     For consumers, Panda Software already has a beta version of Panda
 Antivirus+ Firewall 2007 and a full version of Panda Antivirus 2007 which
 are Vista-compatible.
     The new Panda Internet Security 2007 beta version also protects both
 Windows Media Center and Windows Tablet PC.
     Another innovation is the backup system it offers, which enables users
 to make security copies of files and folders in the system and restore them
 when necessary. The Panda Internet Security 2007 backup wizard allows easy
 decision-making as to what to save and how often.
     "With the backup service in Panda Internet Security 2007, Panda
 Software improves even more its home security suite and meets users' needs
 for an integrated security solution," explains Jaime Herrero-Velarde,
 Director of Consumer Marketing at Panda Software.
     The automatic blocking of websites that contain spyware or those aimed
 at phishing (online fraud) is another advantage of this new version. In
 this way, the threat is automatically stopped before it reaches users.
     Rootkits are programs used by cyber-criminals to conceal the processes
 of malicious codes and make their detection more difficult for security
 solutions. However, this new version includes a rootkit detection system,
 which marks the rootkit-infected files and those associated to hidden
 processes as malware and deletes them.
     Panda Software has created the "Windows Vista Information Center",
 available at http://www.pandasoftware.com/Vista. Here users will find
 information about the compatibility of Panda Software products with the new
 operating system. They will also be able to download the new Panda Internet
 Security 2007 beta version and other Vista-compatible Panda products.
     Panda Software also has Vista-compatible solutions for businesses:
 Panda ClientShield, designed to protect corporate network workstations and
 the new beta version of Panda AdminSecure 2007, its new management console
 for IT professionals.
     You can get more information and download the beta version of Panda
 Internet Security 2007 in the Panda Software Beta Zone.
     The beta area lets you access official versions of the programs in the
 final stage of development. The beta versions offer users the chance to

 time it offers Panda Software a vehicle for gathering suggestions and
