Hopefully PAP 2015 will resolve that exceptions issue. Free is free and this one is a really good Raptor: I hope this answers your "what's the diff" question. Of course, none of this is meant to besmirch Free's stellar street cred. Even PC Magazine's Rubenking fell victim, "I have to applaud Panda for putting its full-scale protection into the entry-level free product." He even adds "2015" to the name. Judging by review and blog sites, many have been deluded into thinking Free has XMT - a testament to Panda's marketing in that one has to piece together several sources to debunk that fallacy. "Panda Global Protection 2015, Panda Internet Security 2015, Panda Antivirus Pro 2015, Panda Mobile Security 2.0 and Panda Gold Protection are the five products included in the security company’s 2015 consumer line which this year boasts the new XMT Smart Engineering engine as its main new feature." In reading between the lines, my take is: "What can you expect from the best FREE antivirus?" is not as much as "XMT.the whole set of new technologies that drive the new engine in Panda’s products."Ĭlearly (but not too clearly), Free/Cloud and Pro/Cloud do not have XMT. Why the no-cost upgrade if Pro/Cloud has XMT? Because it doesn't. Why isn't Free/Cloud specifically included in the list of the other products instead of just "joining" the lineup if Free has XMT? Because it doesn't. "XMT, a new detection engine included in all Panda’s consumer antivirus solutions." Product users will be automatically upgraded to the new version."Įven more interesting, Panda is distancing itself from Free. Enhanced performance to keep your system fast and optimized. Complete web protection for safe online shopping and banking. Advanced detection system for preventing novel ransomware and zero-day exploits. " Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro Edition will be replaced by Panda Antivirus Pro 2015. Welcome to best-in-class malware protection. Remember on the main GUI you can actually click the EDIT button and remove the useless items you don't needĪll Panda did was replace "Cloud" with "Free" in the product name and shift the USB component from Pro to Free. I ran Shark 007 Advanced Codeck Pack, the codec pack itself i good but it comes bundled with lots of crapware so when I launched the setup, Panda asked me that its an unknown application do I want to allow it (behavioral detection), so I said yes, then as I clicked the next button, Panda popped up again and told me some other EXE are trying to run which was obvious it was the ad-ware/junkware, so I clicked NO and the app installed fine but neutralized the PUP installationĪlso check the option on what to do with detected files, delete on the spot or notify, I chose notify Click to expand.Note, by default, it does not alert you for every fishy app it detects, so I turned on App Monitoring and now when I run an unknown app, it asks me to allow it or not, sort of like UAC but without the large popup and dimming screen, it actually makes you think twice and what's cool is check this.
