0

Here is another chance for you to grab Panda Internet Security 2012 – FREE 3 months trial. The software was released back in June 2011 and is currently used by millions of PC users. I’ve tested Panda Internet Security 2012 on my PC and have covered my experience from the installation process until it’s up and running protecting my PC.

Installation

As far as my PC is concerned, the installation is halted after a few seconds because I have Norton 360 5.0 installed. So if you plan to use Panda Internet Security 2012, make sure you uninstall any other existing security suites. When you double click the installer, it will extract itself, preparing all files needed for the installation. Before the installation process initiates, it will ask you if you want to custom the installation (i.e. specify folder where to be installed etc). Alternatively you can choose an automatic installation for speedy process. The installation should only take less than 2 minutes. After the installation is completed, you are required to restart your computer. After your computer is rebooted, it will automatically update the virus definition (about 16 MB).

AV-Comparatives tests

Panda has second-to-none removal and detection reputation. This is proven from a series of AV-Comparatives tests with the results are way above the industry average. In term of performance, AV-Comparatives rates Panda Internet Security 2012 as “very fast” in the tests conducted in July 2011. The cloud-based technology used by this software ensures PC users are always protected by the latest virus definition. The cloud technology alone is not sufficient to ensure the best protection on your computer – it works best when it is accompanied by heuristic and behavior analysis. The heuristic and behavior analysis is capable of detecting unknown threats by analyzing files or webpages that act suspiciously.

Panda Internet Security 2012 is equipped with a tool that can easily remove infected files devices that are connected externally such as pendrive. Besides, it can also detect potentially malicious threats that try to migrate from within your network.

Panda Safe Browser

Panda Safe Browser is a useful feature exists on this software. It is a virtual machine and is completely isolated from your PC. With the presence of this feature, buying through online purchases can be safer because you sensitive data will be protected when they are transmitted. What I notice from my brief observation is this feature will cause your PC to run slightly slow (bear in mind, it is a virtual machine). That being said, it’s a great trade-off to your security.

Parental control tool

Parental control tool allows you to create profiles for 4 different segments of people; kids, employees, teens or your own customization. From this panel, you can manage the allow & block lists for each profile. This tool is not only built to block your kids from doing things they are not supposed to do but it can also report back to you what kind of activities they have attempted to do.
