[QUOTE="bellgamin, post: 1017529, member: 56053"] Actually you need "Panda Complete" or "Panda Advanced" in order to have all the added protections that sly guy made use of. Sadly, AV-Comparatives, AV-test and EVERY other testing organization I have come across ALL use Panda Free as the basis for their tests. However, Panda Free's protective processes do not remotely resemble those processes available with Panda's Complete & Advanced versions. Testing the Free version as being "representative" of Panda's paid versions is like testing a Fiat auto and saying that the results are representative of an Alfa Romero. Panda's paid versions have some quite powerful ancilliary protective options. For instance, Sly guy made brilliant use of the Data Shield process included in the Complete & Advanced versions. (Read the sly guy link provided by [USER=62730]@outlawxtorn[/USER] & see for yourselves.) Panda's Application Control and its Firewall are only available on Panda's paid versions. Application control is a whitelist/antiexe process -- not nearly so advanced as Voodooshield, but a powerful tool nevertheless. Panda's Firewall (FW) is very well designed, and its rule setting process is quite granular -- but also, quite easy to master. ForgottenSeer 58943 used Panda's FW to slam the doors shut on a long list of ports used by trojans et alia. This is not at all possible on the Free version. Fact is, Panda obviously [U]chose[/U] to omit its most powerul ancilliary processes from the Free version that testers are .. uh ... testing. Check the chart of Panda versions [URL='https://www.pandasecurity.com/en/homeusers/free-antivirus/'][I]HERE[/I][/URL] -- the chart is almost half-way down that page -- and see for yourselves. Compared with Panda, the free versions of Bitdefender, Avast, et alia, are MUCH more complete, in terms of included protective options such a Firewalls. I believe this a significant factor in Panda's protection scores being lower than other top tier AVs. [/QUOTE]
