    I am giving Panda internet secuirty a test run. I am quite impressed.

    One problem is when ever I start Sandboxie I get a truprevent message saying programfiles/sandboxie/start.exe peformed a suspicious action- action blocked. Sandboxie still starts up ok.

    Any idea. Anyone else experencing this?

    Cheers

    Hi
    I have installed this suite and i must say its very very light, i have a valid license for KIS and that was what i was using before, i uninstalled it and installed Panda and PC is faster, going to use since i managed to get a free license from windows lunch party.
    Really fast, never thought Panda managed to work so well, it has a lot of processes running but the suite is extremly light compared even with kasperksy suite, i am using a PIV 3.2ghz with 2G of ram and the diference is noticable.
    Very well Panda, i was a customer of Panda many years ago but left because it was very heavy for pc, but the 2010 suite is very light, i dont even notested that is running, now lets see is efficiency, going to use it and see if it do his job like its supposed to do.

    Is there any reliable test results about PIS2010 (detection rate etc.)?

    I got that license too, running KIS2010 at the moment and very happy with it. :D

    I got no e-mail yet, even in spam.

    Could I really trust Panda's protection?

    On the first PC I tried this software, it created an endless loop of reboot. I am trying it on a different PC now, but it refuses to update. The Program seems to be kind of buggy.

    Thanks for the report. We'll look at it and fix it asap.

    There's many for those in the know like for example the regular results from some independent labs. For public tests the most recent ones I know about are for example:
    PCSL (http://www.pcsecuritylabs.net/news.php?readmore=29 & http://www.pcsecuritylabs.net/news.php?readmore=32)
    PCMAG by AV-Test.org (http://blogs.pcmag.com/securitywatch/2009/06/panda_cloud_av_products_emerge.php)
    AV-TEST. We also did contract some independent comparative tests right before releasing 2010. They can be found here:
    http://research.pandasecurity.com/blogs/images/av-test/Panda-vs-Kaspersky.pdf
    http://research.pandasecurity.com/blogs/images/av-test/Panda-vs-Microsoft.pdf
    http://research.pandasecurity.com/blogs/images/av-test/Panda-vs-Trend.pdf

    Send me a Private Message with the email address you registered with and I can forward it to the marketing department that is sending the activation keys.

    I believe it's just Panda IS 2010.

    If you PM your contact info (email) we can contact you from our support department to troubleshoot this problem.

    I just now uploaded them to the pre-production servers. Give it a few minutes to replicate to the public servers.
