Real-World Protection Test February 2017

[Atlas147]

Panda 100% and no false positives, and there are people who say that Panda is weak,
In the test it was better than Kaspersky, Eset, Norton, Avira and AVG

It seems like panda only performs in tests like these, where as it performs poorly when tested in our own malware hub. Whether or not these tests are accurate it's up for you to decide

I didn't notice avast! actually scored 100%. The remaining 0.3% that falls into "user dependent" is actually Behavior Shield which shows the popup with "Fix automatically" selected by default. I'm advanced user and I'd click ok which would result in a block. Or in other words, as far as I'm concerned, the user dependent in my book (and for me) I count user dependent as correct detection.

Me too because most of users will click Block or something like that in case antivirus ask what to do.

Emsisoft 100%, great product.

There are exceptions, but when people aren't sure, they generally select BLOCK. Or just click OK, which is why BLOCK is a pre-selected option in Behavior Shield warnings...

Anyone can interpret the test as they like.What i want to say, is that i'm not surprised by Panda's result. I use Panda Internet Security on one of my machines.It's true that in on-demand scanning it's a bit weak, but in terms of real-time and proactive protection, it's very,very good.

I've used Panda IS on a spare computer for 6 months (giveaway) and lets say I agree with you, very good protection and no problem.
The best test is to use a product yourself

I agree with the comments about Panda. Been using free version for about three years now. Never had any problems with it and the lightest AV by some margin on my machine. In that time I've tried several other AV's just to see what they were like but I've always returned to Panda.
