Antivirus "Panda": the most modern methods of protection

Today, in terms of protecting computer systems from the penetration of viruses and all sorts of malicious codes and programs, a large number of professional packages have been created that provide comprehensive prevention of cyber attacks. One such is the antivirus "Panda" (in the English version - Panda). What it is and how it works, we now consider.

What is Panda?

So, among the major versions of the package can be found as a paid antivirus, which has a very serious set of security features, and a free, so-called "Panda" free antivirus, which does not require official registration or purchase.

Registration refers to a trial version, which is shareware. That is, the user can try it out for a short period of time before deciding on the appropriateness of purchasing the full version.

As it is probably already clear, the free version has several truncated possibilities, although it basically uses the same principles of work and protection as the commercial one.

"Panda" antivirus trial

As for the trial version, it, like the other software products of the developer, is primarily focused on the use of the so-called "sandbox" (Sandbox), which puts all available or potential threats.

In fact, the "sandbox" itself is a "cloud" store, where the virus or malicious code is analyzed. In other words, the virus does not penetrate the computer, but is immediately isolated, naturally, not on the hard drive in the quarantine zone, but on the remote server. In this respect, the antivirus "Panda" is quite an interesting package.

In addition, as feedback from users says, the Pro package is able to protect not only Windows-systems, but also "poppies". And the most interesting thing is that when you register a license after a 30-day trial period, you can use it for three computer terminals at the same time. In addition, the Pro version differs in that it allows you to select actions when a threat is detected. This antivirus "Panda" is radically different from the free freeware version.

Free, simplified version

Now a few words about the freely distributable package. Very often this program is called the term "set-and-forget". The thing is that the antivirus "Panda" of this modification works independently of the user. That is, if a threat is detected, the program decides to isolate it independently.

As already mentioned above, and the possibilities for this version is slightly smaller. Nevertheless, it uses the same "cloud" technology and is a powerful enough protection for any Windows-system.

"Panda" antivirus: reviews

In conclusion, let's look at some reviews about the antivirus package Panda, so to speak, in general terms.

As for the latest version of the Pro 2015, many users note the fact that the registration does not look very complicated. But here are two points that somewhat spoil the overall impression:

• A constant reminder of how many days remain until the end of the trial period;
• The license operates only half a year (more precisely, 180 days).

As a rule, antivirus packages of this level represent, if not lifelong, then at least a longer registration with all the ensuing consequences.

After all, what happens? After the expiry of the 180-day period, it is simply impossible to update the program modules or anti-virus databases without renewing the registration. Even the same NOD32 updates the signature base for viruses.

In general, the reviews of corporate users (and the Pro version in most cases is designed specifically for this application) look quite flattering. The most important thing that is noted is the absolute impossibility of penetrating the threat not only to a separate terminal, but also to other computers tied into a single local network. Among other things, the built-in firewall looks rather interesting, which, unlike most similar ones, excludes the emergence of direct conflicts with the "native" Windows firewall.

Well, as for the free version, reviews are such that users simply can not get enough of themselves. The matter is that they do not need to think what to do with any component - the program works automatically, and this happens only when necessary. This means only that it does not in any way burden the system resources, constantly referring to memory as a background process. In general, virtually all users of any level in one voice say that the antivirus "Panda" to date is not only one of the best, but also the most promising in the development of "cloud" protection technologies.
