I'd contacted them through their site or from information or links in their email, can't recall which. I let them know when I'd tried unsuccessfully to unsubscribe, that all further emails would be submitted to spamcop and blacklisters and provided them a link to the then-current pandaspam topic in BBR.

I got one more a week later(which I reported), but none since then. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18879460 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 13:09:39 EDT Re: Panda 2008 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18878734 Doctor Four :

I would agree on this one. They are always spamming their testers and customers
Time to adjust my anti-Panda spam filters: for several
months now, I've been blocking them at my old Earthlink
email address, only to have two of their spams get into
my inbox again because they had changed the address they
were using.

it's somewhat ironic that panda would develop a good antispam program.
They have intimate knowledge of the enemy, it is them.

Strangely, 2008 AV has Vista support.

Apparently the 2007 version suffered the same problem...think they'd learn when they came out with the new version.

Now I can't pull it up. I just remember to do virus scans on Sundays. I'll try emailing them and see what I can find. I also want to badger them as to why they are reluctant to add scheduled scans to their software again... :)

What do you launch via task manager to scan and what are the attributes for scanning C:, all hard drives, etc.

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... :)

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...

e.g., The Panda SpamBot routinely proves itself superior to the major AV's antispam products. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18856607 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 00:21:12 EDT Panda 2008 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18856310 GuruGuy : Anyone tried it out yet?
