Don’t mess with this giant Panda®

Panda Internet Security SL 2012 has recently been proven to have “good antivirus protection”, according to tests.

Panda Software, which changed its name to Panda Security SL, is a security software company for computers. It started out with only a few antivirus applications, but now it has extended its range to include a variety of software like spam and spyware detection solutions, firewall applications, protection against cyber crime and other system security tools for corporate and domestic users.

Tests carried out by AV-Test.org and AV-Comparatives.org, revealed that Panda Security SL attained the no. 3 spot in comparison to the other 21 antivirus products who were part of the test.

These tests were carried out to ascertain the efficiency of the products in regard to protecting the machine against malicious threats that can be picked up while browsing the Internet.

There are only four security solution software that attained more than 15 points, of which, one is Panda Internet Security. The other three are- F-Secure, Internet Security; Kaspersky, Internet Security and BitDefender: Internet Security Suite. Don’t be surprised, the industry is as dynamic as technology itself.

According to this test, BitDefender got the highest number of points and hence the top spot. And Kaspersky, a close second.

Andreas Marx, chief executive officer of AV-Test.org, said: “We do not only focus on protection, but also on repair and usability aspects … and in all tested areas, Panda Internet Security scored five points or higher out of a maximum number of six points.”

Symantec, which is the largest manufacturer and supplier of security software and solutions, recently claimed that no antivirus software can keep pace with the most recent threats, as new viruses, Trojans and other malware is created and spread every few hours.
