Virus Infection Map

Detailed real-time information on the worldwide virus status.

The Panda Software Virus Infection Map gives live graphic coverage of the the percentage of computers infected by viruses. Together with the Global ThreatWatch it is an essential part of the Global Malware Observatory.

Panda has different types of virus maps that show the percentage of infected computers in different situations.

• Virus Infection Map: gives live graphic coverage of the percentage of computers infected by viruses in a geographic zone. This map includes Alert Mode, which complements the Virus Infection Map during alerts, as it allows you to view how the threat causing the alert spreads, from the moment it appears until the alert is lifted. Get more information about the Alert Mode.

In addition to the percentage of computers infected by viruses, or the combination of viruses in a geographic zone (worldwide, continent or country), the Virus Infection Map provides the following information:

• Top viruses: list of the most active viruses in a region.
• Top countries: list of the areas most-affected by a single virus.
• Proliferation of infections graph: displays the development of PCs infected by a virus or all viruses, in each area from the last 24 hours to the past 12 months.

Usually, the map will open as a world map, displaying continents and indicating the level of infection using the color code.

The map has two options in the top section. The first of these, Region, allows you to select the geographic area of interest to you, or you can simply click the area you want on the map.

The second option, Infections by, allows you to choose the type of infection to display: those caused by a specific virus (you can choose from the top most virulent in the region) or the total result of all viruses in a region.

It is easy to become familiar with the Virus Infection Map once you begin using it. We hope that you find it both useful and easy to use and we appreciate any feedback may have to improve our product.

The Virus Infection Map has the following color-code:

A list of the most active viruses in a geographic zone. Next to the name of each virus, the percentage of PCs infected in each zone is displayed. The list is arranged from highest to lowest in respect to the number of infected PCs.

If you select a specific virus in the Infections by option, instead of Top viruses it will say Top countries.

A list of the countries most affected by the selected virus. Next to each country a percentage of the number of PCs infected by the virus will be displayed. The list is arranged from highest to lowest in respect to the number of PCs infected.

Similar to graphs used to depict activity on the stock market, these graphs indicate the change in percentage of PCs infected by a single virus or by all viruses, in the selected region of the map over in a period of time ranging from the past 24 hours to the past 12 months.

This makes it possible to know if a certain virus is spreading or if its impact is decreasing. This information can be particularly useful during epidemics, when the spread of a particular virus can vary greatly.

If you want to offer something really useful to visitors to your website, just include Panda's Virus Infection Map. Easy-to-use, this graphically displays the current impact of viruses in countries and regions around the world.
