Panda Security will be launching its new 2008 consumer product line comprising Panda Antivirus 2008, Panda Antivirus+Firewall 2008 and Panda Internet Security 2008 in South Africa at Futurex Cape Town (26-28 September). The new solutions have a far greater detection and disinfection capacity as they are based on the new security model, megadetection, allowing them to detect and disinfect more than one million threats.
The new 2008 consumer solutions from Panda Security include a series of enhancements to detection technologies, says Jeremy Matthews, CE of Panda Security South Africa. Apart from a larger signature file, Panda products feature more efficient behavioral detection thanks to the intelligent TruPrevent Technologies. They also include new rootkit location and disinfection technology and support and technical assistance improvements.
All 2008 consumer products allow users to scan their computers in depth with TotalScan Pro. The online application detects all types of active and latent malware on PCs, based on the new collective intelligence approach. This approach includes automated processing of large quantities of information about programs and files in a new infrastructure managed by PandaLabs, and real-time communication with users computers. This way, the malware scanning and detection is performed on Panda Security’s servers, not on the user’s computer.
The solutions also include a technology that allows them to detect infection attempts from web pages. They can detect if scripts (sections of malicious code written in languages like JavaScript and designed to exploit vulnerabilities on computers) hosted on web pages are trying to infect the user’s system. Should this occur, Panda’s solutions warn users that their security is at risk and that they must leave the web page.
The new solutions are easy to manage and include three licenses to adapt to the fact that many users own more than one computer.
