Panda Antivirus Titanium - Panda Software

I use Panda Antivirus for a couple years now and must say I really like the software. It is not to expensive and very easy to install. Never had any issue

In many ways, having Panda Antivirus run your PC is like having a virus. Just like the animal whose name it bears, Panda is very slow and hugely resource-needy. Demanding daily updates, the program hijacks your entire CPU (as you're working on it) for 10 minute stretches; and making scans sometimes lasting days in which your PC is entirely unrelinquishable, aloof from the command of cursor or keyboard.

Not only are your PC's resources curtailed under this tyrant, but the lack of autonomy with the program itself is another key point. With Panda, the settings are as plentiful as the (endangered) creatures themselves, and with the refinedness of their mating rituals. Try to remain calm while the 'Panda knows best' policy sends your files and connections to oblivion, and regret not the fateful time when you mis-clicked on an innocent looking bulletin, only to find it eternally walled in fire.

Ridding myself of the antivirus program I have since found that even with no protection, my computer [under moderately careful use] has had no infections to date, with efficiency finally restored, saving me money and time.

I would say that Panda Antivirus is unsuitable for anyone who wants to use their computer while it is being 'protected' by it, and for that reason it cannot be recommended for any PCs which have anything more than a 'decorative' function. The speed of instalment is good, but fast enough for you to remember how much better off your computer was beforehand.

My Panda Antivirus Titanium 2006 software worked for two months. The only problem was that it would delete emails it didn't like without asking.

However, after 2 months of use, I started getting "low protection: alerts. When I tried to remedy them, I got error messages. Panda techies keep sending the same boilerplate telling me to remove all traces of Norton etc. from my system. I have done this at least five times. Then, after 6 weeks, another techie asked if I have System Mechanic. I had installed a trial version, but by the time they thought of this it was over and uninstalled. Even though I did a clean uninstall, the problem still exists. It seems that Panda uses a non-standard method of storing registry data that produces this problem.

The bottom line for me is that I have wasted hours trying to get Panda to work. It is just to tweaky for me. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I wanted to pass on my experience with the Panda Antivirus Titanium - Panda Software.

When I ordered 2004 Panda Titanium I had a hard time activating it.

Then I received an email with this offer. Just US $9.95 + 1 month's services FREE!

Special offer for Titanium Antivirus 2004 clients.

I tried to order from that offer and wasted a lot of time and could not download. I sent an email that was not responded to.

Then for some hair brained reason I tried again and I guess I was extremely stupid as I paid $39.95 (hackers have me worried, I should have been more worried about software developers!!!)

I uninstalled 2004 as the installation directions said. Installed 2005 with a total scan which found I file infected, which it did nothing about. I then restarted my computer and got the message setup failed to launch and also scan found and deleted adware. The computer loaded extremely slowly and I was not able to do anything. I spent from 10 AM till 6 PM trying to get my computer to work. I had to call my computer manufacture to find Panda phone # on Alexa and was on the phone for hours 2x to Panda tech support, one Tech hung up on me and the other who told me he could not help me anymore and I would have to deal with it myself.

I ended up taking the computer in for repairs but I still am have all kinds of problems.

UPDATE - PANDA is back on my computer after spending hours and $200 to get rid of it.

I am totally screwed.

Moral of the story do not buy Panda.

I would advise anyone and everyone from purchasing Panda Antivirus Titanium Anti Virus Software because I made the mistake of doing so and now i have to get a decent antivirus program just to make up for all the crap that panda put me through. I suggest norton or mcafee.. even pc-cillin..

the program continually reminds you that it's installed and working (no matter how many times you click the "DO NOT REMIND ME EVER AGAIN" button). The auto update feature asks you to continually re-enter your password even though they are already entered.. in other words, this stupid thing is very buggy.. also tech support BLOWS! i emailed them probably 5 different emails over a 2 month period. NO RESPONSES. i even used a different email accounts (yahoo, earthlink, hotmail) thinking maybe their system filtered out email accidently. Then i called them. They transferred me to a voice msg. no calls returned. EVER. Then i asked to speak to a supervisor. Same drill. Answering machine, no returned calls. etc.

Panda Antivirus Titanium - Panda Software is a great piece of software - low cost and effective - it does what it says in the CD. Very effective at cleansing viruses and 2004 version even warns and replaces the text of any infected file. I used Norton and Viruscan and neither managed the job that Panda does....

Panda Antivirus Titanium is a very good piece of Anti Virus software, it is slightly unstable when using at same time as other software so scan on its own

it spotted a bad trojan trojan deltree which if activated wud have detroyed my drive c! i disinfected it. How many of them can do that not many most delete trojans and the file in which it hides!

I had Norton 2003. My pc was a mess. virus after virus. Norton was unable to delete serveral worms. I unistalled Norton then installed Panda Antivirus Titanium - Panda Software trial and Panda not only picked up two viruses on my system that Norton did not and removed them pronto.This saves me hours of mismanage time and effort never mind the reformating to get rid of everything just to be sure the harddisk is clean.

What can i say? i got fed up with norton because it was using too many system resources and i was having problems with the activation rubbish in the 2004 version. i tried a trial of Panda Antivirus Titanium - Panda Software and found it to be absolutely brilliant! the install was painless and in no time, i was scanning my system. admittedly i only found one virus, and that was a simple trojan. i have been using it for 3 weeks now and so far, it has prevented about 30 infections from various files i have downloaded, or tried to download, also one or two mail worms were discovered. i have read the rest of the reviews here and think that the negative ones, these people must either have fluffed the install somehow (god knows how) or have some other software running that prevents it from functioning properly, in which case, that software is probably a threat to your system.

i recommend this product very highly.

(you would think i was a P.R agent eh?)

one thing though, i have had no problems with the product, so i haven't needed to use the technical support. go figure.

This is by far the best anti-virus product I have ever used. It uses very few system resources and is totally hands-free. The integrated firewall program is extremely simple to configure and works well.
