No Problems [Posted on 2007-10-29]
I also had Panda 2007 and the 2008 Anti-Virus & Firewall installed with no problems at all with Windows XP. Everything seems to be working well. I did uncheck the feature that notified me when any "malicious" cookies were detected, as it was popping up on every web site.

Not for the non proficient computer user. Have to tinker firewall setting a little [Posted on 2008-03-06]
I installed this programm on Vista Home Premium running PC. It slowed it so significantly. Before I had McAfee programm and it didn't have any problems with Vista. It (Panda) will make your fast computers into slow moving train. Waste of money.
Update:
Now two days ago when I finally tinkered with firewall (setting which allows certain programs and files to have inbound or outbound or both internet connections) program started to work normally and it doesn't slow my computer at all. It seems by default Panda is very restrictive in allowing your programs to have free internet browsing. There are also intel's remoting services files which don't liked to be blocked by Panda. In short, if something doesn't work when you install Panda try to check your's Panda firewall setting, if you won't firewall will make a wall in your computer.
Update, one more: Here is my letter to Panda customer support: After installing your programm on my Vista home premium PC, my computer started to perform very slowly. Prior to installing Panda I had McAfee antivirus software which didn't slow my system at all (I uninstalled it already). What is going on? Why your programm makes my computer so slow? Please, don't tell me its because Vista is bad programm. I know that Vista is bad but it worked wonderfull with McAfee software and it doesn't with your Panda. I really regret that I installed your programm at my computer. Is there any way to make it not slowing my system.
Here is Technical support answer: Hello,

The reason the computer is operating slowly is because there is most likely remnants of McAfee still on the system. You should run their removal utility to make sure that all remnants of McAfee are removed properly and so it does not conflict with Panda.
It appears that you may have remnant files from McAfee Security application on your system causing conflict for Panda during the installation. In order for you to remove the remnant files, please click on the following link to the view the instructions:

Here is again my answer: Thank you for your help. I did remove all McAfee software. However it wasn't the reason Panda slowed my computer. It appeared that some default setting on Panda Firewall blocked lots of program's inbound and outbound internet connections on my computer. After a changed the setting letting outbound connection to some of my programs-computer started to work normally. I, as a customer, would advise you not to put such powerful defaults in your firewall since it may scare people of not buying your programm at all, since it literally brings computer to a stop and takes lots of macnine resources.
I hope this help someone to find solution to their panda problem

Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2008 Review [Posted on 2008-04-21]
I purchased this software after AT&T DSL changed to Norton for their total security package. Norton required 500 MB of RAM, and you are blocked from using it unless you meet the specs. Panda AV+FW only needs 256MB of Ram and works very well for me to date. I first tried the trial from Panda, then since it worked seamlessly in the background and has a fairly good user interface, I went for the purchase. Amazon has a much better deal for puchasing, especially vs direct from Panda; and it included a rebate offer. The delivery was quick; earlier than I expected and was in good condition. Great product and great service from Amazon.

Very satisfied [Posted on 2008-05-05]
After using Norton, McAfee and even Kaspersky which was installed all last year, I'd have to say Panda takes the cake. Not because of it's insane amount of features, but because of it's simplicity.

I don't want an Anti-virus/Firewall taking over my system, I don't want prompts all the time, or any other issues. Panda uses very little resources, hides in the background, and has done a fantastic job of protecting my system without bugging me. Kaspersky caused conflicts with certain pieces of software, Panda doesn't.

I have it installed on my system as well as a friends and couldn't be happier. It's super easy to use, very slick and streamlined, but most importantly, Panda uses a very solid antivirus detection engine with all the latest updates, does everything it needs to do, and nothing more.

Very highly recommended.

I am extremely happy with this product, I've been using it for 3 years now. It takes up much fewer resources that Norton Anti virus & is quite stealthy while it works in the background.

The most important part of installing this is to make sure that you have gotten rid of all traces of your old Anti virus program. Not doing this first will result in conflicts & a bogged down system.

Panda is fairly basic in it's reporting capabilities & gives you just the basics in user control. You might want to disable some of the warnings that it gives you & let it do its thing, you can also control the length & transparency of the warnings so they aren't quite as annoying.

My only grip with this product is that the first time I tried to register the product, I felt like I was jumping through the proverbial hoops. All in all after initial installation, I feel that it does a great job in protecting my system without all the bloat & hoopla.
