    Hi Gigabyte

    Your PC crashed during download or during install? The difference in the problem/solution is potentially vast.

    Neither.I should of explained more. It installed fine and I was using it. For some reason my pc crashed and the program was removed. My system was reinstalled from an emergency disk. That was the last thing that i installed,so it wasn't on the disk.

    Panda people didn't update their software since July 2003. i'm not talking about the database though. i'm talking about the core files and the engine. so its pretty normal that it still have those bugs. i used it for somedays untill it crashed, hanged, cried, did everything to force me to uninstall it.

    In fairness to this 'free' Panda, it has been installed on my daughter's laptop (Win XP, 512mB Ram, 2.3Ghz) for about a month now, with no problems so far.

    Very stable and more importantly for my daughter, it runs straight out of the box with the default settings and automatic updates set. Easy to use GUI and relatively fast scanner.

    For newbies who want 'to set and forget' I think it is a very good program, particularly with the present offer of 12 months of free updates.

    a large number of false positives couldn't be considered as good heuristic. Panda heuristic is strong but not good. but i love their daily updates. the latest version is 7.05.03 and the date goes way back to July 2003.

    Okay, how much RAM does this take up? If it's not too RAM-intensive, I'll try it as my primary AV - but if it's a hog, it will only crash my poor obsolete computer.

    Panda AV - You get what you pay for!

    Wow. This is very slow on old machines. It takes up an amazing amount of RAM and hard drive space. It might be good, but it's too much of a hog to run properly on older computers.

    Edit: Still, it only slows things down a bit more than Avast. If you can run Avast without any trouble, I suggest you replace it with this.

    And how can you register Panda and get free username and password? 2 months ago when you typed in your name, email adress on "survey", you got registration code on your email and some details. Now there is no any registration information. Can anyone explain registration?

    Apparently there is suppose to be an "Online Registration" link in the help menu. It wasn't there in mine (though my comp froze at the end of Panda's installation, so it's like half-installed).
