panda antivirus software

I would like to know if Panda antivirus software is compatability with
Windows Vista. I heard Panda was a good antivirus software. I now use norton
and don't like it.

Re: panda antivirus software

Let's see now. I did two things. A Google search using "panda vista". The
first link it brought up was

[url]http://www.pandasoftware.com/vista/[/url]

from the company. You could have found the information faster and in a few
seconds if you did a search.

But to answer your question: Yes

Remove Norton from your system as it is bloatware, causes all sorts of
problems with everything you do. Stay away from McAfee also.

Another good virus (FREE also) is AVAST. It works well with Vista.

I'm not sure about Panda, you can try AVG or Avast, both are compatible
and both have free versions so if you don't like one, you've lost
nothing and you can try the other:

AVG: [url]http://free.grisoft.com/[/url]
Avast: [url]http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html[/url]

I don't blame you for not liking Norton, be sure it's uninstalled,
completely uninstalled or you may have problems.

Check Symantec's website:

Re: panda antivirus software

Hey monkeybrain... you know panda and you recommend it?

You say Norton is bloat yet you say vista is not? YOU ARE CRAZY and an idiot
of course!

FYI panda is another piece of bloatware... it installs too many services and
grabs your computer like a hungry octopus.

combine it with vista that is another bloatware...and your computer will
crawl in no time.

I suggest use XP and AVAST and get rid of the horrible bloatware..including
vista.

I also recommend spankymonkey to go back to the jungle and leave
computerland forever.

You need to get educated. Panda runs as sweet as a nut and does not such
thing. It has one of the most easy to set up systems and sits quietly doing
it job of virus and firewall protection.

You are wrong of course.

The difference is marked.

Panda is full resourced while ANG and Avast are not unless you get the pro
version.

Any worthwhile protection software uses resources. Up your resources and
keep safe is my advice.
