Panda Security has introduced a line of “ultra-light”, cloud-based consumer security products it says are designed to offer maximum protection with minimum impact.
Based on Collective Intelligence cloud technologies introduced by Panda Security two years ago, the 2010 solutions offer an 80% performance improvement, according to the company.
All of the new solutions also incorporate proven USB vaccination technology to prevent virus infections and spreading vectors commonly used by malware.
The company adds that the 2010 solutions incorporate a heuristic engine and generic signatures; these work both locally and with Collective Intelligence scanning-from-the-cloud to provide a high rate of protection against the newest malware and identity theft Trojans.
The 2010 line includes Antivirus for Netbooks, Panda Antivirus Pro 2010, Panda Internet Security 2010 and Panda Global Protection 2010.
Antivirus for Netbooks, says Panda, offers a consumer solution designed for netbooks, mini laptops and ultra-portables. The offering includes anti-spyware, anti-phishing, anti-rootkits, firewall and identity protection.
Offering protection against viruses, spyware and hackers, the Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 also includes a new engine against identity theft. Users can chat, share photos and videos, bank and buy online, read their favourite blogs or surf the Web with peace of mind offered by the built-in firewall, explains the security giant.
The Panda Internet Security 2010 is a comprehensive suite for all types of online threats including viruses, rootkits, hackers, online fraud, and identity theft. This solution also offers an online backup system with 2GB of free space as well as system recovery tools, states the company. The anti-spam engine ensures user inboxes remain free from junk mail while the Parental Control feature allows children to use the Web safely.
According to Panda, Global Protection 2010 is its most complete solution, protecting users from every type of Internet threat. It also allows users to backup important files to a CD/DVD or online and restore them in case of accidental loss or damage. With the integration of Collective Intelligence, memory consumption, browsing and download speeds have been improved significantly, concludes the company.
