What is the group opinion of Panda products. I can get a 2005 version
for a small sum and am looking rather seriously at changing from Norton.

TIA
 
Go for it !

Hi David,

I've never been much of a fan of NAV, and from what I remember of
Panda during my "testing frenzy" a few years ago, it didn't entirely
displease me, though there were minor issues I had to deal with.
Hopefully, it's even better now (it did seem a bit cumbersome for me
at the time). One thing I did appreciate about Panda was their
tech/customer support. I remember very friendly and helpful people.
On the other hand, I've had absolutely no need for technical/customer
support from Eset because NOD32 has always "just worked" for me. :-)

Hi Peter,

is there any need PGP-signing all your postings? Which?

It's a fair question to ask, and I'm not *entirely* convinced that my
reasons are unquestionably sound, but I do still feel I have my
reasons. I could tell you all about them in detail, but that could
take a while as well, so for the moment I'll just say that it has to
do with some very malicious identity spoofing I was the victim of
some time ago.

I do sincerely apologize if the few extra lines of text surrounding
my messages are irritating to you or others, but I hope it's not
*too* annoying.

I can see PGP signatures for authenticating commercial correspondence or
where proprietary information is shared, but in a NG arena, it seems
almost....well, pretentious. That's not meant to be a slag, just an
observation.

unfortunately, the signatures do not prove that those messages posted
by someone else were not posted by you, they only prove that the
messages you've signed were posted by you...

further, nothing stops a malicious identity thief from signing the
spoofed messages... the only way to tell that they aren't signed with
your key is to actually fire up pgp and check - and almost nobody ever
bothers to do so... nor should they, since all it would really prove is
that the malicious messages were signed with a different key, not that
they were signed by a different person...

pgp clear-signing doesn't protect your identity the way you think it
does...

It trashed my computer. I had to restore from my backup to get it to work
again. I am running Kapersky right now. Your question has been asked many
times and I am not the only one that had major problems. There doesn't seem
to be any middle ground. Love it or hate it.

I hate Norton BTW.
