The Panda Administrator is the console for all the network s anti-virus needs and servers, whether NT, Novell or Exchange, and workstations can be managed from here.
Workstations can also have protection for emails at the desktop.
All workstations that connect to a server can be covered with this additional anti-virus protection. In the tests that we carried out on all the products in this review Panda for Exchange was a very consistent contender. The macro viruses caused some concern for a few solutions. Panda for Exchange, using its default settings and our own collection of chosen macros, detected a very credible 99.9 percent, one of the highest scores in this particular test. Using a combination of different compression methods it provided a 66.67 percent detection rate that we considered to be very good indeed, considering the complexity of the challenge.
