The products were officially launched online in June 2009 and have since been praised by prominent software review labs for their robust protection and minimum impact on PC performance:

-- PC Magazine: "Panda detected almost all the malware samples--no other product has detected more of the current sample set. And its malware removal score of 7.7 points sets a new record... Of all the suites I tested, Panda's had the least impact on the Windows Installer test." -- Tech Herald:"Panda Internet Security was faster when it came to usage and resources, and stronger detection-wise, in 2010 than it was in 2009. Most of the improvements come from Collective Intelligence, Panda's cloud services that bolster detection performance, and tweaking in memory usage." -- Computershopper.com: "As security programs go, Panda comes in as decidedly calmer than some of its rivals, including Kaspersky and McAfee, when it comes to making attackers out of shadows."

Using the company's proprietary technology, Collective Intelligence, Panda's 2010 solutions provide consumers with maximum protection with minimum impact, consuming a mere 8 MB of memory. As the first security company to extend cloud-based technology across its entire consumer product portfolio through Collective Intelligence, Panda provides consumers with completely proactive protection and dramatically improved performance, with minimal resource consumption on users' PCs.
