Panda Software products: peace of mind guaranteed

Panda Software has invested all its know-how of consumer IT security in these products. The 2006 products include both TruPreventTM Technologies, whose capabilities have been certified by ICSA Labs, and the most advanced protection against spyware, thanks to the integration of a range of technologies. These technologies, which have now been further enhanced, were described in PC Magazine USA’s review of Platinum 2005 as “one of the most successful security suites when it came to cleaning and detecting spyware”. Given its track record and experience in this field, Panda Software has recently joined the Anti-spyware Coalition (ASC), an international organization coordinating the fight against this threat.

The very latest threats are also dealt with by the 2006 product range. Both Titanium and Platinum include detection of WiFi intrusions, an increasing threat to today’s users, and one which could allow malicious users to use the network fraudulently or steal confidential information. Another serious issue over the last few months has been phishing or online fraud, and this is also dealt with by the protection offered by the new retail solutions from Panda Software (member of the Anti-Phishing Working Group -APWG-). These solutions include new probabilistic and HTML analysis detection methods, as well as, in the case of Platinum, Web filtering techniques, improving efficiency and reducing false positives to a minimum.
