The Panda 2009 Line Is Out

You can choose "Custom Installation" to install modules that you want.

The program folder contains some backup of its signatures files. 200M is not too large if compares to some AV/AM.

 

And if we compare to some other AVs/AMs/ASs (like E*** , A**** , F-**** , K******** , etc) , it is really too large

 

Don't forget S******* E******* P*********

 

I won't Just can't remember the one with E , but ...

 

I mean't : S******* EndPoint Protection

 

I see your point, BUT, imo, SEP is completely ahead of f*****g Panda in ALL tests around. That being better or worse?.....let the user be the judge to that, all I can say is, that Panda STILL doesen't allow users to upgrade for "free" (having bought their product for more than a month ago, or so?) and still their firewall doesen't allow VPN connections. So if you're the "lucky" owner of Panda , you still can't connect, as a/the IT manager, to your servers on your work, to see if everything is doing just fine. IMO that's a REAL f***up.


Cheers

 

Have you Hugged your Panda today ?

On a serious note tho is there a way to disable the firewall I have never tried panda and I don't plan on it but I'm curious if you can disable mod's or is a full install no matter what ?

 

Honestly you shouldn't have to disable the firewall, to get through to your servers at work, and I'm not sure that will work (it didn't in their 2006-2007-2008 editions). Believe me, I have tried almost every AV and/or security suite out there, and they ALL allow VPN except Panda. Can you "live" with that, I guess you're home free, but I sure as hell can't, sorry to be so negative, but it really p***'es me off with that Panda issue.


Cheers

 

Why Bother with a teddy Bear When you can Have E*** Robot

 

You can disable firewall after installing Panda, but it will keep showing you periodic pop-ups saying that your protection is in RED.

Else during installation, you can choose custom install with no firewall module. This will cause no pop-ups during use.

@JasSolo: Just talking about the installation size. SEP takes a mammoth 500 MB which makes Panda's 200 MB look like peanuts.
Thats all. Which is better Well, I don't know and I can't discuss here

 

How come panda's installer is so big? It is as big as a multi engine av.

 

Panda installer is approx 100 MB. But post installation and update, Panda directory will swell to 200 MB.

 

guys what about trend micro 427mb folder?don't complain about 200

 

to all you guys that talked sh** about Panda, look here:

or McAfee (55 percent).

 

Must be thanks to TruPrevent

 

To all those who cant read between the lines... Look what it was compared to..... lets please get some decent AV's up there please. and we shall see just how well it would do.

 

I can't imagine what Kaspersky, F-Secure, BitDefender, Avira etc. would detect

 

That's the advantage when its a Independent test you still control WHO you are pitched against. would not be a good idea to put your self against anything that would shoot down your program.

Imagine that Market strategy.

 

I run Panda Global Protection and use my VPN to the office almost everyday with no problems. I am using the Panda Firewall too. Please respond to my email I sent you and I can work with you and Tech Support to get that fixed.

 

Panda need to change their upgrade policy for sure...... and id also say, lower your prices too.

 

why the people who have 2008 version (valid) cant install 2009 version?

 

all the company's have the upgrades for free,is not aceptable that "rule" but..i don't understand why

 

The suite looks really neat, but can their protection be trusted?

 

Hi Everyone,
Panda offers a free upgrade for anyone who purchases the product 30 days before the new product comes out.

On the flip side, as an employee, we do upgrade users for free on a one off basis. All you need to do is ask! I would be more than happy to help anyone with the upgrade. Just email me at Jconnett@pandasecurity.com.

I can upgrade you for the time left on your subscription.

I can assist with any questions on the products as well!

thanks
Jennifer

 

Upgraded me and it took very little time.
