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.

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 per cent detection rate that we considered to be very good indeed, considering the complexity of the challenge.
