SpyXposer has already detected more than 6 millions examples

MADRID, May 2 2006 - SpyXposer, the free, on-demand, online scanner, has already detected more than 6 millions examples of spyware in 2006. This figure underlines the danger that spyware currently represents, not just through infringing on user privacy, but also causing problems in computers such as system slowdowns, crashes, etc.

For some years now, Panda Software has dedicated specialized personnel and resources to the fight against this Internet threat, ensuring that all its solutions are highly effective when it comes to detecting spyware. SpyXposer is updated every day to deal with even the most recent spy programs.

Spyware has become one of the most serious Internet threats over recent months. According to IT Observer1, 90 percent of computers are infected by this type of malicious code. The reason behind this situation is that spyware conforms to the new financial motivation of malware creators, as it can return large-scale profits, either from the sale of data gathered or through the sending of junk mail.

˝With SpyXposer we aim to minimize the impact of spyware on computers around the world. This type of malicious code, which has traditionally been a minor concern for users, has now become one of the major Internet threats. Think, for example, of the financial losses to companies through lost productivity in IT systems,˝ explains Luis Corrons, director of PandaLabs.
