Editor's Verdict: Titanium Antivirus 2008 from Panda Software, world leaders in antivirus technology, is our No. 1 choice in this category - and is only superseded by Panda Software's more advanced Platinum Internet Security Suite (read the review for Panda's Platinum Internet Security Suite here). The Titanium Antivirus package uses much the same technology as the Platinum Internet Security suite, with the same antivirus and spyware packages installed, but without the spam prevention, web content filters and privacy control features. As such, Panda's Titanium Antivirus comes at a knocked-down price. So for those of you who want just Antivirus, anti-spyware and firewall protection, then this is the choice for you. The virus definition files for Panda Titanium 2008 are updated daily, so your PC will always be protected from the latest viruses (many other packages only update weekly). The virus definition files are always updated automatically and quickly at the start of each day. In addition to being protected against the latest known virus threats by keeping your virus definition files bang up-to-date, Panda's patented TruPrevent software also protects you from as-yet unknown viruses. This is where Panda's software really stands apart from the competition and is one of the main reasons we rank Panda's Antivirus software so highly in our list... NEW! TruPrevent Technologies: additional protection against unknown viruses and intruders "In order to detect viruses, antiviruses need to have them registered in their Virus Signature Files, and this is why they need to be constantly updated. However, when a new virus appears, it can take a few hours to develop the vaccine to combat it. The problem is that many latest generation viruses, such as Sasser , Netsky or MyDoom , spread almost instantly, infecting thousands of computers even if they have an antivirus installed. As this protection cannot be updated in time, they cannot identify the viruses because they do not have them "on file". Traditional antivirus programs cannot protect against the growing risk of infection from this type of virus. However, for your peace of mind, Titanium Antivirus 2008 incorporates the new TruPrevent Technologies, which automatically detects and blocks unknown viruses and intruders, even before the antivirus has been updated." Naturally, the method by which this technology works is a closely guarded secret. TruPrevent uses artificial intelligence to identify viruses and adds vital protection against new, unknown threats. New viruses spread most quickly in the first few days after being released - before an antiviral vaccine can be developed for your PC, but TruPrevent will help block such unknown threats until a proper vaccine is created. Panda usually prepares and disseminates a proper vaccine within 2 hours, according to their website, which will be automatically downloaded and installed to your PC. Until then, you can rely on TruPrevent to keep your computer safe. NEW! Anti-spyware, anti-dialer, anti-phishing and firewall technology The Titanium Antivirus 2008 from Panda also comes with anti-spyware, anti-dialer, anti-phishing and firewall technology to prevent against hacker attacks. For complete protection and peace of mind, Panda have also bundled these technologies in with their Titanium Antivirus software. Spyware can allow other users to snoop into your files and folders and potentially steal confidential information. Other forms of spyware can snoop on your internet habits and report back on the web pages you visit without your permission. Dialers can re-direct your modem connection to call high-rate toll numbers. While phishing is the name given to techniques used to trick users into giving away confidential information, like their bank details. You get added protection from all these threats with Panda Titanium 2008. The built in firewall prevents any unauthorised programs or users from gaining access to your computer and also prevents any unauthorised programs already on your computer from dialling out. It's easily configurable and very straightforward to use. NEW! "Genetic Heuristic Engine" According to the Panda website "an innovative heuristic engine integrating signature correlation techniques, analyzing typical malware traits and code. Active in critical PC entry points, email and instant messaging." Constantly running in the background this new heuristic engine monitors all forms of incoming traffic on the look-out for viruses and spyware by correlating all incoming information with the traits of known viruses and spyware to analyse for as-yet unknown forms. In monitors all incoming e-mail traffic and also (for those of you who use instant messaging) all incoming instant messenger traffic and files. This is new technology that we have rarely seen elsewhere. Maximum speed, minimum resource use The Titanium Antivirus 2008 scan engine checks all information and barely uses any system resources. As a result, you are protected from danger without even noticing the antivirus running in the background. This is something that few people consider when choosing antivirus software, but is of critical importance. We've reviewed antivirus software that claims to be great, but when you actually install it, it uses so much of your computers memory to run, that it slows your computer down to a virtual crawl! Rest assured, that with Panda Titanium Antivirus software, you won't even know the software is running at all - your PC will run as fast as it usually does. Tech Support 24 hours a day 365 days a year Technical support is always at hand, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for the first year after you buy Titanium Antivirus 2008. This is pretty standard nowadays - few antivirus manufacturers will give you more than a year's free support. The only problem however is that the tech support is only available via e-mail. We would have liked to have seen telephone support being offered too. This is the only negative thing we can say about this package however. Here's what PC World had to say about this product: PC World "Panda Anti-Virus emerged the victor in our virus catching and killing tests. It caught every virus in both our known-virus and heuristics test, and it posted no false positives. While it was not the fastest, it's scan time was still tolerably brief. Panda is also very easy to use, despite out minor annoyance with the registration process."
Panda Titanium Antivirus is easily our No. 1 choice in this category. We found the software very easy to use and install with straight-forward quick start guides to get you up and running in no time at all. Once installed, the Panda Titanium Antivirus software runs invisibly in the background monitoring all incoming traffic - the only time you're likely to know it's there is when it does an automatic update at the start of each day, which typically only takes a few seconds and requires no input from you whatsoever. Viruses and spyware products can be quickly healed, deleted or quarantined when detected. This effectively removes them from your system. The price also makes this product great value for money, especially when compared with other lower-quality products. Click here to check out the manufacturer's page and to buy...
