I agree - the update took about fifteen/twenty minutes to install , and I'm also hoping that I can upgrade to the 2012 version. I think that's why I'm surprised it's running so lightly, despite the huge update and being a full suite. There's usually some sort of performance loss, but I haven't encountered it yet (not that speed is everything, I understand ).

I just read a test where Panda scored very low in false positives, one of my big concerns running an AV, so I just loaded Panda Cloud AV Free for a trial run.

Should I disable Behavior Blocking since I'm running Privatefirewall?

Based on Threat's experience, you shouldn't have to disable the BB. Maybe others can provide better feedback..

Ok, thanks, I turned BB back on, and I'll see if I can find what Threat's experience was.

Oh. Well the BB is back on and so far no conflicts with Privatefirewall's HIPS. Or with Sandboxie or anything else, and no noticeable slowdown. So long as Panda doesn't add a firewall to the free version, I can see keeping this on my computer. Really good experience so far.

The firewall will be a PRO feature, but it can be disabled.

bb and hips shouldn't conflict at all because they are two different things.

I've had 'two different things' conflict on Windows a few times, but I see your point, and it seems to be true of Panda and Privatefirewall. It's been a while since I've run this much security, I'm surprised at how light it feels. And so far everything is behaving.

Went back to the land of AV's
I just can't do it.
Running CIS 5.8 and sandboxie.
Thinking about ditching comodo's Av and running Panda cloud pro. At least then I'll be in the "cloud". That and I here that it runs pretty light.

Comodo has a cloud-based blacklist and heuristics in its Defense+.

Yeah I know. I still wanted a realtime AV. Comodo is pretty light but I've been thinking about using panda cloud AV pro. That way I get comodo's cloud av and panda's cloud av. Two detection signatures are better than one.

What program just slipped Toolbar Cleaner 1.0 onto my computer? Was it Panda?

edit: I'm not sure how Toolbar Cleaner 1.0 got onto my computer, but I ran into trouble after trying to uninstall Panda using RevoPro, everything was freezing up. I have no idea what happened there or which program was at fault, but it is why I don't like running AV programs, they hook deep into the OS. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible. I've put on a new system image and am back to just Sandboxie and Privatefirewall.

Quick search doesn't show up anything it's bundled with.

Antivirus programs are the one thing I don't use Revo for. For a client - appremover + AV specific tool (except with Avast, as they don't get along with OPSWAT :p)

I was also trying the Chromium browser unsandboxed right after installing Panda, so Toolbar Cleaner probably slipped onto my system while browsing.

Yeah I wondered if Panda was just attempting to protect itself from tampering.

ams963's post about BBs getting along with HIPS gave me the idea of keeping Mamutu on with Privatefirewall. So far, so good.

Probably just self-protection as you say. Out of curiosity, why did Panda go so quickly?

I've joined the 'no AV club' with my AMD netbook - as in the two years I've run it, it's never had a single virus download accidentally. I let my wife use it for 3-4 months with no AV, just MBAM Pro and some tight sandboxie rules. Now trying it with just Sandboxie (also Adblocking, Flashblock, etc).

I'm aware that I'm losing the fanstastic MBAM IP protection, but OTOH the Sandboxes do act as anti-executables and the attack surface is low.
