If content is missing from your hard disk, if you have problems starting your computer, or if some of your files are unusable, you can be sure you've been hit by a computer virus. You can be infected just by surfing the Net, downloading a file, or opening an email attachment. There are also the dangers of worms and Trojans which now use new stealth techniques to evade detection. With Panda Internet Security 2008 you can use the Internet and download or share files in the knowledge that you are fully protected against all types of viruses, worms and Trojans. Forget about infections!
Whenever you shop or bank online, you have to provide data to verify your identity, such as your account number, credit card number or other ID. This information is sensitive and needs to be protected. Identity Protect feature, lets you know at any time when this type of data is about to be sent out of the computer so you are in control at all times. Don't let anyone access your data without your permission!
Certain emails are designed to trick you into revealing your confidential bank details. They may appear to have been sent from your bank, but they have not. Falling into the trap can be costly: it could give the phishers complete access to your accounts. Panda Internet Security 2008 can identify these fraudulent emails, and prevent you from revealing your bank details, account numbers or other confidential information. Panda Internet Security 2008 includes a configurable personal firewall to stop intruders and hackers from accessing your PC. Turn your computer into a fortress!
No doubt at some time or other you have lost important documents that were saved on your PC, either through unintentionally deleting them or due to hard disk problems or other accidents. You can make simple automatic backup copies that will let you restore these files whenever you need. You can also select the files that you want to save and make b

Summary: constant delays executing commands
Comment: 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

Comment: 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.

Summary: Couldn't Get it to Install
Comment: 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.
