I have been using Panda Antivirus since 2008, and I have never had any problems at all with my computer. The rates are reasonable, & they make it easy for you to renew & download their products. I have recommended Panda to many of my friends & family.

I have Windows 10 and my computer would not update properly, so I called for help. Ivan was courteous, patient, and clear in his explanations. He made sure I understood and had printed the documents I needed. I was able to renew and continue to have a secure antivirus service. Thank you.

Panda makes multiple useful products that all seem to be simple to use and effective. I especially like that the virus tools do not seem to significantly affect performance of other software I use. Panda's good name and performance has lead me to opt for the paid services of a protection scheme provider for the first time ever.

At first I was skeptical, but I needed a product to replace Microsoft Essentials. I read many product reviews and confidently chose Panda. That was over a year ago and I have since renewed my subscription with Panda. The program has saved me a lot grief, based on the number of times it has blocked potential viruses.

I must say I have not had any of the usual problems. The programs are fast and I just have problems not understanding what I need to do sometimes. I am 75 yrs. young, but I need a dictionary! LOL. I do think it is one of the best I have ever tried. I certainly will keep it and recommend it to everyone I get a chance to. Thank You, Panda Team!

After completing the scan, I review the report and find 2 Trojan horses and the program ignores them. In the status column there is nothing...like the other detected items it states blocked or ... I have done a complete scan more than once with the same result. Do not know of the corrective action.

Your product functions as expected. I wish I could say the same for the rest of the experience. Your website fails to understand the product version I have and navigation is less than good. Also, after installing the new version, your ** renewal pop-up continues to appear. FIX THE STUFF THAT ANNOYS YOUR CUSTOMERS.

I have found Panda to be an effective antivirus, and have used it for many years. My only problem is when I renew each year. Probably mostly my problem, in not being patient. Not happy with repeated pop-up two months before renewal time. Again I find Panda effective.

I've been using the free version of Panda Security for six or seven years. In that time, my laptop has been virus-free. Although it is possible that I'm guilty of a "post hoc, ergo propter hoc" logical fallacy here, I choose to believe that Panda Free is reliable security software for my needs. Mind you, I'm mildly irritated by the daily pop-ups promoting Panda Pro, but I probably should provide Panda a pass for trying to prompt me to pursue an upgrade.

When I tried to uninstall and reinstall my Panda renewal I was unable to so. So I went to the chat box and got a representative. She was also unable to install my new panda subscription and we frustratingly disconnected. I went to a number on my phone for Panda assistance and got a fellow that sounded like he was from India. So I explained my situation and he told me my computer had been infected with Trojan horse malware and would require some time to uninstall and reinstall full protection. I got guided help throughout the entire experience, although he was somewhat hard to understand. I got new Norton protection and will not be paying for the Panda I could not install.
Reviewed Dec. 6, 2017
While using Panda software, we were called repeatedly by someone stating they were from Panda, very rude, trying to get on the computer, etc., etc. I called Panda, and the representative I spoke with told their server had been hacked. They accepted no responsibility whatsoever for this and even charged me to reinstall their software! Very poor business practices! I stopped using the product then and went with another software who will accept responsibility for their clients names being hacked and someone calling and harassing them.

Panda may be efficient in finding and removing viruses but is not in preventing intruders like wanna cry to encrypt your files, lost forever. It happened to me during that famous cyber attack as my backup drives were still connected to my computer just after a backup. Panda needs to be improved.

Very easy renewal process except for having to delete prior version and reinstalling. Think they should just be able to upgrade. This catches a lot of viruses and have been a customer since 2008. Very happy with them & continue to pay for the service even though we can get another one for free.

A hacker got into your system and got ahold of my product and Phone info. They ripped me off of 500$. I will probably never get it back. I have a new computer now, and tried to install it via disk, 2xs. It finally took, but it also says that I have 3 devices downloaded, and in actuality, I only have 2. I may have to go elsewhere if this is not fixed. All has been reported to the proper authorities. Scammers are everywhere, and where they got my info from, had to come from your company, along with my name, etc. I really am sad about this, since Panda has been good in the past.
Reviewed Dec. 2, 2017
We have been a Panda subscriber for about 20 years. In that time we have not had any issues because Panda will catch harmful items before they can infect our machines. I highly recommend Panda for anyone shopping for protection. We use Panda Global protection and are very satisfied with it.

I am a retired IT specialist and I think Panda Cloud antivirus is one of the best available. It updates itself, uses very little system resources and is very effective protection for my network. I have used Panda Cloud FREE version for many years and it has exceeded all my expectations.

I've been using Panda antivirus software on three personal systems for quite some time now and have never had any problems with malware or viruses. The software seems efficient in that it does not appear to slow the systems or application down any. Support is good as well. The one or two times I've requested support there has been a quick reply. I also find interface straightforward and easy to use. Overall I've been quite happy with Panda antivirus software.

Crashes all the time. Every few minutes, a small box would pop up (Windows alert - not Panda) telling me that some module crashed. A google search indicated that it was a Panda module. I tried to uninstall/reinstall twice. In each case, it worked without issues for a day or two and then started the same behavior of crashing regularly again. Do not recommend.

I have had some difficulty in determining the CAPTCHA function - though did determine that it is not size-based to make the function work. Once I figured that much out chaining the passcode was simple. I cannot determine the Customer ID - though likely due to the Freeware application ONLY at the time. Though If I am incorrect in that presumption - please do send the Customer ID.

Panda Security offered a sale for next year. I responded to it, I thought it downloaded, and I was good for another year. Then I receive a email from Cleverbridge that my Security from Panda was suspended. Now I don't know if I do or don't have a computer security system. I checked my charge account and of course that was charged. In the interim, I have been sick, so I did not call, but am going to. It seemed so easy to extend, apparently easy doesn't work. So please someone contact me as to just what I have and paid for! Subscription #** Panda Internet Security was canceled.

Reliable and easy to use program. Would recommend Panda to other computer users. Easy download and set up and requires very little maintenance to make sure the program is performing the way it should. The free download is great and you can rely on enough anti virus protection as any user would want.

Best Antivirus I've used to date. Not a memory hog like the big names Norton or McAfee. I've never had a virus on my computer with Panda, and it's caught a few suspicious things while on the net.

The actual renewal was relatively easy. Since then, I have tried to login to my account at Panda, but have not been able, due to the lack of instructions for typing the "words" to prove I am not a robot. Usually 2 words appear, and I have tried typing both words exactly as they appear, with a space separating them. That doesn't work. Neither does eliminating the space, or typing only one of the words. Just how is your system supposed to work???

The renewal notice that kept popping up in the corner of my screen would not go away even when I clicked on the X. It left a large grey rectangle on the screen that blocked other content that I needed. It also generated constant script run errors. To get rid of this I renewed a month early. Instead of adding a 12 months onto my subscription, 12 months were added to the date I renewed! I essentially lost a month of service. If this pop-up causes problems next year I will cancel.

I've always enjoyed Panda services. Their antivirus software is the best in the world, hands down. Their software, used to be a bit hard on the uninstall process - becoming nigh impossible to uninstall. Haven't had to uninstall any recently, so not sure if that was fixed. I would like to see Panda offer Malware Protection as strong as Malwarebytes does. That would easily make my day (and life) complete. Only thing I don't like (or else you'd have 5 stars) is there seems to be an issue with the Firewall synching with my Windows 10. It's like the computer sees it's there, but sees it as "On but doing nothing". Not sure.

I find the Panda free Antivirus superior to many paid antivirus programs. The constant scanning of your files is a big plus in catching things before they become a problem. The ability to vaccinate a flash drive when it is plugged into a USB is a major step beyond other paid for programs. I especially appreciate the Panda Cloud Cleaner. I also like the deep scan with the antivirus program. It caught things that even an expensive paid for program could not catch.

There are three main reasons why I like Panda among the others:
