Guide Review - Platinum Internet Security 2005
Despite all this, some antivirus products still offer only weekly detection updates.
Panda updates Platinum Internet Security at least daily - and more often than that if needed. So you know that when you logon to the Internet, you have the most current protection possible against today's worms, viruses and Trojans and not simply last week's threats. And Panda's TruPrevent technology helps stop malware that hasn't even been discovered yet - tests from both ICSA Labs and AV-Test.org confirm TruPrevent's effectiveness.
During the Zotob Internet worm outbreak, Panda was one of only a small handful of vendors capable of heuristically detecting the worm - even without signature updates.
Panda excels at spyware detection and removal. In tests we conducted in July 2005, Panda's Platinum Internet Security 2005 stopped 92% of the active adware/spyware processes and removed 100% of all BHOs and Toolbars installed by the adware and spyware.
