Ok first of all buddy the following comments are NOT geared to flame you.
But i did take the trouble to read your comments, and NONE of them even come close to reality.
Admin Earth did make a effort to explain some things and others did as well.


That means you are NOT qualified to make statements and objective comments if you are not prepared to understand how what and why.


This is a MOMENT snap shot and does not reflect the other 200k malwares that are being released per hour.
So if a test proves that Panda is 100% then they can claim it.
Also people need to understand, that within the perfect config, you can achieve 100% detection.. however every little change that diverts from a perfect setting makes the effectiveness go down.
Usually its not the error of a AV engine for not detecting a malware, but individual user settings that override internal protocols that save guard you against malware. (Yes even most new ones)

I agree to the fact that Panda should not advertise with 100% but fact is everyone is doing it. And technically they are right to do so.
Anyway take my advise spend some time on the forums and read up. A whole world will open up for you.
Cheers m8


Omg... and this rootkit just got emailed into your system? You never clicked anything and you obviously never ever did anything that would be regarded as unsafe? Sure panda cannot protect you against a rootkit ...you got to be kidding me.
May i remind you there where one of the first to actually detect and remove rootkits?? May i remind you that 75% of all rootkit scanners out there are pretty much thanks to Pandas efforts?

the malware in ? was from my malware pack i test panda with look at my review

Right i see well did Panda detect the rootkit? either while it was packed, hidden, activated or infected your system, or just doormat in a map to be tested. Because a doormat rootkit is often harmless and often hidden in legit programs which means a AV will look over it. While if you "activate" the rootkit it will get flagged.
Not every rootkit is infecting your system automatic. That being said i did not see that you tested Panda. I was thinking based upon your comment that you got infected by a rootkit while you where running Panda and in that scenario it is pretty hard to get your pc infected without Panda detecting it. (Make sure Detecting is different than actual removing it as the removing part of panda is less spectacular.

@nsm0220 You should be aware no security software can prevent all threats. Performing tests that involve harmful code against security software, there's always a percentage that the product will fail. I'm sure you already knew this.

did you test what happened when you download those rootkits? (because rootkits doesn't appears magically on the HDD, they must come from somewhere, means pass by the webfilter or/and the memory; both supposed to be monitored by Panda).

just scanning or/and clicking on a executable already in the HDD may not be correct

Malware tests in VMs are not 100% accurate.

And it's not Panda saying that ^^
