Advanced Proactive Protection from Viruses, Spyware, and More

Proactive Protection from:

• Malware (Viruses, Trojans, Worms, and other threats)
  BitDefender actively protects your PC from all types of malicious code. Web traffic is filtered even before reaching your browser, for a safe and enjoyable web experience. Messaging and peer-to-peer applications are also monitored to help prevent viruses from spreading.
  
  
• Spyware and Adware
  Based on a comprehensive spyware signature database, BitDefender blocks spyware threats in real-time, before they can damage your system. It also monitors dozens of potential "hotspots" where spyware might act, and checks for any changes made to your system and software.
  
  
• Unknown Viruses
  BitDefender has developed B-HAVE (Behavioral Heuristic Analyzer in Virtual Environments), a new technology designed to detect and block new and unknown threats without the need for an update. By analyzing the behavior of potentially malicious software inside a virtual computer, this technology eliminates false positives and significantly increases detection rates.
  
  
• Hidden Threats (Rootkits)
  BitDefender looks for and removes rootkits, malicious programs designed to control your computer, while staying hidden.
  
  
• Phishing Attacks
  Blocks malicious websites trying to trick you into revealing personal information, such as financial data.

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 Antivirus 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.

Check 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.

Panda Antivirus 2008 can identify fraudulent emails, and prevent you from revealing your bank details, account numbers or other confidential information.

Powerful AntiSpyware

Keeps your PC free from spyware.
Computer slowdowns, annoying and aggressive pop-up ads, sudden changes to your system settings... these are just some of the effects that spyware can have on your PC. The real danger however is that these threats can steal information about your Internet activity and then use it without your knowledge. Panda Antivirus 2008 detects and completely removes spyware and other annoying programs automatically. Safeguard your privacy.

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 accounts. Panda Antivirus 2008 can identify these fraudulent emails, and prevent you from revealing your bank details, account numbers or other confidential information. Panda Antivirus 2008 will keep you safe from these dangerous scams. Bank and shop online with complete peace of mind.

Protection against dangerous websites

Prevents access to websites harboring threats.
Many infections occur simply when you visit a certain web page. Panda Antivirus 2008 recognizes dangerous web pages and prevents you from opening them and becoming infected. This feature is particularly effective against certain types of spyware and online fraud. Surf the Internet safely.

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 Antivirus 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.

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.

Automatic daily updates
Every day more than 2000 new threats appear. But don’t worry. Panda Antivirus 2008 automatically updates at least once a day to keep you permanently protected.

Automatic Health Monitoring and Tune-Ups
Live OneCare continually monitors your computer's health. The Live OneCare health meter gives you a clear, continuous indication of your computer's level of protection and performance. If OneCare detects anything that you can do to improve your computer's health, the service automatically shows you what action to take and gives you a one-click solution.

An automated tune-up function keeps your computer's performance optimized by performing several necessary tasks. Not only does Live One Care automatically scan your computer for viruses -- giving you the ultimate peace of mind -- it also automatically defragments your hard disk to help improve computer efficiency; removes unnecessary files from your computer to increase available hard disk space; checks for changes to your important files as well as new files, then sends you a reminder when it's time to run a back-up; and automatically backs up your files for you if you use an external hard disk.

Continual updates provide you with the latest technology from Microsoft Update to help ensure that your computer is up-to-date with the latest critical security updates from Microsoft. Live OneCare works automatically in the background so that you aren't forced to make sudden, repetitive decisions. For example, the firewall policy is regularly updated to keep ahead of hackers and make sure that your legitimate programs have the Internet access they need, so you don't need to decide which programs to allow or disallow. But if you're worried about a new virus or other threat, you also have the option of checking for updates yourself with a single click.

Better Protection for Small Businesses
Windows Live OneCare helps to protect and maintain work computers, making the managing of workstations easier than ever, thereby giving you more time to deal with the other demands of running your business. Comprehensive, integrated protection for your company's computers includes antivirus, antispyware and firewall features to help protect your computers from viruses, spyware, worms, Trojan horses, hackers, and other threats. The trustworthy "Backup and Restore" feature can automatically back-up your important company files, including most accounting files. And with the software's continual updates, your workstations will always have the latest technology you need, including the latest critical security updates from Microsoft.

With a click of the mouse, your employees can directly scan individual files and folders for viruses, and they can even check attachments that you receive through MSN Messenger for viruses or worms. Live OneCare Backup allows you to copy your important files and settings to CDs, DVDs, or to an external hard disk, while regular back-ups can help you protect your important data from loss due to accidental deletion, viruses, or hardware or software failure. If your team relies on an external hard disk, you can configure Windows Live OneCare to perform an automatic back-up of your important data as part of your regular tune-up. Live OneCare also gives you unlimited free support by phone, online chat, or e-mail for any issues with your subscription.
