Panda AV (resource hog) and Fatal Exceptions at the Window.. - Hi, I installed Panda AV on my Win 98SE machine (PII, 384 MB RAM), because of Update issues with NSW 2003. I NSW by the end of August 2004, as per detailed and NSW 2003 without the AV..

Panda? - What's the general consensus about Panda Titanium? I've used the online scan and a tech suggested I buy it, but I was wondering how it matches up with NOD-32, AVG, et al.

panda - hi I use panda platinum and if I click on the symbol on the task-line it shows me that firewall is not enabled. If I open panda properly it says it is enabled, so what is true here and why does panda itself? Dirk

Panda IS 2005 - Ever since I've had Panda Internet Security (about 9 months now), I've been unable to get it to run the rescue floppy disks. They can be created OK and I can boot my notebook from disk 1 (USB drive) but when I insert disk 2 as requested I get 'Error on

PANDA AV IS THE BEST - Using Panda AV in a network gives better results then any other program. We have it now for over 1 year and it performs twice as good as Sophos in our company.

I start with an apology since I have already asked a similar question.
My laptop runs Windows XP. I have Panda Titanium 2006 which has antispyware.
I also have Windows Defender which (I assume) does the same job. Can I just
switch off Windows Defender? I check my laptop on a weekly basis for spyware
with Adadware.

Try Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security 2007:

It's the best suite, in my opinion.
