How to Install Panda Free Antivirus 2015

[Oxygen]

Hate the bundled offers, but It feels like I'm installing Windows 8.1 with that UI.

The UI is different from the others, it is true.
There is no pop-ups or ads. You can disable "Panda News", I told this in the manual.
I have seen 0 (zero) ad from Panda for 4 days. It is not Avast, it is Panda. You can disable these pop-ups. The company does not force you to see these pop-ps Thanks to these companies like Panda Security.

Never had any pop-ups, either.

I don't mean that the UI is different in looks, I can deal with looks I prefer functionality over aesthetics myself.
The problem it has to speak the UI uses way too many resources and is mostly unresponsive. It hasn't changed since they started using the new UI. And when I tried to move said UI across my screen there was a massive delay and then it would jump around (in the particular area), sometimes it wouldn't even budge at all.

I've opted to just keep their url filter.
And you can? I feel slow now. lol

I see now, sorry I misunderstood you Yes, the UI has some lags. Needs to optimize.

My brother installed it on desktop last 3-4 weeks ago and based from observation as follows:

1) It does not slowdown on XP system, nothing change on shutdown/boot time
2) No need to update cause its already automatic at primetime.
3) Detects 1-2 FP from WPS Office component at default settings.
4) No conflicts so far when MSE is installed although no need for additional capabilities.
5) Pro version blocks ARP IP address possible attacks without user interaction.

Overall: Its worth to install and can be in action within default settings although FP rate is a little bit high on some prevalence rate of legitimate files.

Thank you for posting! Do you have experience with the behaviour blocker, is it any good?

Previously I have tested Panda Cloud for personal review quite a few times.
Its BB was always like doesn't exist i.e never detected anything.

I dont know about the new version.
But as per couple posts here, it seems have improved.

Freddy,
I've noticed you have used both Panda cloud free antivirus and Bitdefender Antivirus free edition.
Detection wise, have you noticed if there is a huge difference between the two ?
Thanks in advance.

Previously I have tested both for my personal review.
I find Bd free better than Panda Cloud.
I find Bd free Active Virus Control excellent, one of the best BB in the market & comparatively a lot better than Panda Cloud.
And I must mention, have not tested Panda Cloud 2015. I am talking about Panda Cloud with old GUI.

I have tested Bd free offline too & performed good.

I used Bd free for quite a long time on Win 7 64 & never faced any probs.
Only occasional prob with Logs button not opening but was easily solved by exiting & restarting Bd free.

New GUI looks like some advertisement window or flash game.

New GUI looks like some advertisement window or flash game.

No ads in the gui, the flash screen (I do not know how does it called) it only directs you to Panda Free Android version.

I meant the main GUI looks like some advertisement window or flash game.

Yes, it has different kind of desing. It has some lags, too

 

[jamescv7]

Well I can confirm that when you are connected in the internet expect a pop up advertisement from lower right screen of your computer and it happens very often.

Yes there's a bit slowdown on accessing the GUI but overall pretty much simple.

I watched a test on Youtube
BB is still not good in this test.

Comparatively, Bd free test done & posted here by Petrovic, BB was excellent http://malwaretips.com/threads/bitdefender-anti-virus-free-2015-review-prevention.45318/#post-380272

I think both the tests are done by MAXCyberDefense

Hi what's lighter for system Bitdefender free or panda cloud free.

 

[TheSuperGeek]

@Davidov I think Bitdefender free is lighter. But it don't include web and usb protect.

 

[yigido]

@Davidov I think Bitdefender free is lighter. But it don't include web and usb protect.

Bitdefender Free has web protection (HTTP scanning)
in my opinion USB protection is not needed. We already have real-time protection

 

[jamescv7]

Some AV products are integrated already and not mentioned on the features except USB Immunization which a different part.

Realtime File System will detect that immediately when malicious Autorun trying to write an information.

Exactly, some features (like webshiled) just exist in software to hoodwink the users

 

[Davidov]

So I tried out Panda and BitDefender and if the lighter is the panda has less imput lag.

Hey exclude the shadow defender for panda cloud free tnx.What should I be excluded?
