Some 14% of computers scanned last week at the Infected or Not website (http://www.infectedornot.com) with the NanoScan and TotalScan online scanners were infected with active malware, that is, threats that were performing some kind of malicious action at the time of the scan.
25% of computers scanned had latent malwate, that is, malicious code installed on the system.
Of all the computers scanned, 72% had some kind of antivirus protection installed. However, this doesn’t guarantee total protection, as almost 30% of protected computers were infected by malware.
“Traditional, signature-based protection is no longer enough. It is necessary to complement it with proactive technologies that can detect threats by analyzing their behavior, and periodic audits with tools that can detect much more malware”, confirms Luis Corrons, Technical Director of PandaLabs. He adds: “NanoScan and TotalScan are examples of these tools, which work according to a collective intelligence approach. This system does not just check a single signature file, but uses an extensive knowledge base on Panda’s servers that allows these tools to detect much more malware”.
