Panda Antivirus Titanium - Panda Software Review

Overall Rating

removes viruses or trojans on my computer

I would advise anyone and everyone from purchasing Panda Antivirus Titanium Anti Virus Software because I made the mistake of doing so and now i have to get a decent antivirus program just to make up for all the crap that panda put me through. I suggest norton or mcafee.. even pc-cillin..

the program continually reminds you that it's installed and working (no matter how many times you click the "DO NOT REMIND ME EVER AGAIN" button). The auto update feature asks you to continually re-enter your password even though they are already entered.. in other words, this stupid thing is very buggy.. also tech support BLOWS! i emailed them probably 5 different emails over a 2 month period. NO RESPONSES. i even used a different email accounts (yahoo, earthlink, hotmail) thinking maybe their system filtered out email accidently. Then i called them. They transferred me to a voice msg. no calls returned. EVER. Then i asked to speak to a supervisor. Same drill. Answering machine, no returned calls. etc.

  Panda Antivirus (every single one of them) are in general at best, horrible. They, as the person before me said, constantly have popup messages saying that they are working, tell you that you need to update even though you have, tell you that your username and or password are incorrect even though they work on the panda website (yes i had entered them correctly and i know they are case sensitive). The list is endless, it somehow randomly switches to Spanish and the only way to resolve is to reinstall it. If you are lucky, while uninstallling it will manage to take 10mins, it gets stuck at 25% for about 9 of those 10min. It can also randomly come back on the PC even though it is uninstalled. If you try to uninstall again it has some error telling you it cannot find the uninstall file, though the program works fine? Then the only way to get rid of it is to go through a format of the PC or going through the registry and PC to get rid of every single panda file or reference to panda.
  The Panda firewall will block even its own updater from the internet and will stop Internet Explorer from accessing the internet as well. You go through the settings to allow them inbound and outbound access and guess what? they already are set to that. You disable it and can browse the net, but panda constantly tells you that the firewall is turned off. Then there is the Web Content Filtering, more like Internet blocker. Normally this program is supposed to stop access to any website without a supervisor password. It works fine, if you had installed it with your own password. Again, Panda somehow miraculously installs this on its own and you can no longer access the net, what's that you say? Yes, you must reinstall it to get it working again. The antivirus will also magically obtain errors which even reinstalls cannot fix. Therefore Panda has now forever been banished from my PC which I had to format because I couldn't uninstall it. Honestly, Panda is pretty much good for nothing unless you want to wreck your enemies' computers or have no access to the net.
