Collective Intelligence
Panda Security's Collective Intelligence works as an online and real-time database that stores the majority of signature files, keeping them at a minimum on the endpoint. Every Panda user is a sensor for new malware, sending samples back to the cloud. This new approach reduces bandwidth consumption on customers' PCs and provides faster and more comprehensive up-to-date protection.

Anti-Malware Engine
Automatically detects and eliminates viruses, spyware, Trojans, rootkits, bots and other malware before they infect your computer. For 2010, memory consumption is reduced a whopping 80% while still improving file scans, email scans, Internet traffic scans and Instant Messaging traffic. When Malware is located, all traces of clutter left on your machine is removed. New detection technologies include generic signatures and remote heuristic scanning from the cloud, while the Genetic Heuristic Engine combining advanced algorithms to detect new variants of the most dangerous malware families has been improved.

Advanced Protection Against Unknown Threats
Technologies from Panda Security are widely recognized as the most effective against new and unknown malware. The improved detection technologies include generic signatures and remote heuristic scanning from the cloud. Panda's TruPrevent Technologies 2.0 silently analyze the behavior of programs, blocking those that try to damage your PC.

TruPrevent Technologies 2.0
TruPrevent has been improved and is now integrated with the Collective Intelligence platform, increasing the detection rate substantially while decreasing the amount of false positives. This last line of defense blocks zero-day targeted attacks and terminates any malicious activity that has evaded traditional protection systems

Identity Protect
The Identity Theft protection module in the 2010 products has been completely improved with an advanced heuristic scan that detects more identity theft. The Personal Information Filter prevents theft from users PC of credit card numbers. The improved anti-rootkit technology detects and removes silently-installed rootkits used by malware or hackers to evade traditional antivirus products. The anti-phising filter recognizes fraudulent email and protects you from scams while you shop, bank or pay bills online. Finally, the Anti-Banking Trojan Engine detects the most dangerous identity theft malware used by cyber-criminals to steal banking credentials. The combination of all these features ensures you receive the best protection against Identity Theft.

Firewall
The firewall protects you against Internet-borne worms and hacker attacks. Improved smart auto-configuration allows good programs to run while blocking malicious ones. Also improved are the techniques used to shield your PC from hackers on the Web and intrusion prevention blocks against hacker attacks and vulnerability exploits. The Firewall includes Wireless Monitor which protects your wireless network from intruders.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointed with panda, September 22, 2009

By	GameMaker (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

After years of using Norton, I finally wised up and decided to try something else. I bought Panda Global Protection mainly because of a study by one of the PC magazines that showed that it received good marks in terms of being effective against viruses (good, but not the best by the way).

In terms of getting rid of viruses, it's difficult for me to judge that. I guess I don't have any complaints there, but it's everything *else* that I have gripes about.

Fist, like other packages, when you buy global panda, what you are really buying is a one-year subscription. But unlike other packages, the way that they handle that is completely bogus. Not one month after I bought it, they sent me email (and popup spam!) that they had realeased a "new version". Now normally with a subscription, it just updates you to the new version. It automatically downloads, and you just have it. Not Panda! You get a link to their website where you can *buy* it (not even upgrade) for a bunch more money. Bogus!

Secondly, like many people, I enjoy MMO games. Panda seems to be particularly bad with those. Typically I will launch my game, the game will come up full screen, then behind that screen panda will bring up a window asking you if you want to block the game's access. It gives you an option to "always allow it", which I always hit, but a few days later the same darn window will come up. It seems to have an extremely short memory for such things.

The other thing is that when it *does* find a virus, the way it handles that is extremely annoying too. It proudly parades that in front of you, giving you a little popup spam box on your desktop asking you if you want to "disinfect and restore" the infected files that found. The only options you have are "yes" or "cancel". Mainly what I want in this case is for it to discard the offending file. I don't want it to do anything with it other than get rid of it, but that is not an option. And by selecting "cancel" you doom yourself to more popup spam in another day or two. UGH!

It also has problems with some very common websites, like Amazon for example. It presents you with popup after popup saying there the website is possibly fraudulent (it seems to object to doubleclick's ads) and even though you tell it to remember that they are ok, it doesn't, and keeps warning you over and over and over.

Anyway, I think my next antivirus will probably be MacAfee. It seems to be the least annoying and safest of the bunch. Maybe someday Panda will fix these problems and I'll try it again, but until then I can't recommend it.
