Panda ClientShield with TruPreventTM Technologies, Pandaâ??s security solution designed to protect workstations from Internet threats, has obtained certification by ICSA Labs, an independent division of Cybertrust, in the Anti-Spyware for Windows XP Professional category.

The test conducted by ICSA Labs laboratories provides a dual-perspective analysis. On one hand, it focuses on the capacity to block the entrance of spyware and, on the other, examines the detection of this type of software once it has become installed on the computer. Subject to different tests during the analysis, Panda ClientShield with TruPreventTM Technologies passed 100% of the test attacks, thereby obtaining the above-mentioned certification.

ICSA Labs certifications formally acknowledge the effectiveness of the software analyzed against Internet risks and threats, in addition to its user protection capacity. Therefore, the Panda Software product certified by these laboratories is guaranteed to protect against spyware both before and after it has installed on a computer.

Spyware detection, category in which Panda ClientShield with TruPreventTM Technologies has obtained certification, is becoming increasingly important due to the fact that this type of malicious software is one of the greatest risks posed by the Internet. Spyware programs gather data relative to the affected userâ??s web surfing habits and preferences.

Panda ClientShield with TruPreventTM Technologies is aimed at workstations in corporate environments. With its low resource consumption and high performance level, this security software is capable of protecting against virus, worms, Trojans and all kinds of malware, in addition to filtering spam, blocking the use of spyware, dialers and other tools normally used by hackers. Administration is simple and fast thanks to the solutionâ??s integration in the AdminSecure console, which considerably reduces update time and, therefore, the risk of your corporate computers becoming infected.

Panda ClientShield includes TruPreventTM Technologies. These technologies, developed by Panda Software, block all types of attacks from unknown viruses and intruders, even when the antivirus hasnâ??t yet been updated.

This certification of Panda ClientShield comes in addition to those received by other products, both corporate and consumer, with respect to detection of viruses and Trojans. In fact, prior to this, Panda ClientShield with TruPreventTM Technologies had already obtained certification in the Client/Server Antivirus for Windows XP Professional and Windows 2003 category.
