Anyone have experience with Panda Anti-virus and firewall? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'm just curious - does anyone have experience using Panda anti-virus and Panda Firewall? Is it decent at all? Just curious how well it performs compared to, say, Sygate.

DO NOT USE THIS!

Total crap, I think I "Found" a copy form Staples or some other crap store. Complete and total crap. I have had a few customers request it, and I cannot talk them out of it, then they can't connect to the internet after setting up trusted zones and everything... and just try to get virii updates, sheesh... it's like they only update once a month.

In conclusion... don't!

Interesting. Not planning on using it - I'm happy with AVG when I'm using Windows - however I read a somewhat favorable review in, I think, PC Magazine, plus I had found some interesting reviews on some websites, such as:

http://www.all-internet-security.com..._software.html

http://antivirus.about.com/cs/softwa.../aaprpanda.htm
http://antivirus.about.com/cs/before.../aatpavwin.htm

The CNet review was not quite as generous though and I do generally trust that far more:

Thanks for the verification
