Are you sure about Panda 2008 beta ???
As far as I know, Panda 2009 was in beta and Panda 2008 has been released 10 months ago ….
hate to me be nit pick. But could you also check out the cloud av functionality. Basically when panda scans any file as suspicious, it will send data to its Cloud solution called Collective Intelligence to give cure instantly.
I see in video review 2, you actually cancel the prompt to enable net connection to allow this. I just want to know, if this actually increases their detection.
see: http://it.tmcnet.com/topics/it/articles/33301-panda-security-launches-beta-panda-internet-security-2009.htm
Yes i i think you should use the Collective Intillegence with scanning from the cloud!!
You said that Panda cant delete the Virus, only in safe mode.
it just stuck at Virusheat, it deleted the virus that been detected so far what i could seen. I use the beta and it has crash for me just like it had for you in the start up.
I think you should do the review again when Panda has published their 2009 Version, and scan IN THE CLOUD.
Dont understund why you did´nt do that?
If you are so smart why don’t you test it?Leave him alone….i think he has a life!!!
Hey Matt .
i told you thet panda is very bad anti-virus …
i know cuz in our forums in israel we are tasting all the anti-viruss…
any way can you try BitDefanders ?…
Everybody! On the cloud thing…I will upload a short video on CLOUD, however I’m not endorsing anything that REQUIRES an internet connection.
When I’m on location with a client there is a pretty good chance they will not have an internet connection due to a massive infection or a disconnection from their ISP due to spamming/port scanning.
If they dont have an internetconnection, they cant update there Antivirus? So you should´nt have Internet connection at all? Just install the AV and then scan?
By the way, why do you do this reviews? What´s the point?
No fence, i think it´s fun to watch your reviews =)
peace
Hi Malwarekilla,
I agree for your kind of work it may not be right. But for my corporate setup, its good since we have large bandwidth with all machines directly/indirectly connected to Internet. Right now I have Panda Subscription for our machines. As of 2008, their detection is decent. Not at par with others.
But the Panda Sales person, convinced us that Panda 2009 will solve all that. So I want to know if their is any truth in their statements. Mcafee also has a similar in-lab solution called Artemis , which dramatically increased their detection (http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse/mcafee_artemis.pdf). And since Panda is the only one to release such a technology in a public product, just want to know how much is the truth before we commit.
Also a clarification on your test procedure. Why don’t you do the memory scan as in Setup ?? In most cases, when you go to install software you would remove malware in memory, so that the AV install is not affected. Right ?
