Glendale, CA - October 21, 2004 - Panda Software makes available today beta
versions of Titanium Antivirus 2005, Platinum Internet Security 2005 and
TruPrevent Personal 2005, three new solutions aimed at protecting the IT
systems of home users, professionals and small businesses.
Panda Software’s new 2005 antivirus solutions represent a dramatic
technology advancement in the battle against computer viruses and threats.
Panda Software’s unparralled TruPrevent Technologies, the most intelligent
technologies to combat unknown viruses and intruders, replace the
traditional concept of reacting to new viruses with a new approach instead
based on intelligently preempting the virus, anticipating the problem. This
means they can block new generation viruses such as Sasser or Mydoom that
infected thousands of computers in just a few minutes.
Titanium Antivirus 2005 and Platinum Internet Security 2005 include Panda
Software’s new TruPrevent Technologies. TruPrevent Personal 2005 is a
solution designed for users with other manufacturers’ antivirus products
installed who want a second line of defense like that provided by the
TruPrevent Technologies, making it the essential complement to any
antivirus protection.
The combination of traditional security systems and antivirus protection
with the new TruPrevent Technologies creates a new benchmark in levels of
security against unknown viruses and intruders. Just like a good detective,
TruPrevent Technologies analyze suspicious behavior in programs and
automatically and intelligently block them with no need for human
intervention and without having to ask users any questions. This
characteristic also makes the new technologies simple to handle, making the
solutions even more user-friendly.
Titanium Antivirus 2005, Platinum Internet Security 2005 and TruPrevent
Personal 2005 include the following TruPrevent Technologies:
- Behavior-based virus detection. Detection and blocking of unknown worms
and Trojans on the basis of analyzing the behavior of processes executed on
the computer. This involves monitoring any processes that are launched, and
blocking them if they are dangerous. This technology makes it possible to
stop infections like those caused by malware such as BugBear, Nimda, Klez,
SirCam, or LoveLetter, even if these have not previously been identified.
- Malicious network packet detector. This technology is able to detect and
block packets with malicious content whenever they attempt to enter or
leave a network computer. It also protects services against attempts to
exploit vulnerabilities, acting as a complement to other technologies. This
would have prevented epidemics such as those caused by SQLSlammer, Code Red
or Sasser.
- Buffer overflow protection. These vulnerabilities are now common in many
applications and they are one of the most widely-used ways of launching
attacks against IT systems. Such attacks are based on over-running part of
the memory used by the application with more data than it can hold. So once
attackers know the quantity of data needed to overflow the buffer, they
overrun the memory with executable code containing the attack code.
TruPrevent Technologies protect against this kind of vulnerability.
- Definition of security policies. These are applied to the programs
running on the computer and block access to certain resources.
PLATINUM INTERNET SECURITY 2005
Based on the most advanced technologies, Platinum Internet Security 2005
protects the Internet connections of small businesses and professionals
against viruses, worms, Trojans, hackers, spyware, spam and dialers and
thanks to TruPrevent Technologies, it can also detect unknown viruses and
intruders.
Platinum Internet Security 2005 automatically scans inbound and outbound
email, file downloads and web pages visited. Its Ultrafast scan engine
exhaustively scans information with a minimal drain on system resources.
This is complemented by SmartClean2 technology to repair the damage
inflicted by virus attacks.
Thanks to its latest generation personal firewall, Platinum Internet
Security 2005 keeps out hackers and the malicious programs they use,
turning computers into a fortress against all IT threats.
Platinum Internet Security 2005 protects user privacy with its anti-spyware
technology, blocking programs that snoop on users’ Internet habit in order
to target them with spam or even steal confidential data like passwords.
What’s more, it neutralizes dialers, programs which redirect modem
connections to premium rate toll numbers without the user’s permission. In
addition, its effective anti-spam system will prevent inboxes from being
saturated with junk mail, and its web content web content filter stops
users from accessing inappropriate or time-wasting content online.
TITANIUM ANTIVIRUS 2005
Titanium Antivirus 2005 offers the highest levels of protection against
Internet threats without straying from its “install and forget” philosophy.
The new Titanium Antivirus 2005 not only automatically eliminates all types
of viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, dialers, hacking tools, and jokes, but
also blocks unknown viruses and intruders thanks to TruPrevent
Technologies.
What’s more, its innovative firewall technology allows the new Titanium
Antivirus 2005 to automatically block hacker attacks.
Titanium Antivirus 2005 protects inbound and outbound email, file downloads
and web pages visited without the user noticing its presence, and like
Platinum Internet Security 2005, it includes the Ultrafast engine, offering
exceptional performance and SmartClean2 technology to repair the damage
inflicted by malicious code
TruPrevent Personal 2005 is aimed at all users with the antivirus products
from companies other than Panda Software, as it is compatible with the most
important products on the market. For this reason, users don’t need to
change their antivirus to benefit from the most intelligent technologies to
combat unknown viruses and intruders.
Titanium Antivirus 2005, Platinum Internet Security 2005 and TruPrevent
Personal 2005 update at least once a day. This process is automatic while
users are connected to the Internet.
The beta versions of Titanium Antivirus 2005, Platinum Internet Security
2005 and TruPrevent Personal 2005 can be downloaded free of charge from
http://www.pandasoftware.com/beta. The final release versions of these
three products will be available soon.
