[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1118529, member: 92939"] Panda Dome is a Spanish-based antivirus, acquired by WatchGuard a few years ago. There are few changes in this 2025 version, but Panda is banking on artificial intelligence. Let's check it out! [MEDIA=odysee]id=fa5a53ca86d1889f0eafad765e9dba9db20c81f9;name=Panda-Dome-Free-2025;path=%40Shadowra%3Af%2FPanda-Dome-Free-2025%3Af[/MEDIA] Interface : The interface is unchanged but modern. Panda offers a few settings, but remains easy to use, especially for computer novices. On installation, Panda suggests Opera, but I refuse. Panda doesn't offer Web protection either, so the URL test will be carried out with the interceptor. [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Web protection: 7/7[/COLOR] Apart from 3 dead URLs, Panda blocks all infected downloads on launch. [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Fake crack : 1/1[/COLOR] Panda blocks executions. RunDLL32 tries to launch but crashes, blocked by Panda.. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Malware Pack : Remaining 45 files out of 132.[/COLOR] While it did well in the first test phase, the pack was a cold shower... Panda struggles to block attacks from scripts and other installations. It will try to defend itself by blocking a few payloads, but this remains completely inadequate. Panda is totally lacking in the pro-active and behavioral protection needed to defend itself properly. At the end, a self-replicating worm launches (Unicorn) and saturates the memory, forcing me to reboot and stop the test. Final scan : Panda: 0 NPE : 8 KVRT : 27 - [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Infection Memory[/COLOR] Final opinion: Panda unfortunately retains its bad reputation, despite some good ideas. I must admit I'm a little disappointed, as I saw some positive things at the start, but Panda plays the wrong cards and is totally lacking in behavioral protection to protect effectively. The recipe hasn't changed, and I still don't recommend Panda Free. [/QUOTE]
