Panda Anti-Virus

[danospamweber@wiktel.com]

Hello,

I was just wondering if any of you have used Panda Titanium Anti-Virus
Software? I had heard that its the best around. I am currently using
Norton and was thinking about switching. Norton has missed a few viruses in
the past weeks and was wondering if Panda might be more reliable. I am
running windows XP home and have NSTF format.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hello......I've used Panda Titanium for almost a year now. It's very
reliable, has caught several virus in emails. It updates within minutes of
an internet connection, every day, without fail. Some days lately, it
updated twice, with the new virus and worms being rampant on the web. I
have two problems with it. First, it seems to conflict with the ZoneAlarm
Firewall at startup and shutdown. I solved that by disabling it at startup,
and manually disabling it before shutdown. It's no problem to manually
enable it after the firewall is up and running. Second, it doesn't have the
option to turn off automatic email scanning, which has infrequently caused
receiving mail to hang. In that case, I have to disable it to download the
mail. That hasn't happened too often.

When you consider how much trouble a virus or worm can cause your system, I
think it's worth the trouble, and I'll be renewing my license soon. If you
have any questions, let me know. charlie R

Website http://www.pandasoftware.com/ seems to have a lot of popups when you
visit the site; I would not buy based on that alone. If your software is
good, it will sell; Norton and McAfee are hogs (use lotsa system resources)
F-Prot is pretty good and Kapinsky (I think that's how you spell it) sounds
good but is expensive. Currently I use eTrust from CA and it's ok, updates
are automatic, scans can be made automatic, but I think it may lack a bit in
the checking arena (maybe miss some things), but has performed well as of
late.

My take on things FWIW.
