General Comments
I wanted to pass on my experience with the Panda Antivirus Titanium - Panda Software.
When I ordered 2004 Panda Titanium I had a hard time activating it.
Then I received an email with this offer. Just US $9.95 + 1 month's services FREE!
Special offer for Titanium Antivirus 2004 clients.
I tried to order from that offer and wasted a lot of time and could not download. I sent an email that was not responded to.
Then for some hair brained reason I tried again and I guess I was extremely stupid as I paid $39.95 (hackers have me worried, I should have been more worried about software developers!!!)
I uninstalled 2004 as the installation directions said. Installed 2005 with a total scan which found I file infected, which it did nothing about. I then restarted my computer and got the message setup failed to launch and also scan found and deleted adware. The computer loaded extremely slowly and I was not able to do anything. I spent from 10 AM till 6 PM trying to get my computer to work. I had to call my computer manufacture to find Panda phone # on Alexa and was on the phone for hours 2x to Panda tech support, one Tech hung up on me and the other who told me he could not help me anymore and I would have to deal with it myself.
I ended up taking the computer in for repairs but I still am have all kinds of problems.
UPDATE - PANDA is back on my computer after spending hours and $200 to get rid of it.
I am totally screwed.
Moral of the story do not buy Panda.
