- Activation nightmare
- I have a three-user license and was able to activate two of the three quickly and easily. The third activation has taken a lot of typing, retyping, checking the documents I received from Panda. Finally, I checked in with with Panda technical support. No joy there.
Tech support was impentrable. They kept insisting I did not exist as a user depite my sending them my screen grab will all of my registration information.
Looks like it's back to Norton for me, and I've experienced significant slowdown with them in the past. - 2008-08-17, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Beware un-installing Panda
- I have had my new laptop only about 3 months. I downloaded a 30 day trial of Panda Internet Security 2008. With 12 days left on the 30 day trial I decided to un-install Panda and try a 15 day trial of Norton Internet Security 2008 to compare the two. BIG mistake. I don't know what Panda took with it on the un-install but my computer was totally wrecked! Running the recovery cd's even failed. I had to send this 3 month old laptop back to the manufacturer for repair. They had to replace the hard drive.I have not used Norton in many years,it used to aggrivate me, But, what i have been reading lately, I think I will go back to Norton. I think it will be a lot safer.

- Total disappointment
- Ever since I installed Panda Internet Security on my two Dell Computers (4550 Desktop and 620 Latitude), it has been hell. Both the computers have been extremely slow. My homenetworking and printer sharing do not work. I tried to make use of Panda's email customer service. I got a response to my first email but thereafter I do not receive any response. After spending hours, I just have uninstalled the software and have returned it to Amazon. I have decided to go back to MacCafee and hope for better luck.

- the best security software
- 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
- 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
NB: [2 weeks later] Panda's E-Mail Tech Support's apparently a facade that sends out a few 'check-list' answers and then just ignores your follow-ups - this is outrageous, especially as I was consistently understanding & polite toward the hapless employee involved.
They directed I edit Explorer's controls after I reported I use Firefox, blamed the problem on the Spybot I'd told them I added 3 months after the problem began, etc, etc; in other words, they don't even read the mail that they dp deign to answer.
I'll give them this, they did put me on to a special McAfee Clean-Up program, but only after I queried them if that UnInstalled Security Suite might still be causing problems [the 'Clean-Up' didn't help].
So, they've taken my money for software they won't help fix and refuse to answer E-Mails to several addresses. And we're supposed to trust these folks with SECURITY SOFTWARE that can give them unprotected access to the very heart of our PCs? Would you trust a GreenGrocer you see spitting into his fruit display? - 2008-06-24, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
