Panda anti-virus enquiry?

i have a copy of panda platinum anti-virus 2005 which i got with my computer in the software bundle



i have only decided to use it now so i have a few questions i would like answered



1.as it is a year old(but unused),will there be any problems with registration,because it is a 2005 edition



2.as it has a firewall on it,do i have to disable my one in sp2,or can i run both



3.will the spyware apts conflict with any of my existing programs(spybot,adaware-se)



4.i have 12 months free services with the disc,will they start from the day i install it?



i also have a copy of norton anti-virus that came with the motherboard chipset drivers disc,so can i put this on my second machine when my existing subscription runs out



anyone used panda before,i would be glad of any feedback



thank you



Panda anti-virus enquiry?antivirus software



1. As long as you have an activation code with the CD you will be able to register it



2. When installed it will disable your Windows XP firewall for you



3. Yes ... you will want to run Panda by itself to avoid conflictions



4. Yes from the day you register is when you subscription will start



5. Not only do I use it I am a Level 2 technician at Panda Software US

Question about Norton Anti virus and virus detection?

I was browsing the internet yesterday and suddenlly I got a window that popped up from my Norton Antivirus software saying that Norton AntiVirus had detected a virus and that it has been immediately deleted. I ran a virus scan afterwards and there were no threats. I've never had this happen before so my question is, do I need to do anything, like go into the Norton and quarantine or do something to make sure my computer is threat-free? Or is it all taken care of? I don't know, it just seems too easy to have the software delete the virus immediately and then that's it!



Question about Norton Anti virus and virus detection?antivirus



Its all taken care of, but you should switch to mozilla firefox instead of Internet Explorer.



Mozilla wont allow websites to load files onto your computer the same way that IE does.

Norton Anti-virus- is it necessary?

If I have Spybot Search and Destroy, and if needed I can get Ad-aware and Kaspersky software, is it ok for me to uninstall Norton Anti-virus?



as it is apparently bloatware and slows my computer down



Norton Anti-virus- is it necessary?ariel



Kaspersky will do everything you want, i have it installed on my machine.



Norton Anti-virus- is it necessary?computers



Delete Norton if it will let you,Norton wants to hang in your system hopeing you will pay for the updates etc.



Just incase

Good luck
spybot and adware are COMPLETELY differant then an anti virus software. ONLY and anti-virus software can scan for a virus that is hidden on a file or attachement because there are ''virus definitions'' of all the viruses that have been identified and your program searches for them. If you never download anything or use the net you dont really need it.. a majority of people do. Its a safe bet compared to aving to reinstalled your OS cause your PC crashed
Norton is GARBAGE!!!!! Mainly because its a memory and CPU hog...... However, it does its job better then 90% of the anti-virus products out there today......



But since u have spybot, which is great for spyware, and Destroy( im not sure what that is) u should be great. Just also make sure u have McAfee Site Advisor. Its a free little tool that will help u so much when surfing the net. TRY IT!!!!!

  • What is error 600?Yahoo Anti-virus wont install!?

    Anti-Virus could not be installed!



    There was a problem verifying Anti-Virus. Error 600. Try to install Anti-Virus at a later time. You can continue with other software selections



    What is error 600?Yahoo Anti-virus wont install!?aurora



    Error 600 means: an operation is pending.



    This is probably due to a hung program running in the background. Use CTRL+ALT+DEL to get the task manager, if there is anything listed with ''not responding'' end task it. If that doesn't help, shut down everything that you don't need. And if that doesn't help either, try restarting the computer.

    Free anti virus???

    anyone know of a good anti virus removal tool that is free?

    How can i update my anti virus program without the help of the internet?

    How can i update my anti virus program without the help of the internet?best antivirus software



    Dear don't get in confusion. The tricks above are not safe because even if you don't use internet than also you need a anti virus program that protects your computer from the unwanted viruses, trojans and malware came along with other data, music, video, software or e-books from any other infected computer. So Use a free antivirus like Avast or AVG free antivirus. You can even get the updates of these softwares in .zip and .exe files You can search for these update files in google but if you don't like to search in google than goto http://www.softpedia.com and there you search for your antivirus update. there you will find that definitely. Download it and run it in your PC. your antivirus program will be updated. Or whenever you want updates pls send me a e-mail along with name of antivirus you use. i will send you the link from which you can directly download the updates

    Are anti virus programs really necessary?

    I have tried several different anti virus programs. They seem to slow down the computer, cause conflicts with software. And in the end do not protect. I was running a major one and then checked with an online scanner and my computer was still infected. I am sure that there are virus programs that will destroy hard drives and raise havoc. Can't we protect the computer from the real bad stuff without having to load these huge and ineffective anti virus programs. Or should I just forget about it and switch to Linux. Help!



    Are anti virus programs really necessary?bmw



    The antivirus program that you should use is Avast. This program doesn't slow down your system. Some virus comes form everyday things like check the news on CNN.com or checking emails. So we do need it.



    Are anti virus programs really necessary?free adware remover



    I use avgfree from downloads.com. its very effective. and a lot of your on-line scanners are advertisement that will tell you you are infected just to get you to buy their product.
    A journalist for the Guardian wrote this article about how he had no antivirus software for three years and was just sensible in avoiding dodgy websites and emails.
    The major players like Norton, Mcafee etc are pretty useless and resource hogging.

  • Why no firmware installed in every hard disk as anti-virus ?

    In my opinion every hard disk manufacturer should think the possibility of installing some good anti-virus firmware to eleminate the viruses when using this HDD. We can updated this software by visiting the manufacturer's site. Why no one thinks over this idea ?



    Why no firmware installed in every hard disk as anti-virus ?computer protection



    But how do you tell a virus from a legitimate program? And how do you update it easily and automatically?



    And how would it know which operating system is installed on it, and what type of CPU? Mac virus won't work on Windows, Windows virus won't work on Linux, and so on. And this won't stop Word worms and such.



    Why no firmware installed in every hard disk as anti-virus ?free antivirus download



    how old is your computer? modern computers do have HDD anti virus protection did you not know? they protect the boot sector from viruses



    The hard drive just holds the virus data most viruses cause problems in windows programs, not the hard drives,
    well.... if ur planning 2 spend thousands on a HDD why not?
    Because the only way a virus software can tell that a virus is a virus, is if it has the definitions for that virus. Think of it as kind of a mugshot of the virus. If the virus has not been caught before(detected, decoded and had an effective removal process created for it), the antivirus will not know its a virus.



    The reason why that is an issue, is that the firmware of the drive controls the basics of how it operates, constantly updating the firmware brings possiblities of the firmware being corrupted by say a power surge mid-update.



    Not only that, but it would require a decent amount of flash memory on the drive to contain the software and definitions. Though I guess flash memory is cheap enough and small enough to justify it.
