Light? Mhh... Okay fine.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Opera or Chrome, it’s still considered as unwanted software.

why? It does ok in AV-Comparatives test, even slightly better detection rate than ESET. They say it has many FPs but I never got a single FP with it to be honest.
yes. Not by a big margin, I would say its 10-15% lighter in terms of OS snappiness, browsing folders with many EXEs, launching programs, and offcourse, it doesn't install any certificate for your browser nor does it have any speed impact on browsing speeds since it has no HTTP scanner which to me is a major plus point not a negative. I have an adblocker and that's all I need for internet protection
How do you come to that conclusion?
The lightest of all would be Notepad, and just like Panda it also will not protect against malware.
indeed, been using it for a long time now and I just can't find a better alternative that suites *my* needs. Most other free AVs are full of bloatware
Well if I don't install Panda, then I might just reinstall F-Secure Antivirus and be done with it although its a bit heavier.I've always questioned Av-Comparative.
In my tests and those of the Hub, Panda is one of the worst antivirus programs.
I invite you to have a look at my tests on it, I think you'll make up your own mind
Wasn't Panda sort of a "novelty" at the time for being one of the first cloud AV's? Otherwise, I haven't even considered it since then.
It was sort of a novelty to reduce signatures and move them to the cloud, but since then they didn’t innovate at all and they remained lighting years behind everyone.
Gamers may prefer the lowest possible system impact to the actual best security.
But I don't think that Panda is the lightest solution out there, even tho it often depends on the individual systems
It is according to the OP. He says its 10-15% lighter than Kaspersky Free. So it's very damn light.
