Panda Security and tyBit Unified Search Join Forces Worldwide to Combat Cybercrime and the Spread of Malicious Malware. By placing Panda Security's incomparable Internet protection software directly inside the tyBit Unified Search toolbar, the two companies have created an unheard of level of security for a Web browser toolbar that already provided users with unprecedented search capabilities.
Panda Security, a world leader in IT security and tyBit Unified Search, the world's fastest growing search engine, today announced a strategic partnership to defend against malware and enhance the security behind tyBit's search engine toolbar. tyBit offers Internet users a quality, secure search tool that embeds in the user's browser. By partnering with Panda Security, tyBit toolbar users will receive an additional layer of protection to help safeguard from the increasing proliferation of harmful programs infecting computers.
PandaLabs, Panda Security's malware analysis and detection laboratory, recently released shocking findings from its 2008 annual report . Last year, PandaLabs detected an average of 35,000 new malware samples each day, 22,000 of which were new infections. By the year's end, the total count of malware threats detected by PandaLabs exceeded 15 million. By partnering with Panda Security, tyBit will now have the ability to protect its 75 million users from the insidious threat of malware and the increasingly sophisticated tactics of cybercriminals.
"Partnering with a rapidly growing company like tyBit provides us with a unique opportunity to provide millions more users with the most effective protection against the very real threat of malware," said Ryan Sherstobitoff, Chief Corporate Evangelist, Panda Security. "tyBit users can now be confident that the searches they conduct with the company's unique search tool, are secure and malware-free."
tyBit accelerates search and maximizes relevancy, which helps users search the Web quickly and thoroughly. By instantly retrieving information from multiple online directories, major engines, and other data sources in the public domain, tyBit efficiently displays all of the results in a single window on the desktop or PDA. tyBit also aids search relevance with grid computing, learning subscribers preferences, searching multiple sources, displaying the most current information and searching local content based on the user location.
"With the exponentially growing number of threats we are facing on the Internet on a daily basis, it is extremely important to us that we provide our users with an even higher, more secure level of protection than before," Kitti Jo Finch, General Manager of tyBit. "We chose to partner with Panda Security because of its breadth and global reach of products for everyone from families in their homes to large corporate enterprises. Because Panda's integrated suite of anti-virus products protects users from all kinds of threats, we can be assured that our users receive the maximum protection when they are using our search tool."
