App Review Panda Free Antivirus 2016 Test (MalwareDoctor)

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

My experience is not good with Panda. So I uninstalled it. The sad thing was even after uninstalling Panda AntiFishing Module was still running ( Showing in Task Manager).

I used then Panda Uninstaller tool. But still it was active on my system. I was not able to remove it. Finally what I did I just disabled it's from auto starting up. :(

You can always uninstall url-filtering module from the add/remove programs in config screen.

I had problems with failing windows to boot several times, so no more panda for me on my computer!

I think Qihoo > Baidu > Panda base on my personal opinion.

There is no opetion for that. I got one toolbar uninstall option that I already did. Still nothing.
Shame that a reputed Antivirus company even does not know how to uninstall properly.

That's why,IMHO,it's always better to have a clean system image when installing a new AV or security solution....

Totally agree, the uninstall function on Panda products are horrible, they don't remove the product properly, crash and kill your connection. I tried Panda GP once, couldn't remove it properly, called their FREE tech support and they informed me that the support is only for people who paid for their product.

MD, Great review on Panda AV. Seems like it did really well.

Basic users may get false positives though, and remove or disable legit programs.
