Panda beta of Vista-compatible Internet Security 2007

Panda Software has launched the Windows Vista-compatible beta version of Panda Internet Security 2007.  It’s available at http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/beta/particulares/P07.htm. Current Panda Internet Security 2007 customers will get the complete version for free when it becomes available.

In the consumer range, Panda Software already has a beta version of Panda Antivirus+ Firewall 2007 and a full version of Panda Antivirus 2007 which are Vista-compatible.

The new Panda Internet Security 2007 beta version protects both Windows Media Center and Windows Tablet PC.

Another innovation is the backup system it offers, which enables users to make security copies of files and folders in the system and restore them when necessary.  The Panda Internet Security 2007 backup wizard allows easy decision-making as to what to save and how often.

“With the backup service in Panda Internet Security 2007, Panda Software improves even more its home security suite and meets users’ needs for an integrated security solution”, explains Jaime Herrero-Velarde, Director of Consumer Marketing at Panda Software.

The automatic blocking of websites that contain spyware or those aimed at phishing (online fraud) is another advantage of this beta version.  In this way, the threat is stopped before it reaches users.

Rootkits are programs used by cyber-crooks to conceal the processes of malicious codes and make their detection more difficult for security solutions.  However, this beta version includes a rootkit detection system, which marks the rootkit-infected files and those associated to hidden processes as malware and deletes them.

Panda Software has created the “Windows Vista Information Center”, where users will find information about the compatibility of Panda Software products with the new operating system. They will also be able to download the new Panda Internet Security 2007 beta version and other Vista-compatible Panda products.

Panda Software also has Vista-compatible solutions for companies: Panda ClientShield, designed to protect corporate network workstations and the new beta version of Panda AdminSecure 2007, its new management console for IT resources.

The beta area lets you access official versions of the programs in the final stage of development. The beta versions offer users the chance to carry out functionality tests to identify possible problems. At the same time it offers Panda Software a vehicle for gathering suggestions and users’ needs.
