Firewall

A firewall protects your computer from being spied on. It checks which data and programmes are sent from the internet or network to your computer. As soon as something indicates that data on your computer is being uploaded or downloaded without authorisation, the firewall sounds an alarm and blocks the unauthorised data exchange. This software module is available in the program versions G DATA Internet Security and G DATA Total Security.

Switch off firewall: You can also switch off the firewall if necessary. Your computer will then still be connected to the Internet and other networks, but will no longer be protected by the firewall from attacks or spyware (not recommended).
Switch off autopilot: As a rule, it makes sense to use the firewall in the autopilot function. It then runs in the background and protects you without you having to make any major settings. If you use the firewall without the autopilot, a dialogue box appears in cases of doubt in which you can gradually optimise the firewall to suit your system conditions. This is a helpful feature for experienced users. Normally, however, switching off the autopilot is not recommended.
