    Terrible service!!! A total and complete scam!! Save yourself the hassle and money and find a service that is stationed in the United States! These people have given me the run around since September, I finally called it and to the 30 dollar hit and purchased a new a different antivirus program. I have been trying to get my account and products together on the same account, and have been hung up on many times, have spoken to 6 different people of which each of them tries to sell me Anytech 360 products and services instead of fixing my issue!! What a huge mistake I made returning to this company!!

    I called Panda regarding the VPN not working, the first call I received the response of, "Oh you have a Mac I do not know how to fix." I was informed someone would call me back, I never got the return call. I then called again to AnyTech 365 and they stated I need additional security for a total of $1,800. When they called this month to do the updates on system I was informed I needed a new "Secure Router". Guess what? Another $1,800. The VPN from Panda Dome has never worked, I would not recommend this product to anyone. Buyer beware! I gave one star because there is not a minus one.

      Switched from AVG which had worked well, but wanted the extra VPN and some optimization tools included in Dome. The computer that is a fairly quick one w i7 processor and 16 GB RAM became unbearably slow after installing Dome. It was like all files or webpages had to be scanned for 30 seconds before being opened.

      I then used the "premium support" included in Dome. They found one malware (being missed by Panda obviously), and then gave me a 10 min long sales talk offering me some service for an additional 300 USD for 1 Y. Did I take it - no! Did they solve the problem - no! I instead decided to remove Panda and purchase another highly rated software which is running perfectly. Panda Dome was just a waste of 70 USD. Learnings: neither did the Panda software nor their support work for me. I will stay away from it for sure.

      I used one of my friend's three licenses for about two months and the conclusion is clear, look elsewhere for your cross-platform security suite needs. Panda Dome Premium is as funny as a farce comedy. The protection it offers is of infant origin and its performance is a mixture of confusion and destructive functions. Panda Dome Premium is one of the most useless applications and its place should be in the trash can. Many will disagree but all will experience the reality of need sooner or later, as long as it's not too late.

      Panda Security is pretty good. I chose this one because of the price. Also, I have had issue with Norton and McAfee and did not want to use them at all. I like that Panda Security is easy to use and navigate through the system, it is also very good at catching things and keeping them off my computer. It is very fast when it runs the scans and easy to read the results. But it could be even easier to navigate through and faster. And although the look of the results is good, it could be more color coded to make it stand out. But overall I like this software. It does what it advertises to do and kept me safe.

      I have used Panda for years and have been quite satisfied with their performance. I was also able to purchase a lifetime subscription for $250 and could be moved from computer to computer. Their help desk has always been able to answer my questions. I like that Panda runs in the background and takes care of any potential problems so I can feel safer when using the internet. When it is working, I do not notice any slowdown on my computer which is a great help. But I would like it to inform me of any virus they detect so that if it came from a certain website or software, I could make the decision not to use either one anymore.

      Panda Security offers a basic version for free and the workload is performed in the cloud which saves computer resources. It's detected and REMOVED a piece of malware that the competitor's PAID for versions missed. But perhaps a more advanced layout for advanced users where more details can be seen. Other than that, my experience was positive.

      I chose Panda Security based on recommendations. The version I used was free to use, which is a big selling point on a budget. It provided all the function I needed without the high monthly or yearly costs. However, it was a little confusing to use compared to others. And ultimately, I didn't keep it because of speed issues as it slowed my computer noticeably. My computer was not high performance enough to handle it. I would find ways to clarify use and speed up the overall processes.

      Panda Security stops spyware better than the three previous brands that I had tried in the last ten years because I had virus problems with all of them.

      The Panda Security software was very easy to use with a very nice user interface. The price was also a great deal for your money and the malware detection seemed to be pretty accurate. However, the biggest issue that I had with this software was the difficulty in recovering falsely flagged files. Also I did sometimes find it a tad bit difficult to navigate and it also scanned slowly. Nevertheless, my overall experience with this antivirus software was good. The pros outweighs the cons. It has a good detection rate, program configuration, and a user friendly interface.

      I installed Panda on an older machine with lower specs than the latest computers. The machine had less RAM to work with, and therefore needed a program that is less resources intensive. Panda takes up fewer resources than other antivirus software. Other antivirus programs slow older computers to a crawl. Panda runs in the cloud and is therefore much easier on computer resources. Although, it can be difficult to update the program sometimes. When I tried to update software, it froze, and I ended up needing to completely uninstall it before installing the latest version.

      Panda Security seems to do a lot of things that other antiviruses having included with their service. And runs in the background while not making my computer slow down. Making sure that I am protected around the clock feels nice and because of that never got a single Trojan. Also having a call blocker combined with protecting me from viruses while shopping online.
