A Look at Panda Antivirus Pro 2009
Overview
Panda’s Antivirus Pro 2009 takes anti-virus protection seriously and includes protection against other Internet threats such as worms, rootkits, Trojans, bots, spyware, and other malicious programs.
Features
Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 is Panda’s entry-level product in their lineup offering excellent protection against viruses and spyware. In addition to protecting you from malware, this product also helps protect your identity by using anti-phishing filters, anti-rootkit technology, and anti-banking Trojan tools.
Panda includes a personal firewall for blocking worms and hackers as well as a wireless monitor that guards your wireless network from harm.
While most computer users now know better than to open strange e-mail attachments, many are fooled into thinking that their instant messages are a safe way to communicate. Unfortunately, computer viruses and malware are often transmitted via instant messaging systems. Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 provides protection for Yahoo Messenger, AOL Traffic, Windows Live Messenger, and MSN Messenger.
The Advanced Proactive Protection provided by this antivirus utility uses a variety of technologies to analyze and detect known and brand new threats.
Benefits
Panda’s Antivirus Pro 2009 provides more than just protection from computer viruses - it protects against malware, rootkits, instant messaging threats, keyloggers, worms, bots, and more. In addition, with its built-in firewall, worms and hackers effectively blocked from entering your computer. Further, wireless home networks are secured with the included Wi-Fi monitor. Computer users can confidently go about their business knowing that the Panda software is actively protecting them from phishing attempts and spyware.
Once installed, Panda Antivirus 2009 runs smoothly in the background with little user intervention required. Real time protection ensures that computer viruses and spyware are stopped in their tracks.
How it works
Panda Antivirus 2009 uses a “collective intelligence” approach where all users become part of a real-time online database, contributing information about malware as it’s discovered. This collective intelligence provides fast, up-to-date protection while using minimal computer resources.
This antivirus utility comes in several different length subscriptions with a six month option as well as the more traditional one, two, and three year subscriptions. Each subscription is good for up to three home PCs.
