Does anybody know why Panda performs well in AV Comparative tests ??

Regards Eck
It very aggressively pursues and destroys executables that it hasn’t seen on many computers, technology called for many years “collective intelligence”. Panda protection is entirely hash-based and it has TruPrevent behavioural blocking described in 2 blog posts (never seen in action). Optionally, it has a component similar to Avast hardened mode, called Application Control.

I have been playing around with Panda free off and on over the years and never saw any reaction from the BB component. So I decided to cut the internet and let a couple of malwares run ramant. Still not a proverbial peep from Panda`s BB. Yet by digging into the Process Monitor I was able to stop, block and quarantine them.

After a reboot on a clean system lo and behold I got an alert from the elusive BB but alas it was a false positive...of course but at least this proved that it actually existed.

I think my query should have read, why does Panda bomb totally in some tests yet does well in others ?

Regards Eck:)

I've tested Panda in a VM. I've not done malware tests, I've only tested the software it self, it's awful. The design doesn't make sense.

here is what I found:
Cons:
awful user interface, tiny window, can't be expanded, have to click to show some more that's hiding below.
Nags you about registering email, every time. I know getting alerts if I got pwned is nice, maybe that's what it wants me to do, but it don't mention it, it mentions stuff about managing account. But nagging me about doing it isn't. No ''don't ask me again'' option.

VPN only lasts few seconds, so can't even be properly tested.
No scan options in the task bar

Pros:
The settings are simple, easy to navigate, change settings. This is the best part part of the design. Completely different design philosophy.

I wouldn't use either of these solutions, I did run Panda for some time a while back but I also I was also a bit of an advocate for Webroot years back
:p - See how wrong I can be...

Yeah, they pinched that expression "collective intelligence" from Prevx. Prevx's protection had been based on that for years before Panda caught on and decided to copy them. it was light years ahead of its competition.

You can just use some fake email with a disposable email service such as yopmail.com and get the verification link and it's done, they don't spam you
