12.PANDA ANTIVIRUS
| Interface & ease of use |  | 8.0 |
| Installation & setup |  | 7.0 |
| Service & support |  | 6.0 |
| Performance | | 7.0 |
Jeff Bertolucci ZDNet US
Published: 09 Jan 2003
With familiar drop-down menus, helpful wizards and a Web-like Home screen, Panda Antivirus Platinum 7.0 is sure to please anti-virus beginners. Like its competitors, Panda scans incoming and outgoing mail for viruses, prevents malicious Visual Basic and JavaScript files from running amok, and updates its virus definitions via the Internet. Version 7.0 also features a personal firewall to prevent Internet interlopers from accessing your computer, a tool found in McAfee's VirusScan 7.0 but not Norton AntiVirus 2003. However, Panda falls short on its virus-detection skills and telephone technical support. Nevertheless, current Platinum 6.0 users will want to upgrade for the improved interface and new firewall, but everyone else should opt for either McAfee or Norton.
Installation and interface
Panda Antivirus Platinum 7.0 is easy to install, whether you use the installation CD or download the program. We chose the latter route and transferred the 29MB setup file to our test PC in minutes. Setup requires little effort from you, and when it's up and running, a mini icon is loaded in the Windows System Tray.
Oddly, during setup, Panda scans only your system memory for viruses -- not your hard drive. By comparison, both Norton and McAfee automatically scan both the memory and hard drives. Like its competitors, though, Panda does conduct a full system scan immediately following setup. In our test, the scan took 26 minutes -- performance that's on a par with initial scans by Norton and McAfee.
Panda automatically installs and configures its built-in firewall, but also allows you to disable the firewall if you choose. Like McAfee's firewall (Norton doesn't include one), Panda creates a list of installed programs that require Internet access and doesn't attempt to block them thereafter. Surprisingly, in our test, Panda failed to include AOL in this list of programs. However, it's easy to correct such an oversight, using a pop-up menu that appears whenever Panda first denies a program access to the Internet.
Panda's redesigned interface makes it simple to tweak the default settings. To change the mail-protection settings, for instance, simply click the Panda icon and check the appropriate boxes on the subsequent screens. It's just as easy to schedule scans by following the Scan Wizard's step-by-step instructions.
Features
Once Panda detects a virus, it eradicates the viral intruder without pestering you. Norton works the same way, whereas McAfee seeks your consent before taking action. We prefer the automated method, so Panda gets high marks in this category. As with Norton and McAfee, Panda allows you to reconfigure its detection settings to block, delete, clean or quarantine infected files.
Panda's email scanner works with SMTP and POP3 clients (but not AOL), which means that it scans incoming and outgoing mail for rogue code in most popular email programs, such as Outlook, Outlook Express and Eudora. Panda's on-demand scanning feature also examines email folders, like McAfee and Norton.
Panda loads with Windows and runs in the background, monitoring downloads and files as they're opened. It automatically downloads viral signatures without your input, but always posts a screen detailing its activities. Like McAfee, Panda scans ZIP files as they're downloading to your PC, but you have to change the default settings to activate this feature.
Performance
In ZDNet Labs' performance tests, Panda Antivirus Platinum 7.0 is comparable to Norton in scanning speed (the amount of time it takes to search your PC for viruses), but takes a significant toll on overall PC performance -- more so than either McAfee or Norton. To measure Panda’s impact on system performance, ZDNet Labs used BAPCo's SysMark2002, an industry-standard benchmark. The Internet Content Creation portion of SysMark measures a desktop's performance running off-the-shelf applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Windows Media Encoder and Macromedia Dreamweaver. We did not run the Office Productivity portion of the benchmark because it incorporates McAfee VirusScan 5.13.
Our test system was a Compaq Evo W4000 running Windows XP Professional with an Intel P4 2.4GHz processor and 512MB of DDR RAM. With Panda Antivirus Platinum 7.0 running, our test system scored a dismal 81 -- a 19 percent reduction in overall system speed. In comparison, McAfee VirusScan 7.0 scored a 97, only a 3 percent reduction in system speed, while Norton AntiVirus 2003 scored a 95, or a 5 percent reduction (an Internet Content Creation score of 100 represents the performance of our test system without any extraneous software running). In a test of scanning speed, Panda's 3.1 minutes tied with NAV 2003's time, while VirusScan 7.0 remains our speed champion at 1.7 minutes.
Unfortunately, Panda's virus-blocking performance is a mixed bag. To determine whether the program effectively blocks viruses, we examined its past performance in tests conducted by independent antivirus-testing laboratories. In the latest Virus Bulletin tests, Panda earned the coveted VB 100 percent rating only once in its four most recent attempts, having failed three of the Windows tests. By comparison, Norton AntiVirus won all of its tests, while McAfee VirusScan won its only test during that same period.
However, Panda performed as well as Norton and better than McAfee in live virus tests conducted by German AV-Test.org. Previous versions of Panda have also been certified by the independent antivirus-testing laboratories at West Coast Checkmark (Web site) and ICSA Labs (Web site).
Technical support
Hopefully, your method of choice for product help will be either via the Web or email because Panda doesn't offer phone support -- not even for a fee. Norton and McAfee offer phone support, although it's expensive in both cases. Panda’s technical support answered our email queries within 24 hours, which is on a par with the response time from the competition. We particularly liked Panda's support wizard, which steps you through the process of creating a technical query. The program's help section includes a handy FAQ, as well as direct links to Panda's support site.
Panda Antivirus Platinum 7.0 is a fine virus killer with a clean, uncomplicated interface. It's a good choice for users upgrading from version 6.0, although (ex. VAT) upgrade price is relatively steep, and upgrades from earlier versions cost -- the same price paid by new customers. If you're new to antivirus software, you're better off buying Norton AntiVirus 2003 or McAfee VirusScan 7.0, both of which offer slightly superior scanning tools and better support options.
13. SIMWORKS ANTIVIRUS Protection for your mobile phone through SimWorks Anti-Virus is decent at best, but lacks the additional features and functions that would make this software really worthwhile. SimWorks Anti-Virus only works on phones running the Symbian operating system, and is solely antivirus protection rather than complete security.
Unfortunately, updates of virus definitions and signatures aren’t updated automatically to your phone wirelessly. When updates occur, they are made available online.

16.TRENDMICROTrend Micro Antivirus and Antispyware has made gains since last year, introducing a number of features in its 2008 model that are useful in both the home and small office. Aside from the intuitive interface, Trend Micro provides a number of configuration options that allow the user to control the application, something we faulted Norton Antivirus 2008 for not providing. And Trend Micro Antivirus and Antispyware 2008 also supports the current releases of AOL's and Yahoo's instant messengers, again something that Norton Antivirus 2008 doesn't provide. But on the critical question of protecting your PC, we could find no independent data comparing Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware with our Editors' Choice, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7. Thus, we cannot, at this time, rank the latest offering from Trend Micro. Check back in a few weeks to see any updates to this review.
Setup
We installed Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2008 without incident. It requires 100MB for installation and 256MB of RAM for operation, and it runs under all versions of Windows, from 2000 through Vista. Trend Micro AV AS supports both Internet Explorer and Firefox. It will scan e-mail for Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail (Vista), and Mozilla Thunderbird, but not Qualcomm Eudora. It will monitor or scan current IM releases from Yahoo, Microsoft, ICQ, and AOL. Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2008 includes only one PC license at . Kaspersky is slightly more expensive, selling its single-user license ; it offers a three-user license. Should you decide to remove Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2008, the program includes its own uninstall icon.
The interface is a simplified version of the one used in Trend Micro Internet Security 2008. Still, compared with the brooding, overbearing look and feel of Norton Antivirus 2008, we really like it. Features are accessed along the left-hand margin, while the large right window is used for detail. Configuration options occasionally pop up additional windows, but never more than one.
We like the easy-to-use and intuitive interface
of Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2008.
