Panda Software Releases New Beta Versions
Panda Software makes available 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 unparalleled 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
