It was quite difficult to load from DVD to my Vista computer. It only partly registers on the computer and thus nags for repeat registerions. And it repeatly nags me to upgrade a file and when given permission it fails to properly upgrade the file and then requires the computer to cycle down. And afterwards the file is still not upgraded. And the request cycle repeats. I've never had a viruschecker this bad. Even Norton is better than Panda. I wonder if this company will send me my rebates on this package? Will it work for you? Maybe but my experience indicates you should try something else first. Trig

Excellent reputation, free [not 90 day trailware], no registration, no product key, works very well.

After the rebate at Costco it wold have been 15 dollars plus about 8 percent of 50 dollars. I am currently using the Vista firewall and have just replaced Panda with AVAST home edition which is free. Interestingly, I noodled around and had AVAST on along with Panda. An Avast warned me that Panda contained a worm!!! But Avast couldn't delete it due to the Vista control on file deletion. It took putting in the Panda DVD to get the program removed. It ask if I want to fix or remove the program. Thankfully that worked. I may load AVG at the drop of a hat given that I've used its free version on my old win98 system in recent times. Some have claimed that Onecare has a better Firewall than what is included in Vista OS?

Panda is a truly sad piece of software. Thanks for the confirmation that others share a view similar to mine on Panda.

Avast did gather some information such my name and etc plus they'll email product key ...I think. It still isn't in my email box. So who knows perhaps I'll be back on AVG.
