The other major task for a firewall involves protecting against outside attack and keeping the system's ports stealthed, so attackers can't even see it. Here Panda's firewall didn't do so well. Where most firewalls, including the one built into Windows, will stealth all ports, Panda left a number of significant ports merely closed, visible to an attacker.
I thought they might help detect and resist Web-based attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in the operating system, browser, or supporting programs. The antivirus did recognize a file component of one exploit as a Trojan, but that was it. Because the test system is fully patched, its security wasn't compromised. Still, I'd like to know if a website is attempting to attack my PC.
Of course, no amount of firewall protection is useful if the bad guys can just turn it off. I couldn't find any Registry settings that would disable Panda. All of its processes resisted termination by Task Manager except for the URL filter wonder why they don't protect that one?
However, I had no trouble stopping its essential services, and by setting their startup type to "disabled" I ensured they wouldn't start again. This firewall needs to toughen up. Surprising Drag on Performance Panda's tiny installer downloads the latest security components, and after installation the product downloads additional updates.
Although the installer itself is under a megabyte, the full installation with all updates occupies around MB on disk. That's a bit over half the size of the average suite, and quite a bit smaller than Bitdefender, which takes nearly a gigabyte.
I timed the process of booting a test system times with no suite and times with Panda installed; it didn't slow the boot process at all. A script that measures the time required to zip and unzip a large collection of files took 19 percent longer with Panda in place than with no suite, just a little above the average of recent products.
Another test that times how long it takes to fully load websites took seven percent longer, less than half the average drag. The real shocker came when I timed a simple test that moves and copies files between drives. With Panda running this test took over twice as long as the baseline. Just to check, I disabled Panda's protection and ran the test again.
With protection disabled, the results were back to the baseline value. My Panda contact suggested that running a full scan might help, so I did that and repeated the test.
I seriously doubt who with a little common sense will download without knowing what it is. It is really annoying. I got this message too and immediately thought it was spyware infecting my computer. Who was the genius that forgot to put the name of the program on the message? Everyone knows you NEVER click on a link in anything connected to the internet that has no identifying information.
This is day one basic computer class stuff here. Does this antivirus company not know how viruses are spread? This only makes me wary of putting cash out for the product. Brock Savage This sounds a little more serious. We are trying to fix it right now and the fix will be pushed down to all users automatically.
It breaks my heart to see these people criticizing you. This is such an amazing product. But, yes, that was an oops not to put the product name on the update notice.
It is virtually impossible to uninstall once it has its claws in your computer. And it really screws up your registry if you use it. I am going to try the beta Global Protection next because I really trust you guys never to screw up my computer. Brock Savage: Maybe I can help. It sounds like you deleted your MRU, menu order, and Recent cache. I accidentally did this once with a good product called Ccleaner.
The good news: this is not serious at all. Just a little bit of a PITA to get back to normal. Because something cleaned out your registry and temp files. As you open your programs, right click and put them back on the Taskbar. For open-with, you can get some of the defaults back by using windows default programs wizard — type default in your start menu.
It will be there the next time you click open-with. If you do restore from a backup, reinstall Panda and any other programs you might have installed since that backup, just so nothing is screwy with your settings.
Read the instructions in the ReadMe file to learn how to restore from it. The quick guide: let it install with all the defaults. It will automatically backup every reboot. Reboot and your registry is good as new. Oh, all the above is done in Adminstator mode of course! Temporarily turn off UAC and set your profile to Administrator. Made the sound keep skipping — had to take Panda off. Trishia The fix for this will be pushed out very soon. I love your product, it save my computer from a couple of rookit, trojan that my AVG failed to find.
As this is a free product, i hope the quality stays, it is not free to keep engineers to work on it. I really hope you can have profit out of it. Hello, Any way to make the CPU usage lower?
