Megadetection’s virus detection capacity

Nowadays, most people think that all antiviruses offer the same protection. This is simply not true, as effectiveness varies greatly from one product to another.
In fact, having an antivirus is not enough to be completely protected. Not even complete security suites, with antivirus, anti-spyware and a personal firewall in a single solution can combat the increasing numbers of complex computer threats.
Bear in mind that 1 out of 5 computers with an antivirus installed and up-to-date are infected (www.infectedornot.com). And over 3,000 new threats and viruses appear every day…
What's more, new stealth techniques, rootkits…, used by the new malware, can slip past antivirus systems. Leaving users unaware that their PCs are actually infected…
The solution has been to develop a new security model: MEGADETECTION, which is based on four pillars that allow it to detect and eliminate more than two million viruses and other threats.
How is this possible?

Thanks to Collective Intelligence, a technology that increases detection capacity in all of our solutions.
Collective intelligence leverages the information provided by the user community. It also rapidly and automatically differentiates between malware and goodware and this information is available to users in real-time through Web services. This maximizes detection capacity and mitigates the limitations of signature-based detection.
Viruses and other threats detected by Panda solutions

Megadetection detects and deletes more than two million viruses and other types of threats. Including a signature file comprising so many malicious signatures in a traditional antivirus is not feasible. Users need to scan their computers in-depth from time to time with TotalScan Pro. This increases the security level and ensures optimum system performance.
The four pillars of Megadetection
The security model offered by Panda Security is based on four pillars that guarantee detection of more than two million viruses and other threats, offering levels of protection far higher than other security solutions.
1+2+3+4 PERMANENT PROTECTION Daily automatic updates and continuous product improvements provide permanent security against traditional Internet threats.
1+2+3+4 PROACTIVE PROTECTION TruPrevent Technologies detect and block unknown threats, intelligently scanning potentially dangerous program behavior.
1+2+3+4 IN-DEPTH ONLINE SCANNING The exclusive technologies in Panda TotalScan Pro allow periodic in-depth scanning, to detect and delete the most sophisticated threats that can slip past traditional protection. This innovative technology leverages information obtained via the Internet through collective intelligence, which is contrasted in our PandaLabs research center and made available to users.
1+2+3+4 24h -365d TECHNICAL SERVICES Specialized 24h-365d technical services, via email or at www.pandasecurity.com to resolve any problems our users might have.
