Panda Free Antivirus for Windows

User Reviews

• I used to love it, not sure what the heck is wrong with

  Quickbrown1!December 7, 2017

  Pros

  Before today this product worked extremely well.

  Cons

  Panda seems to have ceased functioning on my computer.

  Summary

  So today I got a virus, despite having Panda installed. I had to manually track down and eliminate the files. After having done so, I checked which programs were running under Windows, Panda was not one of them. I downloaded a new copy and tried to install it, but nothing happened after I doubled clicked on the installation file. I tried this five times, with installation files from 3! different websites. I'm going back to Avast!

• Good product

  stevenmitchellFebruary 10, 2017

  Pros

  It is lightweight as RAM utilization goes. Upgrades are automatic and transparent. The quick scan is very fast.

  Cons

  I didn't really see any obvious cons.

  Summary

  The previous (2016) version was not a cumbersome anti-virus software, as many anti-virus programs are. It's utilization of RAM has low overhead (as some reviewers above note), and yet it has provided decent protection over that time, in contrast to other products, that I have used on earlier occasions such as Comodo. It also manages the AV upgrades (which are necessary) transparently. The only reason I am reinstalling the product (after having looked again at AVG and Avast) is Oracle's (actually Sun Microsystem's) Java upgrade not only removed the old version of Java that it advised it would do, but it also removed the Panda anti-virus software (executable and all) that was apparently entangled in it from my computer. It is something to be aware of should someone do the very recent Java 8 upgrade that Oracle aggressively pushes because of "security concerns."

• Really lightweight

  CESSNA150SKYPILOTDecember 21, 2016

  Pros

  When you run an antivirus product you don't want to see it in action. Like sausage, it's best made behind the scenes. That's what I like. You don't know it's there till you need it.

  Cons

  I can't say much here. I've read some of the experts who knock its inability in certain areas, but as a single user at home I can't see it.

  Summary

  It's free. And it really works.

• Beware BSOD

  davidsco27December 10, 2016

  Pros

  Free. Generally effective. Lightweight

  Cons

  It has a known bug. BSOD's caused by their system file nnsprv.sys that they have yet to resolve

  Summary

  Have used this product for the past couple of years. I'm generally satisfied with it, but the BSOD's are unacceptable. May have to look elsewhere

• Worst crap software i've ever installed.

  heil_ArgentinaOctober 1, 2016

  Pros

  NONEEEEEE!

  Cons

  Right after i installed panda, i lost my internet connection tried everything to fix it with no luck. I had to google with my cell phone for a full hour to seek for help, i went to every forum, and after 1hs of reading and reading, i came to a common solution "uninstall that crap!". they don't even have a solution for this in their own forum, and i've seen that there's people with the same problem as mine since 2005 versions... So my advice, and i'm very serious about it, is to don't even try it, because an antivirus that gives you more trouble than a virus is not worth the try. Right after i uninstalled it, i were still unable to access to internet, so to fix it i had to run a system restore... This is the worst thing that happened to my computer EVER EVER EVER!

  Summary

  I don't understand how this crap is in the top 11 softwares of download.com. And obviously the top list is not to trust.

• "Uninstalled because of intrusive popup ads"

  Taylorminaj1September 23, 2016

  Pros

  Seems nice, but didn't fix my issue

  Cons

  Popup ads that hijack any window you are watching or typing in. Even if you're playing a game, AVG ads will force minimize your game to look at the stupid ad. I got tired of it and uninstalled it just now.

  Summary

  Basically, it doesn't work or do anything. Didn't used to be like this. Way too many, intrusive ads now. but my husband said me to use Akick Total Security with the free version and it's really works without any popups or update to buy our software.
