Panda Software has announced the beta testing of the new online scanner: NanoScan. This application effectively detects all active harmful programs hiding in the critical areas of your computer in less than 60 seconds. NanoScan beta version is available for free download at : http://www.nanoscan.com. NanoScan can detect more than 600,000 known threats, and is being continuously updated to protect system against the latest developments of cyber-trespassers. This utility also identifies previously unknown harmful codes due to its intellectual anti - harmful technology TruPreventTM. NanoScan is an extremely small utility (400k), as all scanning and detection technologies are located on servers of Panda. NanoScan effectively detects the threats by the 'collective security database ', a system developed by Panda Research Center. Unlike traditional antiviruses, NanoScan does not require installing the virus signatures file directly to the computer, because the utility has access to the online Panda Software database. NanoScan will be a good addition to any antivirus solution installed in the system. This utility can be used to conduct online transactions or when performing access to online banking services. Thanks Panda Software application, users can be assured that their computers have no trojans, recording keystroke, as well as other threats waiting for an opportunity to steal their confidential data. Using NanoScan not require any additional software, since this online tool works through Internet-browsing using ActiveX technology. New approach to security has been developed in Panda Software, and now it is based on three basic principles: 1) Collection of data from the network. The System centrally tracks and stores information about the behavior of programs, files movements new harmful codes, etc. The information comes from Panda users, other companies and employees. This wide range of data collection provides always up-to-date information about threats and dangerous activities in the Internet. 2) Automatic Data Processing. Every day, the system automatically analyzes and categorizes thousands of new programs. For this aim the Expert System compares the data received from the network, with a huge base of harmful codes from PandaLab. Then it automatically decides whether the file (code) is harmful or not, thus reducing to a minimum the number of tasks PandaLabs specialists must solve manually. 3) Dissemination of results. Users have the results in the form of web-services or signatures files updates. Due to the new principle, NanoScan solution can detect even those harmful software, which bypassed the other antivirus solutions and are actively involved in harmful activities in the infected computer.
