The status "Next update: running" does not change

This article shows you how to correct the display.

① Restart your Computer

Select the Restart option, because only with this a proper Windows restart is performed. Shutting down the PC and booting it up again does not fix the problem.

② Open your G DATA software and run the virus signature update by clicking on Last update (or on Next update) and then on Update virus signatures.
