    Five Year Panda Global Protection 2012 Internet Security Package for One (€13) or Three (€22) PCs from Panda Security (Up to 93% Off)


    Computer viruses are much like pandas; they lull you into a false sense of security by looking cuddly, and then steal all the bamboos when you aren’t looking. Don’t grin and bear it with today’s Groupon distributed by Panda Security. Choose from the following options:

    €13 for a five year Panda Global Protection 2012 internet security package for one PC (93% off)

    €22 for a five year Panda Global Protection 2012 internet security package for three PCs (90% off)

    Computers and cloud-based systems can be inoculated from all attack for a whopping five years with brand new protection that will update and change with the morphing of the malware. Panda has matured a mighty internet security package for 2012 with different functions for gaming, use by children, remote access, and many more. The Panda interface is advanced, intuitive, and considerably easier to work out than the facial expression of a real Panda.

    Reviews

    Panda Global Protection 2012 secured 4/5 from Softpedia. While the reviewer felt the firewall could be stronger and anti-spam compatibility with certain email clients could be improved, the software had a good detection rate for malware and it was effective at dealing with threats without being too much of a drain on processing power.
    1300358092484.pngAs far as detection and elimination rate are concerned Panda Global Protection 2012 is a really great product. It may not be the fastest, but it is definitely a helpful ally in keeping malware at bay.

    Sorry what do you mean by so much free software


  • Site Banned Posts: 1,167 ✭✭✭ASJ112


    I agree with uch, there are a lot of free security programs that are better than Panda.

    The best imo are

    Avast for anti-virus
    http://www.avast.com/en-eu/index

    Malwarebytes for anti-spyware
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/


    Also what browser do you use ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 459 ✭✭CSU


    ..the best free all-in-one imo is:

    Comodo Internet Security


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    Thank you for your help.

    I am using windows vista. I also have AVG FREE at the moment. Is any of these free ones any better so i can compare

    I like microsoft security essentials. Light weight and a good av too. In conjunction with periodic scans using Malwarebytes you should be fine. That and common sense ;)

    run (windows key+r) msconfig and uncheck startup apps.

    run services.msc and turn off un-needed services

    create a new user acc

    see how u get on

    Uninstall all other av's before installing mse


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭ITS_A_BADGER


    i think MSE and malwarebytes did it!! i might buy the full version of malware , also whats the story with avast? is it better thans mse? i feel more protected with a full version of mse than avast

    Everyone will have a view on lots of antivirus software. So it's up to you but a lot of people think MSE is very good. Personally I wouldn't buy malwarebytes pro version. If you're sensible and do some periodic scans with the free version you should be fine but tis up to yourself.

    PS with MSE, go to settings and enable scan removable drives
