Panda Antivirus Platinium or F-prot

I have do make choice.My norton subscription ends on 14 juni 2004 and i need another virusscanner.I see that there a free panda is but is F-prot better.Or Panda?Thanks anyway

 

I vote for F-Prot. Panda simply has too many problems with everything.
Also i doubt in its efficiency. F-Prot engine is very powerful. But if you want a free AV,try it and you will see if its ok.

 

i want a paid AV.I had a free AV and i had 4netsky virusses and AVG don't reconize them

 

Try avast! Its inferior against AVG.

 

I have in the past Avast on my pc but that is the worst i know.I had a lsass.exe in C:\Windows\Fonts

 

The problem is in users, not in software...

 

hmmm... since you don't want avast. I second f-prot, if those are your only two options. DrWeb is also a good and simple AV to use. I'm sure there are many others, but I haven't tried them (yet ).

 

i can choose all other AV's but i can't find much revieuws about it

 

NOD32, last I heard, is a very nice one for home users, even if it can't detect trojans that well.

Avast is okay as a free AV, but I don't think you'd want to pay for it. The only heuristics it has are for mail scanning, and it can slow down older computers pretty badly.

 

dear Stephan123, if you are running XP and have RAM > 128MB then i'll suggest Panda. its a very good AV with a solid Firewall. way way better than AVG or AntiVir PE or other free AVs. F-Prot certainly detects a lot of viruses. its memory usage is very low infact the lowest. so if you need good protection with small memory footprint go for F-Prot. the configurability is nice in Windows 9x but in Windows 2k/XP the On-Access scanner configuration is missing. though its not a big deal as the default setting is safe.

in Windows 9x Panda has some stability issues. F-Prot runs fine on both 9x and XP. do one thing, get your Panda and F-Prot, evaluate them both.

The only thing I REALLY didn't like about Panda was the customer support..

 

thats a fast system. i think you should use Panda. i never had any problems with Support and they replied within 12 hours. updates are daily and it protects you against the latest threats. actually no matter what AV you use the real deal is to practice safe computing. just surf safely and you'll see that you don't need anything more than Panda. i'm suggesting it because you'll save some money with which you can buy a good Antitrojan or something like that.

 

its also scans pretty fast on my old cpu

 

F-PROT without a doubt. You might want to check out command AV it uses the f-prot professonial scan engine with great hueristics and fast scan speed. more Info

 

I've used both, and my preference is F-Prot.

 

I think that i use Panda.I register my soon by Panda.And what is a good Antitrojan that can work with panda as wel?

 

I use TrojanHuter, others use TDS-3, and some use BoClean. There are more, but I think these are the big 3 (IMHO). I have never used TDS-3 or BoClean, but I have heard good things about both. TrojanHunter and TDS-3 both that trial version, but I don't think BoClean does.. Try them both...

And another question.Have Panda Antivirus platinium more bugs then F-prot.I see that F-prot more dan 30thousant more virusses can find.is that true?

 

I would choose Panda Titanium. It has very good heuristics detection, it is fast, has daily updates ...

F-prot dissapointed me!

Btw: Don't you know what is past simple?

@RejZoR:

Do we know each other?

 

I had in the past Panda Titanium but the heuristics are the worst i have ever seen.And i know what the past simple is

 

Not sure kloshar,hehe Do you know Joker Mnenjalnik forums? I'm there most of my time Who knows,maybe we already meet there

Stephan it's:
I had Panda Titanium in the past,but the heuristics...

 

I have now Mcafee Home edition 7.This Antivirus was in my internetservice for free.Thanks for all

 

@Rejzor:

I know you from Slo-tech. I have username pzorko there. Well ... nice to meet you!

@Stephan123

I'm sory for compilcating but I actually thought that you don't know past tenses. But let's stay on topic.

If you asked about Panda, I just recommended you Titanium because it is better than Platinum.

I would suggest you F-secure or Norman Virus control. Norman really rox!!

 

This topic maybe closed.I have made my dession.I had with my ISP a free virusscanner(mcafee 7).I have read here about mcafee 7 and it is good. Thanks kloshar and others
