Re: Panda 2008

I bit the bullet and installed it. 30 days free.

Some things I've noticed:

1. No scheduled scan settings that I can find.
2. No quarantine that I can find.
3. No password protection that I can find.
4. No settings to "delete, disinfect, quarantine", etc. that I can find.
5. Browsing internet does have some hesitation occasionally. Probably related to it looking for spyware, infected cookies, etc.
6. Setup and settings are pretty basic. Go into them and check them or uncheck them. Very easy and very little configuration available to the user (Could be pro or con, depending on who's using it).
6. Overall scanning is pretty fast. Scanned 373k files in about 19 mins (about the same as what NOD did on this pc).

I'll continue to try it out and give more thoughts...

You are right Guruguy the settings are rather basic. I have come to like that with time. It sits there and does the job. I have had Panda AV on my desktop for over a year now as i had Panda AV 2007 and now the 2008 version. I do wish it had a scheduled scan but you can go into Pandas helpfiles and set it up to scan with Windows scheduled tasks. The slight hesitation when browsing comes from the HTML scanning. I used to get that at times with NOD32. Slightly annoying but it's an extra little layer of security. my work Laptop has Online Armor AV+, another great little security App...

Never argue with an idiot. They just bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
