Panda software

The news, resources and utilities on this page are provided by Panda Software. Their free utilities allow you to stay updated on the latest virus alerts and scan and/or check if your computer is protected against viruses.

Panda Software's Virusometer and Virus Map supply real-time information and resources regarding current virus attacks. Panda's Active Scan checks for and eliminates over 90,000 viruses, worms and Trojans from all of your system devices, hard disks, compressed files and all your e-mail folders and also detects spyware. Their anti-virus checker automatically detects if you have any anti-virus software installed on your computer and also checks whether it is up-to-date.

Panda Software's free solutions are easy to understand and use, even for Internet novices and WiredSafety are delighted to recommend Panda Software as an excellent online resource.

Please remember that although online repair utilities and scanners are a great help when you think you may have a problem, they are no substitute for having a fully updated anti-virus solution installed on your machine that you run regularly.
