Panda Platinum Internet Security 2006 Review

by Narasu Rebbapragada

- Panda Platinum Internet Security 2005 won a Best Buy honor in last November's "Best Defenders" antispyware software roundup. This time around, Panda Platinum Internet Security 2006 ranked third among the ten security suites we tested. The Platinum suite we looked at is more expensive than others ($80 as of 4/15/06), but it offers excellent heuristics with solid firewall and adware protection--a combination that more than makes up for some interface quirks.

User Reviews for Panda Software Panda Platinum 2006 Internet Security

Reviewed by: whyme

Duration of ownership: 12 Months

Strengths: Panda found and removed a virus that plagued me and the best McAfee techs. After that I removed all McAfee products. Panda has done a great job detecting/stopping problems before they crept into my computer. Panda seems to also be overly protective and a pain at times.

Weaknesses: Twice I've had major problems accessing the internet on my desktop and wireless laptop and spent countless hours with techs only to discover the lastest Panda weekly upgrade screwed up everything and held me hostage. The solution was to uninstall and reinstall Panda Internet Security 2006. Frustrating.

Overall Evaluation: I'm cancelling Panda Internet Security 2006 and try Norton. Besides Panda techs take forever to respond to e-mail support and phone support isn't much support.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: Good protection, self-diagnosis, automatic updates.

Weaknesses: None that I have found so far.

Overall Evaluation: I've had Panda's antivirus software for a little over 2 months now. I absolutely love it. It's very user friendly; clean cut, no big macho words or anything like that. It rarely interrupts me with dumb reports, etc. but does tell me when it has found viruses and updated, which is very nice. It does a very good job, and works well with my "layered" protection. Panda doesn't hog CPU usage, unlike other antivirus programs, you don't even know it's there. Recommended for the ease of use, protection and the features.
