Panda Free

How is panda free doing lately in test?

 

We don't know...they are not being tested on AVC....
On latest AV-Test they got 6.0/6.0 for Protection, 4.0/6.0 for Performance and 5.5/6.0 for Usability.

Yea thats what i thought ?

 

I wonder what the reason is for them not being included in the tests.

 

Probably poor results....

 

Poor if you call 99.9% to 100% detection poor.

 

@IvoShoen Well, there must be *something* wrong then, right?

 

I also would like to see Panda testes at av-comparatives. I suspect it may have fp's or something.

 

Yeah, that could be....

 

I wonder if it's to do with it being x86. Or Panda Security SL refused to pay the protection money lol.

 

My thoughts.

 

Exactly!

 

Maybe we're being too cynical lol.

 

Probably not...

 

On a positive note, I have lately found Panda Free to be lighter in resources than in the past and it seems to detect stuff better and more accurately than 360 Total Security which was good but gave tons of fp's. All in all, I currently like Panda.

 

Hehe, well said.

 

And how much impact on startup time? I am thinking about replacing Avira free with it in a PC with Intel Pentium processor and 4 GB RAM, Windows 10.

 

I don't seem to notice an impact on startup time with the latest version, unlike some previous versions.

 

Thanks for telling @IvoShoen

 

You're welcome. I also notice that the latest version goes not give me a lot of cpu spikes like older versions did.

 

I installed panda free antivirus,i guess from previous installs it is saying i have 5 accounts

How can i delete 4 of them?

 

Accounts for Panda free? What's for?

I've never created them at all. I even don't remember they require an account at all.

It's not Avast!

 

Seeing the same. I usually don't get exited about panda updates and drag my feet because their installation process can be ... buggy. But I'm seeing some clear performance improvement since the update. Long over due.

 

yes you definitely can make accounts with panda free
