I have been running the trial version of Panda for three
weeks now and it works great! It seems to automatically
update its virus definitions more frequently than Norton.
Also, the Platinum version includes a great firewall.
I think you'll be pleased with it!

P.S. It nailed a virus file someone posted in this newsgroup yesterday.

| Hello Carey,
| 
| I have luckily found a 60 day guarantee on the Symantec 
| website.  I think I'm goint to print it and mail them 
| their CD and get my money back!
| 
| I would just like to know how well Panda detects viruses.  
| I have read on a few sites that it misses a few!?!  I have 
| also found good reviews of the product...so I have some 
| mixed feelings about it.  What do you think?  I also think 
| that McAfee might not be much better.  I havn't read 
| anything good about it so far.  So, Panda might be my last 
| option...I'll also give the demo a try.
| 
| Thanks in advance
