Now Employees Get Free Virus Protection at Home, Too

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PANDA SOFTWARE™ LAUNCHES EMPLOYEE ANTIVIRUS BENEFIT PROGRAM

GLENDALE, CA – AUGUST 06, 2003 – Antivirus innovator Panda Software will

now match every one of its corporate and institutional licenses with

another free license at home. Requiring only a new 50-seat commitment,

Panda will grant a full one-year license of the popular Titanium desktop

antivirus product to its clients' employees on a one-for-one basis for

their home use.

"The big customers get all the perks in the software business," said Panda

General Manager Riggs Eckelberry. "We think the rest of us deserve a break.

This is one of half a dozen benefit programs that our small and midsize

customers qualify for every day."

The company says this pilot program, in a limited test, applies to

corporate, educational and governmental sites purchasing more than 50 seats

of Panda's award-winning software. For every seat the institution

purchases, Panda will give away a matching Titanium license. The service is

strictly for employee personal use for a single year only. Full plan

details are available at http://www.pandasecurity.com/matchingseats,

[email protected], or by calling 1-888-472-0880.

Now making a big splash in the US market with market-friendly policies like

this one, European multinational Panda Software says it's all about the

viruses. That's why it updates all its client sites at least once every

day, when other major publishers allow two and even three days between

updates.

Panda was recently awarded the prestigious Reader's Choice award by SC

Magazine, and this spring PC Magazine praised Titanium's rapid updating of

viruses for maximum protection.

The free Titanium service features the same daily virus update that

employees get at work. Benefits include:

• Rapidly detects and eliminates all types of viruses.

• Completely automatic updates against new viruses.

• New UltraFast scan engine: maximum speed, minimum resource use.

• The most advanced antivirus technology for Internet and e-mail.

• Exclusive SmartClean technology: repairs the damage done by viruses.

• Technical Support 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

• Available in 21 languages.
