    Shooter,

    Nope ;). Anyone who feels the need to report anything on this board to a governement is free to do so. Our logs reveal FBI, CIA etc. lurking over here quite a lot. So be it ;).

    regards.

    Yes, I know...you were the one who started the lecture. And you didn't answer my question either.

    Whoops! I'm sorry iceman...I thought I was replying to firefighter.

    Please excuse me, I have been very ill that is why I have not been here
    for a while.

    I didn't mean to start a ruckus...it is called satire. I'm a writer. (Tongue in cheek)

    I am a red-blooded American, first American - Cherokee.

    Peace,

    Firefighter,

    I found the answers. I always find the answers.

    Why are you so hostile? I was only reacting (satire - do you know that word in Finland?)to what you replied which had nothing to do with the subject.

    And about America. I have lived in other countries in Europe. I have a comparison. There is no country like America and there never will be.

    I am proud to be American.

    Don't dish it out if you can't take it. This is a forum about software.

    To Museheart from Firefighter!

    I deeply regret if I have hurt your feelings. I can't say anything but maybe they were the biorytms then, when my style to write was too aggressive. I'll try to chance my style, if it is possible anymore. :doubt:

    I'm just proud of Finland and that's it. No more or less! ;)

    "The truth is out there, but it hurts!"

    Best Regards,
    Firefighter!

    Dear Firefighter,

    No problem. You didn't hurt my feelings, I just didn't know why you were
    being so hostile. I have no problem with nationalism. I think there should
    be more of it in this country!

    Probably doesn't matter anyway, we're all gonna die! lol

    Pray for peace,

    Seven plus years ago, I used McAfee. Last year when I bought my new desktop, it came with Norton 2002 Live Update, which was fine. I became nervous about the frequency of AV definition updates. Last May, I started subscribing to the Panda daily email newsletter.

    After reading this for almost a year, I decided that Panda AV was the way to go. I have installed Panda Titanium on my desktop and Panda Platinum on my laptop. Both of these products are superior to Norton's in every way.

    My question is why wasn't Panda listed in your survey. Panda is one of the top three AV providers worldwide.

    Just curious.

    Cheers,

    Linda

    :D

    I see that there is a very good deal for the Panda antivirus Titanium for a 3 yr liscence for $42 http://www.tryus.dk/start.asp
    sounds good if one was into Panda

    Hello LindaHewitt

    Have you ever looked for un-biased third-party information on how anti-virus programs faire? One really good place to look is Virus Bulletin. They are an independent outfit who tests anti-virus programs all the time. Here is a page with some test results you may find interesting: http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archives/products.xml?table

    We hope you continue to learn all about computer security. The Wilders Forum is really quite good for learning many aspects of security.

    Best wishes.

    Hi LindaHewitt ,
    Panda was not listed since the person who started the poll never used their products. :)

    The versions you have are excellet products..in fact their free online scan is where all the other people go for a good clean and a second opinion.. :D :D many times panda finds it and cleans it completely where their product missed it. And the panda standalone free tool are always excellent.
