• Detects and eliminates other malicious code, including spyware (that compromises confidential data) or dialers (that silently connect to premium rate numbers without your permission).
• As well as detecting malicious code in the memory of the computer, it also looks for these threats in e-mail messages and compressed files.
• Option to remove commercial spyware detected: Activescan Pro includes the option to configure the so called commercial spyware (subgroup of hacking tools) to be removed through a checkbox that will be disabled by default. This software will only be deleted if the user configures it to be removed.
• Updates automatically at least once a day
• Operates online directly from your browser. You don't need to install any software on your computer, simply automatically download the ActiveX control.

Thank you for using ActiveScan Pro. If you have any suggestions on how we could improve it, send them to: sugerencias_as@pandasoftware.es.

How does ActiveScan Pro work

The first time you scan your PC, you'll have to download the ActiveX controls (8 MB). The time it takes to download these can vary between 15 minutes, for a 56 Kbps modem, and 30 seconds, with a 1.5 Mbps connection.

During the process a message is displayed prompting you to confirm you want to download these components, you must accept it to begin using ActiveScan Pro.

As the disinfect option is enabled by default, ActiveScan Pro will delete any malicious code it detects. When the scan finishes, you can check the results through a practical and simple report. If ActiveScan Pro could not disinfect a malicious code, the scan report will allow you to send the infected file to Panda's laboratory, which will analyze the file and offer you a solution to the problem.

Includes a powerful heuristic system which is reinforced with the innovative TruPrevent Technologies, capable of detecting unknown malware.

On-demand protection

ActiveScan Pro is designed to detect and eliminate any malicious code that has got into your computer. However, it does not permanently protect your computer. This function is performed by other Panda products.

Remember that many viruses can delete files or send themselves to the contacts in your address book. To stop these kinds of threats you need a good security program installed on your computer. This solution should offer permanent protection and daily updates to prevent malicious code from getting into your computer.

If you want maximum protection for your computer, install Panda Internet Security 2008, or another Panda security product (Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2008). All of these products have earned wide recognition and numerous awards for their advanced technology, level of protection and ease of use. Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2008 is aimed at home users' and the Panda Internet Security 2008 range is designed to meet the needs of businesses and professionals.

About Microsoft ActiveX technology

ActiveX technology, patented by Microsoft, allows online programs to be run on computers through Internet Explorer. It also allows users to open Word or Excel documents directly through the browser or to scan the entire computer for viruses at a click.

ActiveScan Pro uses this technology to perform its functions. In order to use this tool, all you need is a web browser that supports the execution of ActiveX controls (Internet Explorer 5 or later).

Are ActiveScan controls dangerous? No, they are completely safe. They include a certificate in the name of Panda Security to guarantee the authenticity of the program. What's more, nothing will be run on your computer without your consent, as you will be informed through the browser that ActiveScan Pro is going to be downloaded and run and asked for your permission.
