Panda 2016 Consumer Products released

My post was a copy from the same place (panda support forum)
Seems like he changed his text a little bit.

 

It runs well on a relative's laptop that still runs Vista. Avast! won't run properly on Vista but Panda will. When I upgraded my relative's machine with 16.1.0 I still switched off the Process Monitor (responsible for BSOD's) and the default quarantining. I think I'm sticking with Avast! on Win 7 for now though. I also think the quarantining bug in Panda will take a while to fix. First, Panda have to admit that there is a problem.

 

So, they still haven't fixed the damn quarantine...

 

I'm guessing not, I am not actually sure. I doubt it.

 

This may actually be history in the future since Avast has tested to remove the registration in Avast Free

 

Set it to "ask before neutralize", it shouldn't quarantine the files then ...

 

But I don't want that. I want the damn thing to work properly. How bloody lazy and sloppy a company has to be to **** something like this up and not be bothered to fix it afterwards.

 

The trouble is, it isn't always asking before neutralising.

 

Well done Panda ...

 

They're probably working on it ... lol ...

 

I think they will fix it soon, maybe 2018 or 2019.

 

I don't get it why Panda can't get ONE person here so we can talk directly and solve stuff. This quarantine nonsense could be solved months ago if we had anyone to talk to directly. But since pbust left, radio silence. It's impossible to solve anything.

 

Only option is their forum! http://support.pandasecurity.com/forum/

 

Hmmm ....

Nonsense. Folders where the file was taken from were all still there and yet it just threw them into Lost and found folder. Jesus, I'll really have to register on yet another forum. Again...

 

Well, you may have set the ball rolling ... hopefully.

 

I hope so. I really like it since introduction as Panda Cloud back then. It's small, easy to use and has good protection. But bugs like this are super stupid and usually show poor quality control.

When I implemented certain functions in my apps or scripts I've always tried to predict and test them for all kinds of silly uncommon situations. I've been testing avast! this way for ages. It's how companies should be testing, but for some reason they don't. But it's so simply, focus on one particular function and poke it in every way imaginable. If you know what it does, it's easy to poke it and provoke potential problems. But companies just don't seem to do such systematic testing. Which is weird but oh well...

 

Yes, I used the 'Panda Cloud' on its first release. This was on a woefully underpowered laptop running Vista and originally struggling with the sheer size of McAfee as an AV. I've nothing against McAfee, but it slowed a 1Gb RAM laptop with Vista to a snail's crawl. Panda totally transformed the laptop's performance as it was so light. Unfortunately, on my first full scan it found false-positives and so I changed to something else for a while. I really thought they'd got it together at Pandaville but this new quarantine bug really needs to be addressed.

 

Have you already sent the requested file with password? Sometimes I think Panda support is acting like a government agency.

 

I'm not going to. It's greyware, meaning I already know they won't do anything about it so there is no point in sending it. What I don't understand is how a file itself would make any difference in regards of how it gets restoed. It's just a bloody EXE file. You can move it around, copy it, delete it like any other. So, why Panda fails to restore it where it originally was but can some other file (did try with EICAR which is smaller, COM and only has a simple string. Apparently something deeper within Panda Free is broken.

 

It's your chance, do it now:

Are they still working on it?

 

Well, that's a good question.

To quote RejZor: 'Apparently something deeper within Panda Free is broken.'

 

I wanted to send him a PM, but it doesn't work. Is his account inactive?

 

I don't know.
