ORLANDO, Fla., May 4, 2011 – Panda Security, the Cloud Security Company, today announced Panda Internet Security 2011 has been certified by prestigious, independent laboratory AV-Test in its Q1 2011 Product Review and Certification Report.

The solution from Panda Security detected 100 percent of samples in the malware batch used by AV-Test, as well as those from its ‘in the Wild’ list.
