Microsoft Security Essentials v. Panda Cloud Antivirus Free

[Dieselman]

Well watch the videos. You will clearly see that MSE wins and MSE just did great on the latest AV Comparatives.

Obviously the winner is MSE

panda is better than mse

This is an AvB topic, so your opinion is valid.

But I am curious to know, have you had a bad experience with MSE, to make you choose Panda Cloud as the better AV?

its good at blocking better than mse and pctools

According to AV-Comparatives MSE has better detection rate. According to PCMag, Panda Cloud isn't good at removing malware (but it has good detection - still not better than MSE). MSE also uses a cloud-based service that compares file behaviour across computers to discover 0-day malware. MSE works when you are offline, while Panda Cloud needs Internet connection. Both are easy to use and come pre-configured. On the other hand, Panda Cloud is lighter on system resources.

You can try them both for a period of time (not at the same time, of course) and decide for yourself.

I agree on that.

MSE.
Actually just installed it on a family member's PC.
Also considering using it on my own PCs as well when my ESS trial expires.

Not if you buy ANY of the YouTube tests.
