NEW PRODUCT FEATURES

Collective Intelligence. Maximum Protection with Minimum Impact.

Panda Security's Collective Intelligence works as an online and real-time database that stores the majority of signature files, keeping them at a minimum on the endpoint. Every Panda user is a sensor for new malware, sending samples back to the cloud.



With Panda 2008 range of products protection was purely based on the users' PCs installed signature file. With the new Collective Intelligence approach Panda 2009 products also send regular queries to the cloud.

• Web navigation, eMail and Instant Messaging (IM). Panda sends queries to the cloud whenever an executable program is received. Keep in mind that it is not very common to receive executables, dll files, etc via this media.





• On-access scan (processes/libraries loaded in memory). How does it work? Imagine that 40 files are loaded in memory; Panda sends a query to the cloud and confirms them to be good ware. A couple of hours later, there are 42 programs uploaded in memory, from which 40 were already loaded and checked before. Panda will ONLY perform the check for the new 2 programs, since the other 40 have been checked before. A minimum PC and bandwidth consumption is used when sending queries to the cloud.





• On-demand scans. Whether is automatic or on-demand, Panda also sends queries to the cloud.

What are the main benefits for the users?

• Faster and better detection rate
• Faster and better disinfection rate
• Minimum PC resources and bandwidth consumption
• Furthermore the community feature of Collective Intelligence provides a full vision and full traceability of the new malware techniques and distribution points. This knowledge allows Panda to continuously improve the protection of its customers.

Identity Theft Protection
The new Anti-Banking Trojans engine detects the most dangerous identity theft malware used by cyber-criminals to steal banking credentials. Specialized heuristics and generic detection techniques ensure maximum protection for online transactions. Furthermore the Anti-Rootkit Technology detects and removes silently-installed rootkits used by malware or hackers to evade traditional antivirus products. The free Panda Anti-Rootkit, used by millions of people around the world, recently won the Editor's Choice award from PC Magazine.



The Anti-Phishing Filter recognizes fraudulent email and protects users from scams while you shop, bank or pay bills online.

Customer Reviews

Rating: - Simple and compact
Installation is easy, although there are a few minor bugs. For example, after you uninstall any previous antivirus software, you need to remove the Panda installation disk before restarting and installing, or it will begin running a DOS scan of the entire system that takes forever. The program is not oversized and runs fast!
Rating: - Happy with purchase, though I did have some problems
Over the years I'd used McAffee, Norton, Panda and most recently ESET NOD32.Found Norton and McAffee too intrusive, plus they'd miss stuff. Had used Panda at work for about 3 years and really enjoyed it, but last year when looking to replace Norton on my computer I couldn't find any deals on Panda (and I had a budget), so I read up and ESET was rated as best by many. Only negative comments I found were regarding customer service.I've since found out those reviewers were so right, their customer ... Read More
Rating: - Slows down and crashes PC
I've been using Panda for about 5 years, and I have never had a virus infection.BUT I've decided to give up on it and go elsewhere.In the last couple of years, I have had an inordinate number of hangs/crashes while using Photoshop, InDesign, or IE, and have to reboot.When rebooting, the programs that show up as hung while shutting down are both Panda functions.I have read a lot of other Panda users have had the same problem.Plus, I had my software set up for automatic renewal, and last year ...

Rating: - One of the worst I've ever experienced
I ordered this product after seeing how cheap it was and how good the reviews were. That was a huge mistake on my part. From the second I installed the product it gave me problems. It froze my computer after restarting several times and slowed it's overall performance, though it's normally an exceptionally fast computer. It also didn't want to update so after several failed attempts to remedy these problems I decided to uninstall the program. That's when my problem got even worse. No matter what I did, ... Read More
Rating: - It didn't work for me
Panda started out fine. It found 5 viruses, unfortunately it couldn't do anything with them. It then asked me if I wanted to continue or finish, continue I said. Panda went and found those same 5 viruses it couldn't do anything with. Would I like to save this report it asked? You bet, just insert a floppy disk it said. This is Panda Pro 2009 asking for a floppy disk. Well I bet when I re-boot we can do some good. Lost that bet, my computer won't even start now. No problem, I remember reading about their ...
