Some 30% of computers with a security solution installed scanned last week at the Infected or Not website (http://www.infectedornot.com) with the NanoScan and TotalScan online scanners were infected with some kind of malware. In the case of computers without any kind of protection, the figure goes up to 44%.
“Malware creators are trying to put a large number of threats in circulation and install them silently to prevent security companies from detecting them and generating the necessary vaccines”, explains Luis Corrons, Technical Director of PandaLabs, who goes on to say, “As a consequence, traditional security solutions must be complemented with other types of online solutions, like NanoScan or TotalScan, which have access to the vast knowledge-base hosted on the Panda Security servers and can detect much more malware”.
