How does ActiveScan work?

The first time you use ActiveScan you will need to download the ActiveX controls and various components of the application. The file size is 1.5MB and will take approximately 5 minutes using a 56k modem. During the process you must accept the terms of the agreement to begin using ActiveScan.

To complete the process, simply select the area or program you would like to scan.

If the disinfect option is activated, ActiveScan will then eliminate any virus it encounters. In the unlikely event that ActiveScan cannot delete the virus, send it immediately to the Panda Virus Laboratory to be examined. The results of the analysis will be sent to you as soon as they are available.

ActiveScan: what it is and what it's not.

ActiveScan is designed to search and eliminate viruses found in your computer and also detects spyware. ActiveScan is not designed to provide permanent protection, Panda Security provides a complete line of security solutions designed to do this.

Many viruses exist which can delete files, prevent you from accessing the Internet, or corrupt inbound and outbound e-mail messages. ActiveScan will not be able to stop these activities. A good antivirus program installed on your computer is the best form of permanent protection to prevent malicious code from entering your system.

If you are looking for maximum protection for your PC, install Panda Titanium 2006, Platinum 2006 Internet Security or TruPrevent Personal 2006. These products have received wide international acclaim and numerous awards in recognition of their advanced technology, high level of protection and easy-to-use interface. Panda Antivirus Titanium is especially designed for home users and Platinum is designed for businesses and professionals.

About Microsoft ActiveX Technology

ActiveX technology, patented by Microsoft, allows users to run online programs from a PC by using Internet Explorer. It also allows Word or Excel documents to be opened directly through the browser or scan your entire system for viruses at the click of a button.

ActiveScan makes use of this technology to complete its operations, so it is possible to access the program using a navigator that supports ActiveX controls (Internet Explorer 4 or later).

Are ActiveScan controls dangerous? No. They are completely safe and are certified by Panda Security. Your browser will ask you for confirmation before downloading and executing the controls. Nothing will be run without notifying you, unless you have programmed the settings of your computer to allow downloads without prior consent.
