Yes, but it's not everyone's desire to use a customized Windows XP installation. I personally prefer using Windows XP Pro SP3 untouched without anything integrated in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I would've preferred using an untouched installation, but in my case for whatever reason .NET just wouldn't play nice🤷♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already deleted the crap PANDA DOME. the user interface looks terrible to my eyes with sliding hidden menus and awuful visual style, this is one out of many reasons why I hate the modern Windows editions. it's slower overall whether scanning files or launching the program than is AVAST I have a folder on the desktop with 8 malicious files (they are not false positives) all them flagged by AVAST but this PANDA DOME did only spot 1 out of 8 more, I have another folder with a virus and this PANDA DOME showed it was moved into the virus chest which is not true. more, if you restore a file from the virus chest PANDA DOME will not flag it over again because it will be seen as a clean file which is not true more, I restarted the computer and to my surprise the virus chest got wiped out for no apparent reason. more, the report log displays ''unknown name'' so it's not even able to tell the name of the suspicious detected trojans. the only plus side of PANDA DOME is that it allows you to fully disable it to prevent any service from loading on startup, this is not possible with AVAST long story short short I don't recommend the crap PANDA DOME to anyone a recent review claimed BIT DEFENDER to be the best scoring AV and AVAST in second place but it doesn't support XP anymore unfortunately 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkinis Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I also removed this one the decision took me 1 minute. https://www.escanav.com/en/mwav-tools/download-free-antivirus-toolkit.asp any program without clear type fonts is an insult for me.

The screenshots that I post (which show XP), are from XP in a virtual machine, as I don't use XP as my main system anymore.

AstroSkipper Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) None of these negative statements here about Panda Dome can be confiirmed by me, and such kind of presenting "facts" are rather meaningless. Panda Dome has been tested many times in the past and the protection found to be good. In any case, I trust such tests much more than any "data" presented here in a highly dubious manner. Here are some links to form your own opinion: https://www.av-comparatives.org/vendors/panda/ https://www.lifewire.com/panda-free-antivirus-review-1356582 And here are the last tests of Panda by av-test.org: https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/manufacturer/panda-security/ And one thing In general. A program is only as good as it is installed, configured and operated. And logically, that also depends massively on the user.
