Panda Users?

Just curious if there are any Panda 2009 users out there and what there experience has been. I have been running Panda AV Pro 2009 on my second computer, my refurbished Dell desktop for a couple months now and so far so good. Memory use has been much better. I just wish they would open up to more testing to see if it's all as good as they claim. It has kept my box shiny and clean so far...

 

I guess I'm the one... ...WOO-HOO!...

 

Yes. You da man.

 

so how is panda these days. its been a LONG TIME since i would give them another go.. anybody being able to test them yet??

 

It's performance has been good so far and memory usage is improved. I still can't get over the
physical size, 200mb in my C drive . Gees Avira is all of 49MB on my laptop...

 

I have a license for Panda IS 2009 but I just didn't care for it. Nothing in particular I don't like about it. it is just the overall app. It might be great but it just isn't for me.

 

Very true i hav never seen any member in this forum using Panda IS

 

I remember back then, Panda was at the top with their TruPrevent technology.

 

Unfortunaly , in 2006 they completely killed everything good . TruPrevent was great , Panda IS 2003/2004 was nice , too but ... memories ...

 

Can i get a trial for Panda 2009 Av somewhere?

 

I have tried panda. And i agree with you who think the earlier versions was better. 2009 version of Panda IS os not so bad. Its a clean an nice interface. But i find it hard to configure.

The firewall takes controll of almost every program you have. I am for quiet firewalls, but thats almost as quiet as Norton IS 2009. QUIET!!!

But overall would i say its a 50/50 product. Not to good and not to bad

@GES/POR here is the link to the evaluation site http://www.pandasecurity.com/uk/homeusers/downloads/evaluation/

 

one thing i can say for panda is my aunt has been running it for almost 5 years and has never had a infection i have had to fix. ill test this out tonight along with the new eset smart security 4 on my test machine. see how it is

I'm using the Panda AV Pro 2009 right now and it seems fine. I kinda like the interface too. So far so good. I will run it for a while and see if any problems develop. But I don't see anything wrong with it on the surface. I have no idea how good (or bad) detection is though... guess I should check the av comparatives and see.....

 

Unfortunately they pulled out of AV Comparatives a couple years ago. More testing of this with favorable results would only bode good for them...

 

Yeah, that doesn't sound too good.... I will probably go back to Avast tonight myself....

 

I came across the online scan of Panda Antivirus. The online scan found over a hundred viruses on my computer but would not clean it up unless I paid 12 dollars.

So I got the idea of downloading the trial version. But now I ran into yet another problem. It's not in English. It had every other language option except for English. I can't find an English version of the program.

Is there an English version of Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 trial anywhere?

 

You should be able to download a trial at their site http://www.pandasecurity.com/usa/homeusers/ and make sure to click NO to the marketing selection at the bottom of the page. If you leave it as "yes" they'll nag you into the afterlife...

 

I got it from their site. But it's not in English.

 

Must be a glitch in the matrix.....

 

the only think i like about panda is the cute panda system try icon

 

They nag people who use the on line scanner so I know what you mean.

 

Online scan: they copy files into the Windows directory without prior explicit permission (or at least they used to) !

I've read about a supposedly existing removal tool/thing, but I don't know if it exists, I halted the 'scan' while it was copying files into the Windows directory.

 

I sometimes use the online scanner without beeing nagged. What did i wrong?
