Latest generation antivirus

Automatically detects and eliminates all types of viruses
If content is missing from your hard disk, if you have problems starting your computer, or if some of your files are unusable, you can be sure you've been hit by a computer virus. You can be infected just by surfing the Net, downloading a file, or opening an email attachment. There are also the dangers of worms and Trojans which now use new stealth techniques to evade detection.

With Panda Internet Security 2008 you can use the Internet and download or share files in the knowledge that you are fully protected against all types of viruses, worms and Trojans. Forget about infections.

Powerful AntiSpyware

Keeps your PC free from spyware
Computer slowdowns, annoying and aggressive pop-up ads, sudden changes to your PC settings... these are just some of the effects that spyware can have on your computer. The real danger however is that these threats can steal information about your Internet activity and then use it without your knowledge.

Panda Internet Security 2008 detects and completely removes spyware and other annoying programs automatically. Safeguard your privacy.

Panda Identity Protect

Secures your personal data
Whenever you shop or bank online, you have to provide data to verify your identity, such as your account number, credit card number or other ID. This information is sensitive and needs to be protected. The new Panda Internet Security 2008, through the Identity Protect feature, lets you know at any time when this type of data is about to be sent out of the computer so you are in control at all times. Don't let anyone access your data without your permission.

Personal bi-directional firewall

Blocks hackers and intruders.
When you connect to the Internet, many programs try to access your PC. Some of them are not dangerous, such as those that let you update applications you have installed, but others will try to exploit your connection or control your computer. Panda Internet Security 2008 includes a configurable personal firewall to stop intruders and hackers from accessing your PC. Turn your computer into a fortress.

In-depth online scanning
Scan in-depth your PC with TotalScan Pro. The new Panda TotalScan Pro is an online scanner that allows you to periodically scan in-depth your PC seeking any kind of malicious software. It checks system memory and every file in the disk to find any threat such as virus, trojans, worms, spyware, dialers, hacking tools, jokes and security risks.

Make simple automatic backup copies that will let you restore files whenever you need.

Clean out unnecessary components and defragment the disk to optimize performance.

AntiPhishing

Protects against online fraud
Certain emails are designed to trick you into revealing your confidential bank details. They may appear to have been sent from your bank, but they have not. Falling into the trap can be costly: it could give the phishers complete access to your bank accounts. Panda Internet Security 2008 can identify these fraudulent emails, and prevent you from revealing your bank details, account numbers or other confidential information.

Panda Internet Security 2008 will keep you safe from these dangerous scams. Bank and shop online with complete peace of mind.

TruPrevent Technologies

Double protection
Some new threats are able to spread globally in just a few hours. In this time, your PC could be unprotected as your antivirus will not have had time to update. The TruPrevent Technologies included in Panda Internet Security 2008 detect and block these unknown threats, intelligently scanning program behavior. This means your PC will have the reinforced protection it needs. Stay one step ahead of unknown threats.

AntiRootkit
Detects threats that try to hide on your PC
Rootkits can be used to hide threats and prevent them from being detected by security solutions. These threats can then act with impunity on your system. With Panda Internet Security 2008 you won't have any problem, as its reinforced protection system can detect threats that use this stealth technique. Protect yourself from hidden threats.

AntiSpam

Automatic blocking of junk mail
No doubt you often receive emails from unknown or dubious senders. This avalanche of spam is time-wasting and can make it difficult to find the emails you really need to read. The reinforced anti-spam technology in Panda Internet Security 2008 automatically filters junk mail, keeping your inbox free from spam. Rid yourself of the avalanche of junk mail.

Parental control
Restricts access to inappropriate websites
If you're worried about your children accessing violent, pornographic or racist content, or that your employees are wasting valuable time visiting non-work related websites, Panda Internet Security 2008 has the solution. Its content control feature can let you decide what type of web pages each user of a computer can view, with a range of custom filters (child, adolescent, employee...). You decide how the Internet should be used.

Automatic daily updates
Every day more than 2,000 new threats appear. But don't worry. Panda Internet Security 2008 automatically updates at least once a day to keep you permanently protected. Feel safe at all times.

1 out of 5 stars Activation nightmare   August 17, 2008
Terence McArdle (Pittsford, NY USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have a three-user license and was able to activate two of the three quickly and easily. The third activation has taken a lot of typing, retyping, checking the documents I received from Panda. Finally, I checked in with with Panda technical support. No joy there.

Tech support was impentrable. They kept insisting I did not exist as a user depite my sending them my screen grab will all of my registration information.

Looks like it's back to Norton for me, and I've experienced significant slowdown with them in the past.



1 out of 5 stars Beware un-installing Panda   July 18, 2008
ramblinrick (Atwood, TN United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I have had my new laptop only about 3 months. I downloaded a 30 day trial of Panda Internet Security 2008. With 12 days left on the 30 day trial I decided to un-install Panda and try a 15 day trial of Norton Internet Security 2008 to compare the two. BIG mistake. I don't know what Panda took with it on the un-install but my computer was totally wrecked! Running the recovery cd's even failed. I had to send this 3 month old laptop back to the manufacturer for repair. They had to replace the hard drive.I have not used Norton in many years,it used to aggrivate me, But, what i have been reading lately, I think I will go back to Norton. I think it will be a lot safer.


1 out of 5 stars Total disappointment   July 12, 2008

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Ever since I installed Panda Internet Security on my two Dell Computers (4550 Desktop and 620 Latitude), it has been hell. Both the computers have been extremely slow. My homenetworking and printer sharing do not work. I tried to make use of Panda's email customer service. I got a response to my first email but thereafter I do not receive any response. After spending hours, I just have uninstalled the software and have returned it to Amazon. I have decided to go back to MacCafee and hope for better luck.


5 out of 5 stars the best security software   July 7, 2008

I have found this to be the best security software. It is very easy to install and I have had no problems with running it on my pc. I used Mcafee before purchasing panda and had problems with my pc running slow and locking up. No problems with panda and have used it for the past two years.


1 out of 5 stars constant delays executing commands   June 24, 2008
Jorge F. Reynolds
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

With Panda ON, each new web-page 'freezes' for the 1st 10-15 sec; or with typed entries [say, in the Google Box] only the 1st few letters appear, with some of the rest showing up after 15 sec. As I must "skip around" quite a bit, this is driving me up the wall.

I re-boot, immediately turning Panda OFF, and everything works fine [though of course I'm then open to every hacker out there.]

I thought switching to Firefox might help, but the problem continues. My PC does have an early AMD Dual-Core chip but, running XP, is otherwise rather standard

NB: [2 weeks later] Panda's E-Mail Tech Support's apparently a facade that sends out a few 'check-list' answers and then just ignores your follow-ups - this is outrageous, especially as I was consistently understanding & polite toward the hapless employee involved.

They directed I edit Explorer's controls after I reported I use Firefox, blamed the problem on the Spybot I'd told them I added 3 months after the problem began, etc, etc; in other words, they don't even read the mail that they dp deign to answer.

I'll give them this, they did put me on to a special McAfee Clean-Up program, but only after I queried them if that UnInstalled Security Suite might still be causing problems [the 'Clean-Up' didn't help].

So, they've taken my money for software they won't help fix and refuse to answer E-Mails to several addresses. And we're supposed to trust these folks with SECURITY SOFTWARE that can give them unprotected access to the very heart of our PCs? Would you trust a GreenGrocer you see spitting into his fruit display?
