Site Offers Computer Users the Ability to Double Check Their Antivirus
Security
GLENDALE, Calif., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Panda Software, one of the
leading developers of virus and intrusion prevention solutions, today
announced the launch of Panda Challenge (http://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
