Panda Software has invested all its know-how of consumer IT security in these products. The 2006 products include both TruPrevent(TM) Technologies, whose capabilities have been certified by ICSA Labs, and the most advanced protection against spyware, thanks to the integration of a range of technologies. These technologies, which have now been further enhanced, were described in PC Magazine's review of Platinum 2005 as "one of the most successful security suites when it came to cleaning and detecting spyware." Given its track record and experience in this field, Panda Software has recently joined the Anti-Spyware Coalition (ASC), an international organization coordinating the fight against this threat and is also a member of the Anti-Phishing Working Group -APWG.

The very latest cybercrime threats -- including phishing and online fraud -- are also dealt with by the 2006 product range.
