I haven't used Panda Antivirus Pro to make a fair comparison, but out of the box experience with Norton is almost flawless. Norton Security is a full suite with Antivirus, Antispyware, Behaviour Blocker and Firewall, with Cloud + Reputation scans.

From Panda, I have only used their Free Antivirus, but it would be unfair to make a comparison when it comes to features and levels of protection, however, Norton felt a lot less sluggish on the system (old system: Intel C2D 2.2GHz, 3GB DDR2 RAM).

@King Cobra In the future, I would not check "Allow multiple votes", for these types of Polls.

I had Panda AV pro for about 5 years. Then I got infected so badly that even the malware was able to stop the processes of Panda and it shut it down completely. On top of that my pc was locked. Panda detected nothing, even if the malware was downloading tons of stuff in the background. After manually fixing a lot, I installed Norton and it removed everything that was leftover by the malware. My vote goes to Norton, because panda failed that much then. This was about 3 years ago, so they improved a lot since then, but I can never forgive Panda for that massive fail.

Comparing from their protection wise then seems the cloud build functionality has an edge for Norton compare to Panda, same goes to their Behaviour blocker techniques which their Sonar [Norton] is also active; I didn't saw any encounter for Panda's secondary component.

However the Application Control of Panda may not be practical a bit since its a highly interactive mode without fix build rules for whitelist.
