Sending suspicious files

 

This is one of the services included in Panda Antivirus Pro 2010. To be able to use it you must have previously activated the product. If you have already done so, you can send us any suspicious files or files that cannot be disinfected at this moment (new viruses, etc.).

 

It is advisable to ensure you have this file under control and isolate it from the rest. By doing this, if the file is actually infected, you will prevent it from infecting the rest. This is why the Quarantine exists. Through this section you can isolate all suspicious files. For more information about the Quarantine, or about how to quarantine files, consult the Quarantine section in this Help.
