PANDA SOFTWARE OFFERS USERS ITS ‘BASIC VIRUS COURSE’



The course was developed to teach users how to protect computers against

any type of malicious code


GLENDALE, September 29, 2003 – One of the key points in any corporate

security policy, and one which is often overlooked, is the need to train

all network users in IT security.


No matter how advanced the antivirus protection systems installed,

corporate security is at risk if users are ignorant about today’s viruses.

For this reason, Panda Software has created and launched, for both business

and home users, a ‘Basic Virus Course’, aimed at teaching users about

viruses, their origins, their effects, means of transmission and how to

protect against them.


This course has been designed for absolutely any user, whether they are

computer experts or complete beginners. Throughout each of the twelve

chapters of the course, users will be presented a series of animations and

explanations, making the course entertaining as well as highly informative.

The course also includes a series of exercises so that students can self

check their understanding of the basic concepts of the course.


This latest initiative is very much in line with Panda Software’s principle

objective of ridding the planet of viruses. With countless new viruses

appearing everyday, users need to be fully aware of the risks and how to

deal with them. In order to do so, it is necessary to know at least, the

minimum security measures that should be taken, as well as being up-to-date

on the latest developments. Users can learn all this, quickly and simply,

with Panda Software’s ‘Basic Virus Course’.


Companies that want to enhance their IT security policies will find this an

extremely powerful yet simple tool. Similarly, this enjoyable course will

help staff actively contribute, to the organization’s security.
