Panda Security - for your security on the Internet

The Spanish software manufacturer Panda Security has specialized in developing security software that goes far beyond the simple antivirus program. In plain language, this means that all aspects concerning your security on the World Wide Web have been included and worked on in the company's repertoire. The result is a variety of programs that will help you stay safe on the Internet. Different licenses, such as Panda Dome Essentials, Panda Dome Advanced, Panda Dome Complete and Panda Dome Premium, offer you the optimal protection to the desired extent. On the other hand, it does not matter whether you purchase the licenses for your private use or for your company. Both areas can be covered primarily by programs such as Panda Dome Complete and Panda Dome Premium.

Is Panda Security's software versatile?

As you probably realize, in some cases a simple antivirus program can help, while in other situations you need a complete solution that truly covers all aspects of data protection and security. For this very reason, the Spanish software company has developed and launched numerous programs that usually include all areas, ideally even as a complete all-round carefree package. Sometimes it is not easy to understand what needs to be taken into account to ensure that your computer systems and the data they contain are optimally protected. For this reason, we will now give you a brief overview of which particularly important areas are covered by Panda Security in terms of your security.

Classic antivirus software

If you are only interested in classic antivirus software, Panda Dome Essentials might be the right choice for you. As you surely haven't missed, countless activities of modern society have shifted to the digital sector, i.e. the World Wide Web. This includes, first and foremost, communication, which today takes place digitally to a large extent. Social media in particular are available for this purpose, in which photos, videos, blog posts, comments and other posts can be shared with people from all over the world. Furthermore, there are countless short message services that can be used both on the home computer and on the smartphone. So, you can see for yourself that modern people are almost always and everywhere dealing with small computers as well as the World Wide Web and are fiddling with various data at all times. The Internet has made many things easier and ensured that communication between people from different countries is straightforward. Nevertheless, there are also risks that make it necessary to use working antivirus software.

Of course, criminal elements also use digital progress for their purposes. The goal is almost always the same: cyber criminals want to obtain your personal data in order to use it against you. In order to make this happen, numerous methods are used against which it is difficult to protect yourself without antivirus software. For example, fake websites are created to trick you into revealing personal information or login details, for example of your online banking profile. In the worst case scenario, cyber criminals then gain instant access to all your accounts and can empty them unhindered. It is also not uncommon for malware or ransomware to be used, which is loaded onto your computer via links, for example. It encrypts all of your data so that you no longer have any access to it. The next step is usually a message stating that your data will only be released if you pay a certain, often high, amount of money to the extortionists. This can be essentially threatening, especially when it comes to particularly important or personal data, such as a company's trade secrets.

Reliable antivirus software, such as that available with Panda Dome Essentials or Panda Dome Advanced, provides real-time protection to ensure that such incidents can be prevented in advance. Fake websites infected with malware or corresponding links are immediately detected and blocked. Of course, you will also receive a notification about the incident so that you can avoid the website in the future. If malware does enter your system, you can manually scan for it and move the affected file to a quarantine area. You then decide what to do with this file.

VPN - Anonymity on the World Wide Web

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, ensures that you can travel anonymously on the net. Panda Dome Premium, for example, offers you an unbeatably secure VPN that allows you to surf the Internet privately and without limits. Now you may wonder what this Virtual Private Network is necessary for, if you don't have anything to hide, right? Don't forget that all your Internet activities can be logged and traced. Third parties are able to use your activities to build up a profile of certain behavioral patterns and then use this data for their own purposes. On the one hand, this can be harmless when it comes to individual advertising offers, for example, but there are also much more dangerous intentions on the Internet. Cyber criminals can also create a behavioral profile of you, which is then used to set particularly devious traps for you in order to obtain your personal data.

A VPN changes your IP address at regular intervals, so it is no longer possible for third parties to create behavioral profiles of you, as there is simply no log data left for them to use.

Cleanup as system optimization

Licenses such as Panda Dome Complete or Premium provide you with a cleaning service, so to speak, which frees your entire system from excess data remnants or data garbage in general. It is not uncommon for this to remain on the hard disk even after a program has been uninstalled. Over time, the amount can increase to such an extent that the system can no longer work properly or even threatens to crash completely. In case you didn't know, the most common cause of data loss is not an external hacking attack, but internal system errors that lead to sudden crashes. Cleanup scans your system for such data junk and removes it completely. This way, your system will remain fast, effective and efficient, minimizing the risk of crashes. Thus, Panda Security not only ensures data protection, but also appropriate data security, always and everywhere.
