Security Software Products
Glendale, CA - September 23, 2004 - Panda Software, a leading developer of
virus and intrusion prevention solutions, has announced an agreement with
Mailshell, the OEM anti-spam leader, to integrate Mailshell’s anti-spam
engine into Panda’s enterprise and personal security software products. The
millions of Internet users who depend on Panda for protection from
intrusion, viruses, spam and other malicious code will now join those users
worldwide who currently rely on 'Powered by Mailshell' products to filter

which optimizes, compiles and executes more than 300,000 checks to
determine if a message is spam or not, conducting thousands of simultaneous

flexible, complete decision tree with an automatically self-tuning
intelligent engine, Mailshell is able to consistently generate highly
accurate results in recognizing spam.
“Our customers around the world require a spam filtering solution that
integrates intelligently with our layered defenses against blended attacks
of viruses, spam and other malicious code,” said José María Hernandez, VP
International Expansion at Panda Software. “The integration of the
Mailshell anti-spam engine will guarantee our clients receive the best
protection against junk mail.”

fastest growing technology companies in Europe,” said Tonny Yu, president
and CEO of Mailshell. "Panda’s numerous awards and rapidly expanding
worldwide customer base are testament to its excellence and growth
