Panda Security officially launched its 2010 product lines available for home users and professionals. The four new, ultra-light 2010 consumer solutions are: Panda Antivirus for Netbooks, Panda Antivirus Pro 2010, Panda Internet Security 2010 and Panda Global Protection 2010, all of which are designed to offer maximum protection with minimal impact on PC performance.

These four new products all feature an 80 percent performance improvement from previous versions that also delivers 60 percent improved browsing speed and 40 percent improved download speeds over earlier versions consuming only 8MB of memory. This is mainly because of Panda’s innovative cloud technology that is based on their Collective Intelligence, first launched by Panda Security in 2007.

All of Panda’s 2010 solutions incorporate a brand new heuristic engine and generic signatures that provide the highest and most advanced proactive protection against the newest malware and identity theft Trojans. Its improved TruPrevent technology also acts as a last line of defense that blocks and terminates attacks and any malicious activity that may have evaded traditional protection systems. In addition, Panda’s 2010 solutions protect your USB drives with a proven USB vaccination technology that prevents virus infections and spreading vectors. Also, another new feature available in all four solutions is the Anti-Banking Trojan Engine which can detect the most dangerous identity theft malware used by cyber-criminals to steal banking credentials.
