Malware" means "malicious software" - viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, and adware - with varying degrees of potential, but all of them are undesirable. "Phishing", on the other hand, is a fraudulent attempt to collect sensitive personal, or financial, information, conducted by unscrupulous individuals, or organized groups. Panda Antivirus, thankfully, provides maximum automatic protection against all forms of malware and hacking, with a strengthened security model that is surprisingly light on system resources.
Benefits of Panda Antivirus Features
Panda Antivirus has a new, and exclusive security model - known as "MegaDetection" - to provide protection against more than 1,000,000 known viral threats. In addition, viruses attempting to hide from the operating system, or other virus protection software, by operating at a low level - in so-called "stealth" mode - can be detected, and eliminated. Even so-called "rootkits", the most advanced of hidden threats, cannot avoid detection. Therefore MegaDetection offers a much higher level of protection than some other antivirus protection programs. In addition, the "heuristic" approach means that, even if the definition of a virus, or signature, does not exist, suspicious activity - indicating a potential viral infection - can be isolated, and prevented. Virus protection extends to file attachments in email messages, and incoming files from other sources.
Spyware is another form of malware that can cause frustration and anxiety for computer users. Spyware usually hijacks, or alters, Internet browser settings, redirects users to websites from which various scams are committed, and can cause computers to perform poorly, or erratically. In the worst cases, spyware can also try to harvest, for example, bank accounts, or credit cards, details used for fraudulent purposes, including "identity theft". Panda Antivirus identifies and removes all forms of spyware, along with related effects, such as tajir entries in the Windows registry, so that your computer continues to function correctly, and is safe.
Phishing is a potentially much more destructive activity, if a computer user is "tricked" into revealing, or he or she, financial details to fraudsters. Suspicious, or dubious, email messages, and websites are immediately recognized by Panda Antivirus - as is the case with the presence of other potentially dangerous items, such as "rogue" Internet dialers - so that any form of financial transactions can be carried out with full confidence.
