    ViVek, thanks, any idea how long you get after signing up, before you need to download PC Pro and use the code?

    I download version 2 free from official website, download.com, pro version free 2 from download.com the offer one.

    Tried installing all the 3 one by one but I am getting the old 1.5.2 version with each installation files??

    Tried manually deleting everything related to panda & temporary files but the same thing.

    And panda cloud installation changes the folder options i.e folder options - general - default settings are changed and sometimes internet explorer - internet options - security - default settings are changed too.

    XP SP3 32 Bits
    No other security software
    Windows FW

    @JoeBlack40 There have been a few reported cases where Panda Cloud showed compatibility issues with Comodo firewall. Is this with the free version installed?

    @Naren So you tried the official site and download.com? When did you download them? There is currently mixed experiences on this issue.

    @tpro Clock starts ticking upon activation.

    As with previous releases, to prevent overloading the servers the upgrade will gradually be sent out to everyone. :) Your neighbor could recieve it before you do and vice-versa.

    Even Iron Man could get it before you as he flies around the world stirring up the "robo geeks". :D

    FYI... AdBlock+ with Fanboy's list will block the free offer part (or at least it did here)...

    Try downloading from cloudantivirus.com or download.com. As it is very recent other portals might not yet have the 2.0 fully deployed.

    pbust, when we download the Pro version for free and receive the activation code, how long does that code last until we need to activate it, is there a deadline to activate it?

    Let me guess, this will be followed by yet more negativity in the following days and predictably in the end praise of Avast? :shifty: ;)

    Let's stay on the thread topic.
     
  24. Have the DirectX flipping and transparency effects been removed? Panda is one of the very few AVs I consider to be a halfway decent security layer, FWIW, but the special effects consume resources needlessly (and IMO don't look very professional).

    Why do you think so? I've never said anything bad about Kingsoft. And i never did anything like this with Panda Cloud either. In fact, if others consider Panda products (normal ones) to be bloated and inefficient, Panda Cloud is the exact opposite of that. In fact, even though you might laugh, i'm running a cloud trio, Panda Cloud, Kingsoft Cloud and avast! with Hybrid Cloud.
