I started having problems with Facebook apps with my last 2 machines that had Symantec running and so I now have 6 licenses for this and I am VERY pleased. I should note that it does such an excellent job of preventing you from getting a bad file on your machine that any scheduled scans are redundant which is good since that is the only place it seems to get confused, but I just do a manual full scan about once every week or 2 and it have NEVER caught anything so the barrier it presetns to any virus must be effective, this also includes malware and tracking cookies. After a TON of reading and talking to people I got this because it updates itself almost invisible it usually does not even let you download a infected file (Symantec would let me download one then try to prevent me from opening it, not 100% effective). Well all I can say is that after using Symantec Endpoint for about 4 years I started the switch to Panda in 2008 due to heavy overhead and the fact that my daughter and me compared notes and the only time we have ever gotten a virus was while Symantec was running. I wouldn't bother with this software period. We both moved to the PC Doctor Spyware Tools with Antivirus. *** Edit, I have changed this review to 1 star since pretty soon after this review it also failed on my husband's machine. I did give this 3 stars as it is working fine on my husbands Windows 7 machine. This happened enough that I paid $10 to upgrade my PC Doctor Spyware tools to the version including antivirus protection. I had to go into safe mode again and remove panda. It somehow again caused problems with Panda and again I couldn't get into windows. After I finally did get it to work, I had a few days later installed another program. I had to solve this by going into safe mode, uninstalling Panda, and trying again.Ģ.

When I rebooted, it would no longer go into windows. It did not cleanly finish installing the program. I did download the version of Panda from their website that was created for Windows 7.ġ. This may be true but here is the problem I have despite this being a clean install of Windows 7. I'd read it was an excellent antivirus program.
