Panda ActiveScan

Features: This version of its online scanner can detect and eliminate viruses, worms and Trojans and can also root out spyware and applications that can gather personal information about the computer user, such as the information stored on the PC, web pages viewed, passwords, etc. These malicious programs can then send this data out to third parties, such as advertising companies.






The new Panda ActiveScan also includes the Genetic Heuristic Engine, a new heuristic detection technology from Panda Software integrating correlation of digital genetic signatures and deep code inspection in an algorithm that analyzes the code and characteristic DNA strings of the malware.





During the first 24 hours in which the new Panda ActiveScan (available at www.pandasoftware.com) was operating, 84 percent of malware detected was spyware and the first 74 most detected malicious code were all spy programs, informed officials at Panda Software.
