Installation of the agent on a Microsoft Windows system
The agent is installed on Windows endpoints for individual installations via the command prompt. On a larger scale the agent can be rolled out by script via a group policy. Depending on the service level, our G DATA Security Operations Team will assist you if necessary.

Notifications from the G DATA Agent
The G DATA Agent uses the Windows message service. This can cause the Windows message service to ask you if you still want to continue receiving notifications from the G DATA Agent if no messages have been sent from it for a long time.
You should not disable this under any circumstances. If you disable this, you will no longer receive notifications about potential threats on your system! Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to configure the Windows notification service in a way that this message longer pops up from time to time, but you would still receive important notifications from G DATA Agent.
