Couldn't Get it to Install 
2008-04-16
I can't say whether this program will work for you. It didn't for me. And apparently others, as well.
First, the autoplay function refused to initiate installation. After numerous attempts, I was able (barely) to get it to begin the installation process. Next, the program refused to install, claiming that I had another anti-virus program (PC-Cillin) installed. I have never used that program, and have only used Norton and V-Com's anti-virus programs in the 7 years I have owned my computer. I am very computer literate, so I removed every remnant of the Norton program from my system (using not only the uninstall routine from the Control Panel, but the Norton Removal Tool furnished at their website). I then went through the registry and removed every reference to Norton and Symantec (the program publisher).
Still no luck installing the Panda program. Still received the error message referring to "PC-Cillin." Believing that V-Com's (now Avanquest's) SystemSuite 7 (or one of its earlier iterations formerly installed on my computer) could be the culprit, I uninstalled that program, and carefully removed any reference I could find in the registry. Hours later, I once again attempted to install Panda. Same problem getting the installation routine to work -- and once working, I still received the same error message pertaining to "PC-Cillin." Incidentally, I could find no reference in the registry to PC-Cillin or Trend Micro (the publisher).
Went to Panda's online support pages. Could not get the FAQ pages to load. No telephone support is provided. Finally utilized the email support. I received no reply for 48 hours. And when I did receive it, it was entirely unhelpful.
Finally, I gave up. I installed Norton's Internet Security 2008, a memory hog, but at least it works.
So far so good

Panda Internet Security is mostly unobtrusive and I haven't noticed any penetrations. That's good. I am frequently asked for my Supervisor's password. This is probably something I could turn off, with consequences of which I am currently unaware. It's a little annoying in any case. It is reassuring to notice, everytime I sit down to Windows (I usually work in Linux), that my Panda installation has been updated.
Way better than Windows One 2008-04-07
I replaced Windows One on several computers with Panda and it's a pleasure compared to what I had from Microsoft. Easy to install and it's pretty innocuous except for some irritations. There is no way, that I can find, to schedule updates... it's either do it manually or it'll do it automatically when you're online. That automatic version is uncontrollable as to when it occurs and it will make anything you're doing... on or off the Web... slow to a crawl or just stop. The other peeve is that it does not allow your Internet cache to dump as you have it selected in your Internet Options. In fact, the cache never seems to dump unless I do it manually and if you forget it for a few days you're back to that crawl speed. Lastly, it prevents issues but you must set it to scan your disk because there's no way to have it set to do so on any regular basis. Compared to what I have had in the past this seems to be doing the trick or, at the least, I'm not aware that it isn't doing it.
Good Product

This security suite is pretty much fool proof. I have been using it for three years. Put it in with your firewall off to avoid the adjusting problems. It is very tough on intrusions. Set it to prompt you for decisions. Well worth the money. Surf with no second thoughts and do what you wish with no threats or barriers. Tell everyone you have Panda and they will hack somewhere else.
It does use a lot of space but it will never fail you. I use the net as if there is no reason to worry about the criminal world. They can't get in.
This does not work with Vista 2008-04-04
I used this software on XP with no problem.
I have installed it on Vista with nothing but problems. Panda wants you to verify with them that your version is legit by sending them your user name and password. They are supposed to send that when you register. They did not, I had to ask for it after they made my software stop working without it.
I input that and the software is still telling me that it will lose functionality without a correct code. I contacted customer service. They give me instruction on finding special files on my computer somewhere and manually inserting my user name and password there. I am not a computer whiz.
I called customer service and waited forever while they played awful music. I have wasted hours on this and have had enough.
My computer is now unprotected. They should give you a 30 day window to get their stupid user name connected to their network before they cut you off. I paid for anti virus protection and I didn't get it.
I uninstalled and re-installed the software and that didn't work either.
Apparently, they are aware of the compatibility issue but have chosen not to fix it. They want me to.

Let's be clear about this. Yahoo anti-spy has been catching things that Panda did not. Windows defender also has caught some trojans that Panda did not. Why would I delete these programs and let Panda be the only protection I have????
the best security software 2008-07-07
I have found this to be the best security software. It is very easy to install and I have had no problems with running it on my pc. I used Mcafee before purchasing panda and had problems with my pc running slow and locking up. No problems with panda and have used it for the past two years.
constant delays executing commands 2008-06-24
With Panda ON, each new web-page 'freezes' for the 1st 10-15 sec; or with typed entries [say, in the Google Box] only the 1st few letters appear, with some of the rest showing up after 15 sec. As I must "skip around" quite a bit, this is driving me up the wall.
I re-boot, immediately turning Panda OFF, and everything works fine [though of course I'm then open to every hacker out there.]
I thought switching to Firefox might help, but the problem continues. My PC does have an early AMD Dual-Core chip but, running XP, is otherwise rather standard
Best Firewall Ever 2008-06-20

Extreme time waster 2008-06-10
Download & install = 30 minutes. Scan computer = 2 hours. Uninstall = 10 minutes. Figuring out how to restore Outlook Express email folders = 2 hours. Total time lost = 4 hours 40 minutes.
Panda Internet Security 2008-04-17
Easy to install seems to work fine, I replaced a CA product on my laptop. I will probably replace McAfee on my desktop when the license for that one expires.
