"Journalism largely consists of saying 'Lord Jones is Dead'
           to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive."

Madrid, June 6, 2005 - Almost every day, vulnerabilities are reported that
affect many commonly used programs in corporate environments. These
vulnerabilities can cause a large number of problems to systems that are
not correctly updated.

In many cases, it is thought that only network administrators are
responsible for updating the software, whereas home users feel that these
problems do not affect them. However, the operating systems installed on
home computers can also be affected by security problems that turn their
computer into a target for attacks or malicious code.

One of the main problems in home computers is that a game installed on the
computer is vulnerable to a certain attack, which could compromise the
user. What's more, many games are programmed to allow user to play online
against remote opponents, which further increases the risk.

Oxygen3 calls on all computer users to ensure that their systems are
completely updated, not only the operating system, but also the software
installed on the computer needs to be checked for updates released by the
manufacturer, including office applications, games and other types of
software.

As a preventive measure, Panda Software offers solutions that can block
attacks against systems, based on analyzing the behavior of applications.
By doing this, an application compromised by an external attack can be
stopped thanks to the TruPrevent(TM) Technologies. Users that want to put
the effectiveness of these intelligent technologies against unknown threats
to the test can download a free trial version from
