I have not read any reviews, but it has managed to alert me to some virus emails I have received and I was able to take care of it without sighted assistance. When I check out these products I'm looking at them strictly for accessibility/usability.
We have seen some instances where AVG Free edition flags some Window-eyes components as viruses needing a complete reinstall of Window-eyes.

I am currently shopping because my copy of Vipre runs out next month. I also may just say heck with it and go with AVG free edition (grin).

I wouldn't compare this to malware bites, I would compare it to AVAST, AVG, MSSE, etc as it is full protection, not just malware. Chris From: Duyahn Walker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2014 11:41 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: GData Total Security Ok. But, if you want a program that is good, which I would get this is, why would you want a program that takes more CPU? In a way, this sounds like a more beefed up version of malware bytes. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Grabowski<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 12, 2014 10:13 AM Subject: RE: GData Total Security It does, check the site for current pricing and more information. It didn't seem to hit the cpu any more then viper. In some instances web pages seemed to load faster. It had an interesting feature, instead of checking for updates every hour it could check when the computer was idol. The default was to check every hour. Documentation seemed to be clear and easy to understand. Note: I didn't test the anti-virus or internet security products, I went straight for total security.

Also, how much CPU usage did this use when you were running this? Duyahn ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Grabowski<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 12, 2014 9:54 AM Subject: GData Total Security Hi, Over the past two or three days I have been messing with an internet security package called GData Total Security. You can get more information from: http://www..GData-software.com Before I continue, you must turn off keylogging support under: Web protection/more setting/key logger protection. You can get there from the main GData Total Security window. Failing to do this will render quick navigation keys in Window-eyes unusable in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. For example you will not be able to jump by heading using H. Both installing and uninstalling can be done without vision. If it detects a virus an accessible window comes up and you can choose what to do with it. If an email contains a virus, an alert comes up and you can read the information on the virus or hit the check box to not display anymore warnings. It can modify the subject/body when it does remove a virus. Note: you may need to alt-tab to the alert. The full computer scan is accessible and doesn't seem to slow the computer down when it is running. When scanning the computer, switch to the window you can then read the title bar and the percent done is announced first. The firewall seems to work all though I haven't had any alerts come up. One can access all dialogs and options. Dialogs seem to be created with standard controls. Hope this helps. Chris If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
