Panda Software is launching its new consumer solutions: Panda Antivirus+Firewall 2007 (the new Titanium) and Panda Internet Security 2007 (the new Platinum).
These solutions have been developed with a dual objective: adapting to
the protection needs and technical requirements of all types of users
and offering the best protection against cyber-crime, in particular
identity theft and online fraud. These two solutions complete the new
consumer product range from Panda Software, after
the recent launch of Panda Antivirus 2007, the most complete protection
for home users against viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, etc, as well
as against new theft-oriented threats.
There is now a new
Internet threat panorama: the creators of viruses and other malicious
code are looking to profit directly from their activities. Even though
users may perceive a sense of greater security given the lack of
widespread alarm caused by viruses, worms or Trojans, there is actually
now much more malware than before. The problem is that it is designed
specifically to go unnoticed by users (using rootkits, banker Trojans,
etc.) and we are now witnessing silent epidemics. So, many users could be the victims of identity theft or fraud without realizing. To counter the risks presented by this new cyber-crime scenario, proactive technologies are needed.
The
new 2007 solutions from Panda Software integrate a series of reactive
and proactive technologies. These include the award-winning TruPreventTM Technologies, which automatically counteract new, unknown threats, blocking them without users having to intervene.
The new 2007 solutions have also been designed
specifically not to affect the performance of the computer. To this
end, not only are they optimized to prevent a drain on system
resources, but they also adapt to the characteristics of the PC and the
specific security requirements of the user.
Users can choose between three installation formats:
• the default installation automatically detects the characteristics of the computer and configures an optimum installation for each specific case.
• the
customized installation recommends the components to install on the
basis of the characteristics of the user's computer, although users can
decide for themselves exactly what they want to install.
• the
minimum installation automatically detects the characteristics of the
computer and installs the minimum protection for it to operate without
affecting performance.
International surveys show that many users have two
or more computers at home. With this in mind, Panda’s solutions are one
step ahead of the security market, as the product price includes protection for 2 (Panda Antivirus 2007) or 3 PCs.
The complete new range
The presentation of the two latest solutions
completes the Panda Software 2006 consumer range This includes the
following products
Panda Antivirus 2007 combines a range of proactive and reactive threat detection technologies to provide the most complete protection for home users against viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, etc, as well as against new theft-oriented threats. The new Panda Software solution combines antivirus, anti-spyware and anti-phishing
technologies with the Genetic Heuristic Engine, a new generation
heuristic scanner that detects and blocks unknown threats more
effectively than traditional heuristics and with an extremely low rate
of false positives. Panda Software’s heuristic technology has been
highly acclaimed by leading IT experts such as PC World and Andreas
Marx of AV-Test.org.
Panda Antivirus+Firewall 2007 (the new Titanium)
protects permanently and automatically against all types of Internet
threats, offering a double layer of protection thanks to the proactive TruPreventTM Technologies,
which detect previously unknown malware. It also keeps hackers out of
computers thanks to the integration of the Panda Firewall.
Panda Internet Security 2007 (the new Platinum) is
a complete security suite, turning computers into fortresses against
Internet threats. It not only protects against all types of viruses
and spyware, but also includes anti-spam and anti-phishing technologies
along with parental control and the Panda Firewall. In addition, it
incorporates a specific technology designed to prevent identity theft:
Identity Protect. This technology has been created specifically to
prevent theft of personal or confidential data, guaranteeing maximum
security for users on the Internet.
The new products include the services that accompany
all Panda Software solutions: automatic updates several times a day,
Tech Support 24h-365d via Internet or email and 24h-SOS Virus service
to analyze suspicious programs.
