    "Problematic"

    March 11, 2012  |   By UserU

    Version: Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition 1.5

    Pros

    Its lightweight and doesn't intrude too much by those pop ups or advertisements.

    Cons

    The real problems that gets me every time:
    1) The product tends to de-activate itself after using it for a month. As strange as it seems, I couldn't find a solution except to re-install it.

    2) Security toolbar is installed despite the user's wishes(which is mostly no). After un-installation, I have to use a registry cleaner just to trace every fragments of it and remove each time

    Summary

    This may not happen to everyone, but its annoying enough to those affected. On a side note, I don't know why I'm not even allowed to access Panda support page. It keeps bringing me to the homepage every time. Very annoying.

    I would therefore recommend other better AV solutions instead of this.

    Did not detect a virus I had unzipped. It infected my system. Fyi Malwarebytes did not detect either.

    "Mediocre features and configurabilty"

    January 18, 2012  |   By bcmktg

    Version: Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition 1.5

    Pros

    Lightweight system resource impact.

    Cons

    Very few options for customized scans and scheduling, even for a free antivirus application. Leaves you wondering how effective it actually would be in preventing a virus from getting on your machine in the first place.

    Summary

    Very underwhelming overall.

    "Panda is worse than bad it is dangerous - stay away"

    December 19, 2011  |   By tangenef

    Version: Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition 1.5

    Pros

    None - it is a disgrace

    Cons

    The product is unstable - needs constant re-installment. It is a virus itself - the worst virus I have ever experienced
    The most disgraceful aspect is after uninstalling the program is leaves traces that stop you accessing the internet. The computer repair shop who sold me this louse program said they could not undo the damage Panda had done to my machine. I had to have the hard disc re-formatted

    Summary

    The company should be sued.
    STAY AWAY from this Spanish plague

    "Much have paid for the high review"

    November 13, 2011  |   By vgames

    Version: Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition 1.5

    Pros

    low system impact
    short scans
    nice GUI

    Cons

    about everything else.
    It does not detect new viruses well, I watched a video on how well it detected new virues and a guy installed 10 different viruses on a Virtual Machine. then he scanned after installing each, and Panda only found 4/10 of them.

    thats really bad since 8/10 would be a good raito.
