The word virus immediately sends a message of alarm, and why shouldn’t it?! A virus either brings sniffels and chills or has the potential to wreak havoc on your pc. Everyday we equip our bodies with what we need to stay healthy to ward off those awful viruses. Shouldn’t we do the same for our computers?Of course we should! Antivirus software equips your PC with the proper protection before you connect to the internet, exposing yourself to unknown dangers. For this reason 6StarReviews felt it was essential to search for the best antivirus software.
Panda Antivirus 2007 was one of the products that we tried out. Detailed below is our Panda antivirus review.
User Interface and Product Application
The installation process for Panda Antivirus was a smooth process with only a little confusion (there is a spyware scan mid install process) and a relatively fast process. I like the ease and speed at which this occurred.
By looks alone this product may be the easiest to use with a simple set up process and easy to use interface as there is almost nothing to it. 6StarReviews feels that consumers are bound to feel comfortable with this product. Panda is an easy to install product that came defaulted with preset functions, just the way we needed them. 6StarReviews loves that Panda updates “at least” once a day…you can request more frequent updates. I suspect this is going to be a nice install and forget product as time goes on.
Panda’s Antivirus comes with an antivirus and antispyware software. Panda allows you to block, delete, clean, and quarantine infected files and does not slow your pc down during virus scans which is helpful to those constantly on your pc. With this being said, we noticed some obvious adware penetrates Panda’s security software.
6StarReviews’ Favorite Feature: Protects Against Online Fraud
Panda’s Anti-Phishing technology blew us away. This feature seemlessly integrated into my Outlook program! This technology allows you to stay safe from scams. Panda’s anti-virus allows you to bank and shop online, as they say, with peace of mind!
