Panda Security has announced that its collaboration agreement with Facebook to protect the digital lives of users of the popular social networking site will extend its reach six months after its launch.
Facebook’s AV Marketplace will now allow users to enjoy Panda Security’s malicious URL protection in six languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese), increasing the scope of the initiative.
Since the start of the promotion, Facebook users have carried out over 10,000 activations of
Panda Internet Security 2013’s free six-month version.
“We’re extremely happy with the results obtained from our collaboration with Facebook. This joint initiative against malware has been extremely well received by users,” explains Jeremy Matthews, country manager for Panda Security.
Panda Internet Security 2013 is specifically designed to protect users’ identity while using social networking sites and other Internet services thanks to its powerful URL filtering engine and safe browser module. Additionally, it can encrypt and password-protect private files and folders to prevent the theft of personal, banking and financial data or valuable multimedia content.
Panda Internet Security 2013 also includes Identity Protect, a module that provides anti-phishing protection, data leak prevention, and anti-dialler protection against unauthorised charged calls.
Also, it delivers realtime protection against known and unknown threats by harnessing the knowledge and experience of millions of users through Panda’s unique cloud-based Collective Intelligence technology.
Every day, PandaLabs receives nearly 206 000 new files, 73 000 of which are new malware strains that Collective Intelligence automatically analyses, classifies and remedies in 99,6% of cases.
These technologies gather information on malware received from each computer to continuously improve protection levels for the worldwide Panda community. The 2013 product line leverages this huge knowledge base, offering users a more rapid response to the newest and most dangerous malware attacks.
