Is gdata internet security any good?

there is a new report from http://www.av-comparatives.org/

GDATA scored extremely high

I personally downloaded it (quite a large download!) and casually glanced around but nothing really stood out.

Gdata runs a new cloud anti-virus, what this does is puts multple Anti-virii programs together, takes all common definitions in a database and the uncommons in there own database to track more virii at a time. This is the only way to effectively protect the PC because instead of anti-virus conflicts (1 says this files a virus, and the other saying no it's not and then your PC doesn't do anything with it, this new cloud will say yes it is a virus, verify it's database, see if more tools thinks it's a virus and then cleans it) it is suppose to be the best way to protect PC's now, very new program that was created to improve all computers online. there was a big story about it on the web on how it works and why it's the best. I have not tried it myself but I did read the article and do see this as the future of security protection online.
