Key Differentiators:

Seamless integration with Linux, Windows 32-bit and MS-DOS platforms

For antivirus software to prove fully effective it must integrate perfectly with the operating system to guarantee optimum performance. In addition to adapting to even the most heterogeneous environments, protecting mixed Linux, Windows 9x, Windows XP or Windows 2000 scenarios, the new COmmandlineSecure allows manual scanning or scheduled tasks depending on the restrictions of each computer.

Advanced virus scanning and disinfection capacity

The new Panda for Commandline facilitates the integration of advanced scanning and disinfection services in third-party applications under Linux, Windows 32-bit and MS-DOS.

It detects and blocks viruses, worms, spyware, adware, dialers and other viral code in all standard file formats as well as compressed files at any level using the most advanced technology and its latest generation heuristic scan engine.

As it operates with basic DOS services, it is possible to run the scan before Window 9x graphic mode starts up, seeking out threats in systems whose graphic environment has been disabled by a virus.

Hourly updates

Panda for Commandline prevents interruption to corporate activity, as the signature file is updated every hour when necessary, both for Linux and for Windows. This ensures detection is always available against the latest threats.

New anti-malware protection technologies

Panda for Commandline uses the latest technological innovations to analyze our files and offer reliable protection to all your company's computers. It does this combining heuristic technology (based on probabilistic analysis and patterns) and an UltraFast scan engine to prevent interference with other active processes on the computer.

Flexible settings

Panda for Commandline has a simple configuration system with a series of parameters that adjust the protection functionality to the needs of the environment. To enable use from the command line, this antivirus allows you to define scan parameters, the file type, the action to carry out if an infected file is detected, the reporting mechanism and other settings, such as a choice of more than 20 interface languages or the option to run the antivirus without user intervention.

In addition, Panda for Commandline uses 24-bit binary code to indicate the antivirus status after it is run. The first four bits returned indicate the progress of the scan, for example memory problems, incorrect parameters, scan aborted by the user, insufficient permissions, files not found, etc.

The rest of the bits report the number of infected files and the action taken if they were deleted or renamed during the disinfection process.

This flexible reporting mechanism for Linux and Win32 make Panda for Commandline the ideal complement to Panda Security for Desktops, the new desktop protection from Panda.
