Is Your AntiVirus Really Protecting You?
Site offers computer users the ability to Double Check their Antivirus
Security
Glendale, CA – September 28, 2004 - Panda Software, one of the leading
developers of virus and intrusion prevention solutions, today announced the
launch of Panda Challenge (www.pandachallenge.com.) PandaChallenge.com is
designed for computer users to double check the performance of their
antivirus solutions. As users take the panda challenge Panda Software
analyzes and repairs damage done to computers for free. A special offer is
also available for those wishing to purchase solutions from Panda Software.
While some companies are offering security fixes for their products the
Panda Challenge allows computer users the ability first hand to see if
their security solutions have really kept their computers virus free. In
exchange for testing their machines, the Panda Challenge, powered by Panda
Software’s ActiveScan, will eliminate any viruses found and repair the
damage as best as possible caused on the infected machine. “Many computer
users get their antivirus solutions when they purchase their computer. As
a result many automatically think their computers are set up properly to
avoid computer viruses and are not aware that there are other solutions
that may protect them better. With this campaign we look to introduce
Panda Software’s Antivirus solutions to computer users who are frustrated
with their current solutions and would like a solution that gives them the
protection they want from an Antivirus company,” said Sarita Stachelrodt
General Manager, Panda Software US.
Panda Software this year also introduced its TruPrevent Technologies.
Already appearing in its 2004 solutions, TruPrevent is designed to detect
unknown viruses. “Fighting unknown viruses has been the desire for many
years now among security companies. This provides our customers the
ability to protect their machine even before the users antivirus company
detects the new virus and updates the users software. Added to all
solutions from Panda Software, TruPrevent stand alone allows an extra layer
of protection for customers who still are not convinced to make a switch
all the way from their current antivirus solution. Anyone however not
certain about how safe and free of computer viruses their computer is
should take the Panda Challenge at www.pandachallenge.com,” said Patrick
Hinojosa, CTO Panda Software US.
