Security Tuning and File Safe encryption.

“As malware and security threats continue to rise, the need for a fully comprehensive security package is becoming increasingly important. G Data TotalProtection 2012 provides a solution for the whole family, with features such as idle scan which ensures your PC isn’t slowed down,” says Eddy Willems, Security Evangelist at G Data.

The complete package comes at a price of 38.95 EUR ($52) being able to run virus checks even if the system is idle, while offering proactive protection against bank-account-stealing trojans.

The product also comes with an improved Outlook ad-on that protects a machine against malicious emails.

The integrated firewall and the cloud-based analysis mechanisms is designed to secure internet users without constantly asking them for input and without affecting the device's general performance.

Finally, the back-up features allow customers to quickly restore the entire system with the use of an image module.

“Along with proactive protection against online banking Trojans, this special product really addresses the growing diversity of malware threats. For £39,95($52), one normally buys a G Data TotalCare license for just one computer. G Data TotalProtection offers protection for 3 PCs and adds a data safe to the mix. This fact makes this special end of year edition a very attractive one.”

G Data not long ago released a report in which they highlight the major differences between paid security solutions and free ones. Even though free products offer a certain level of protection, complete package offers are desirable thanks to the powerful firewalls, the anti-phishing modules and the http filters which make sure internet threats are more efficiently counterattacked.
