12/29/2023 0 Comments Panda antivirus reviews 2016![]() I follow four testing labs around the world, closely tracking their reports on the effectiveness of antivirus utilities. I'll keep my summary here to a minimum for more details, please read the earlier review. Panda Dome Advanced includes all the same features as Panda Dome Essential, naturally. That’s good, but a $139.99 McAfee+ subscription includes McAfee protection on ChromeOS and iOS devices, which is beyond the Android, macOS, and Windows coverage you get with Panda. That’s a bit more than the $109.99 you pay for Norton 360 Deluxe, but then, that Norton subscription only covers five devices.īut why stop at 10? For $135.99, you can install Panda protection on as many Windows, macOS, or Android devices as you like. For $117.99 per year, you can install Panda on 10 devices. When you start doing that, you’re likely to want an even bigger subscription. You do have the option to use your Panda licenses for protecting macOS and Android devices. For another $10, you can get five Panda licenses, and that $85.99 price is in the expected range. Bitdefender costs more, $84.99 at the three-license level, leaving Panda’s $75.99 price for three licenses in the middle. ![]() Webroot Internet Security Plus starts (and ends) its pricing lineup with a three-license yearly subscription for $59.99. Bitdefender’s entry-level suite goes for $59.99, for example, and Avira’s for $57.99. ![]() ![]() Its starting price of $56.99 per year for a single license is in the normal range. This suite is the entry-level security suite in Panda's somewhat unusual lineup. Panda Dome Advanced sacrifices a little symmetry to make room for Anti-Ransomware and Parental Control. The 15 icons in Panda Dome Essential lined up nicely in three rows of five. A handy button at the bottom right puts all the labels in view at once. If the simple images don't immediately bring an icon's function to mind, just point at it to see its label. Scrolling down reveals another dozen, for a total of 17. When you open the program, you see five icons arrayed along the bottom of the screen. Combined with the minimalist icons that represent security features, it’s a pretty and relaxing look. You can choose among eight backgrounds or set it to change automatically from time to time. Instead of the usual white or gray background marked off by buttons and panels, all Panda programs use an inspiring nature scene as a background. Panda’s security programs stand out from their competition. This review focuses on the Windows edition, as the other two platforms don’t gain any new features beyond what you get in Panda Dome Essential. If you’ve already activated your subscription, you can just log into the account and download the appropriate installer for your device running Windows, macOS, or Android. When you install Panda Dome Advanced, you’ll create or log into your online Panda account. In the realm of entry-level security suites, our Editors’ Choice winner is Bitdefender Internet Security, with perfect scores from the antivirus labs and a wealth of effective security features. However, it scored poorly in tests for protection against malware and phishing. It fits the suite category more closely than the lower-tier Panda Dome Essential, adding parental control and enhanced ransomware protection. Panda Dome Advanced gives you antivirus, firewall, VPN, and more. Not every security suite uses the words “security” or “suite” in its name. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.
