Panda AntiVirus Titanium 2004 for PC (BPAT4)

Pros: nice software when you can get it
Cons: Horrid business practices

I got PandaSoftware's protection for PC in 2003 on the recommendation of a friend. I found that the product worked as advertised and nailed a lot of potential nasties before they could do anything. So when it expired I decided I would upgrade it to ...

Pros: Very Thorough , No False Warnings, Set it and Forget it
Cons: Takes a little time to scan files , tech support is not the greatest

As far as my computer skills go i would say i am intermediate, when it comes to my knowledge of computers and software. I have used the big 2 in the anti virus universe, McAfee and Norton. I was extremely disappointed with Mcaffe and all of its false ...

Pros: Is an effective antivirus application, antivirus updates delivered automatically everyday
Cons: Tech support is terrible, cannot uninstall without causing problems to computer, too many software conflicts

In itself this antivirus application is very effective at guarding against viruses. The problem is with the havoc it will cause on your computer. I'm running Windows XP, with a Pentium 4 processor, and 512MB of ram. I'm mentioning this so everyone ...

Pros: finds fake URL links in emails that send you to a fraudulent website.
Cons: It really slows down your email downloads.

My old online-virus-scanner would not let me re-download it after reinstalling my c-drive, because I had not purchased their extended warranty. So I cancelled my account and headed to Staples. I purchased the Panda Titanium Antivirus 2004 software because the cost was cheaper than the other brands. I have been getting emails from a fraudulent site (displays my internet provider's name but was not from my provider!), asking me to update my password/credit card info. Panda found that fake email during download and notified me that it found a virus that shows a false URL in the address bar when you are really on a different site. It did not tell which email it was, but Panda had removed all the fake URL links from the email so it was empty when I opened it. I'm impressed! (It's a red flag if a website asks you for your passwords and credit card PIN #!)
