Panda Protection Service

Panda Protection Service gives you peace of mind as you surf the web because it offers protection from threats like spyware and viruses.

While there are hundreds of similar programs available on the market, Panda Protection Service is one of the easiest to use. Unlike other programs that ask you to download a lot of other tools, this one comes with everything you need in one simple package. Not only will it protect you, but it will also keep your kids safe. It does a great job of notifying you about potential problems and ensuring that your computer remains safe.

Panda Protection Service comes with a simple scan tool that scans all files on your computer for possible threats. Though scans can take longer than you expected, the program will show you what threats it found, the number of files scanned, how many threats it blocked and how much data it recovered from those infected files. It also comes with data shield and personal firewall features that you can turn on and off.

Other optional tools that you can turn on and off include USB protection and online backup. With online backup, the program will keep a record of your bookmarks and most-visited sites that it retains for your use later. If you transfer files with a USB hard drive, you'll want to use the USB protection feature to examine those files for possible threats before doing a transfer.

This program also comes with a safe browsing mod that is perfect for younger users. You'll never again worry about your kids viewing adult or inappropriate content online. Other top features that come with this program include application control, PC tuneup, password management and a file encryption tool.

You'll also find features designed to keep your personal information confidential when shopping or banking online, and features that keep your videos and photos safe from viruses. While Panda Protection Service is a paid program, it offers a free trial period. You can use the program for one month before paying for the service.
