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!

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."

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.

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

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.

I've installed this on dozens of computers. NEVER had this issue. Perhaps if you knew how to operate a computer?

The rating is not based on score, but on the amount of downloads... And 3.5 out 5 it's not a high rating. 1 in a 1000 it's a lot, and based on all i've read about Panda after my issue with it, i'm pretty sure it's more likely to be 1 in 500 which is HUGE!.
Reply by Bighugs1965 on October 2, 2016
The reason it has such a high rating is because for most ppl it really works! You maybe one in a thousand or so it just doesn't work for. But to call it crap is to ignore all the thousands of testimonies to the contrary. It works for the majority and very well. You are an exception to the rule not the rule.
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.

Genius, go into the Setting and turn off Panda News. In the future, buy a brain before reviewing products
Reply by howardferns on November 4, 2016
Is this reviewer too dumb to open the menu on the interface and change the settings? Or maybe she is reviewing the wrong product when she refers to AVG ads. Then again, perhaps it is just a poor attempt to publicise AKick which is payware.
