Panda Anti-virus provides complete and comprehensive protection against a variety of dangers your computer may face as you browse the web. These include malware, spyware, viruses, trojans, worms and rootkits. To do this, Panda Anti-virus has a number of different tools which work together to keep your computer safe from a number of threats.

For example, the Panda USB vaccine. New to Panda Anti-virus’ 2010 version, the Panda USB vaccine keeps your USB drives free of infection, making sure that files on your USB do no damage to your computer.

Panda Anti-virus 2010’s scans are multifaceted. Panda Anti-virus scans e-mails for incoming spam, phishing scams and viruses, and scans all files not only on-demand but also in real-time. This means that whatever time you are using your computer, or for whatever purpose, all downloaded files and emails are checked for potential infection. As well as this, Panda Anti-virus 2010 has an anti-phishing filter to recognise any fraudulent emails that may try to scam you.

Panda Anti-virus’ scans also checks all kinds of instant messaging traffic (including Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger) and all Internet traffic from any browser.

To make sure your computer is also safe from upcoming and new threats, Panda Anti-virus 2010 uses a Genetic Heuristic Engine to detect any new variants of malware which may be intent on damaging your computer. Panda Anti-virus also checks behaviour of programmes to make sure they are not designed to do harm, using TruPrevent Technologies 2.0.

Panda Anti-virus 2010’s firewall makes sure that worms and hackers are kept away from your personal details, keeping your private information just that. A Wireless Monitor protects your wireless connection from being an opening to intruders. This runs alongside anti-rootkit technology, designed to remove secretive and damaging rootkits.

This 2010 version of Panda Anti-virus also has a new anti-banking trojan engine, designed specifically to detect and protect from cyber-criminals and hackers who may want to steal your details whilst you shop online. This means that you can make online transactions without the fear of your information being intercepted or stolen.

Panda Anti-virus 2010 provides a free trial to download so that you can try it out before deciding to buy.
