    Strengths: Excelent Virus Detection Inexpensive

    Weaknesses:

    Overall Evaluation: This Software is not very popular. I was a Norton Fanatic. But when I used it I change my mind. I installed it on a computer that was working with Norton, when I has preparing the system to install Panda, It found 17 virus in his first scan, and when the installation completes, I run a full scan and it found 43 virus
