I agree Panda needs to improve on its anti-ransomware capabilities. They had a tool for decrypting your files though, but it seems to be discontinued and of course, they should be able to block the malware first and not provide a tool to try to fix the damage.
If you would have tested the Pro version instead of the free one, the application control might have picked it up, but that is not the product we talk about in this thread of course. Maybe you can make a video with the application control enabled too in the future, to see it adds more protection.
Conclusion: Detection against 'normal malware' is very good, the ransomware one is very bad.

Nowadays with AV vendors, protection take back seat, important is how big checkmark/protected should be, checkmark/protected should be placed in top/middle/right/left, upgrade tab should be placed top/right/left/bottom, ads on the GUI will look good in square or rectangle design, etc... And when they are finished, its time for changelog, major GUI overhaul, smooth navigation, upgrade to higher versions directly from the GUI, mmm lets put improved engine, andddd ohh ransomware is hot nowadays...ransomware protection - improved/new mechanism protects from known/unknown ransomware, And when they are finished, ohh andd ransomware protection will be available only in Total Security...brilliant idea, man...it was tough...lets have a drink...

Thanks @safe1st for the video, a shame it is not detecting iRansom with so many others nailing it. :eek:

Yes, even kaspersky missed it isnt it. few days before this test. But when I test this and re-analyze it.. kaspersky able to detect it.. but its late. Well at least they able detect it eventually.

oh friends, Panda is not that "worst" , just they are weak against ransomwares,btw it need that they improved it...
at this point I agree with @kev216 , @safe1st can you plz test it with Pro version?

sure, will test the PRO version.

thanks guys
have a great day to all of you! :)
