Panda Software SpyXposer Detects More Than 6 Million Spyware Samples26 April 2006
SpyXposer, Panda Software's free, on-demand online scanner has already detected more than 6 million samples of spyware in 2006. This figure highlights the danger of spyware -- not only infringing on user privacy but also causing problems in computers such as system slowdowns, crashes, etc.
Panda Software dedicates specialized personnel and resources to the fight against this Internet threat, ensuring that all its solutions are highly effective when it comes to detecting and eliminating spyware. SpyXposer is updated every day to detect the most recent spyware programs.
Spyware and adware have become a serious Internet threat over recent months. According to IT Observer(1), 90 percent of computers are infected by this type of malicious code, returning large-scale profits either from the sale of gathered data or through the sending of junk mail.
"This type of malicious code, which has traditionally been a minor concern for users, precipitates reduced productivity, resulting in corporate financial losses," explains Luis Corrons, director of Panda Software's Labs.

Panda Software anti-spyware technology
Panda Software products include technologies capable of combating both known spyware (signature-based detection, filtering of websites designed to distribute spyware), and those that could appear in the future or that have not yet been identified by security companies. To achieve this, Panda Software has developed TruPrevent(TM) proactive detection technologies to detect the presence of spyware simply by analyzing its behavior.
PC World USA acclaimed the effectiveness of Panda Software's anti-spyware technologies, awarding the "Best Buy" seal of approval to Platinum Internet Security in a recent comparative review of anti-spyware products. This product analysis evaluated 11 integrated security suites and dedicated anti-spyware solutions, and Panda Software's technologies proved to be highly effective. The free SpyXposer uses the same technologies to detect all types of spyware.
