Detection of unknown viruses

Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 includes the revolutionary TruPrevent Technologies, which complement traditional heuristic techniques to offer greater protection against unknown viruses and threats.

TruPrevent Technologies represent a great step forward in the fight against viruses and threats, as they can anticipate a problem by analyzing the behavior of processes on a computer in order to detect and neutralize unknown threats.

Thanks to TruPrevent, Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 not only detects unknown viruses, but also neutralizes unknown threats that try to enter your computer.

Enabling the behavioral analysis

Follow these steps to enable this protection:

Click Status in the main window.
In the Protection section, click Settings.
Click Unknown threats.
Make sure that the option Enable protection against unknown threats is enabled.
