Not a fan of Panda, nor of this testing method, but let's be honest, if we would bash every AV that failed against some new samples, then we would have no AV left over. Panda is still one of the bigger names in the AV industry and just like every company they do their best to keep up with all those new attacks each day.
It's a free limited features product and not more than that, what would you want, that it blocks everything? Now he ran maybe 500 samples in 2 minutes, but what is the chance that an average user would discover such a sample in the time between first appearance and detection by the signatures? And with that I mean not looking for the danger dark sides of the internet, but just simple browsing. Close to zero. It isn't the best for brand new malware, but that doesn't mean it isn't usable or enough protection for the average not so techy pc user that doesn't care about these tests or scores. And those reactions below the video on youtube... If you like their products, use them, if you don't like them, use something else, but know that also your competitive product isn't flawless against all malware.
About the 100%, he better show all websites of companies that have that on their website. Now it's like only Panda shows this. The people of the marketing department also need to do work for their money anyway...
