Panda's Nano Scan

[Guest]

I came upon this AV Scanner this morning from Panda, there are
two different scanners , a nano scanner, and a total scanner
- and i just read a post over in Home Users security asking about it also.

This has been around for a few months - I remember trying the nanoscan
without problems, but the total scan was a real pain. I couldn't get it to
work properly, and it even proved frustratingly impossible to submit a
report explaining the problem because the message-submitting process didn't
work properly either. I kept trying over a period of several days, hoping
they'd fix it, before deciding that there was no point in using it anyway,
because I simply wouldn't have any faith in the outcome, whatever it was.

Hi Alan, This was the first time reading or seeing anything about this
scanner (out for months huh) and when i googled i only saw good reviews
for the total scanner and the nano. With most online scanners taking just
under an hour (for me) the fast scan caught my eye, how thorough is
another story.

Well, it must have been at least a couple of months ago that I tried it, and
it was VERY new then (there was some discussion of it in these parts at the
time), so of course I may just have been a victim of its early teething
troubles.

I also had problems with Panda's scan. Computers would lock up or the
program would depending on the mood.
