Panda — More Extras (and Flexible Pricing)

Pandadome antivirus software provides many features, a variety pricing options, as well as high-quality cybersecurity protections.

It boasts a fantastic malware scanner, which detected more than 95% percent of malware samples. Real-time protection was included, which captured 100% of all the malware files that I tested.

Panda dom’spackages can also be found:

• Protection for Web
• Performance optimization
• VPN (virtual personal network)
• Parental controls
• Password manager.
• Gaming mode

Panda comes with additional features that I haven’t seen on other antiviruses.

• Repair Kit — Removes malware from infected PCs using a USB stick.
• File encrypted Protects your files from hackers and thieves with high-level encryption.
• Safety – Test USB drives for malware.

Panda’s features tend be excellent. Some of them, like Rescue Kit and the Virus Scanner, are great. Panda’s web protection detected less than half the phishing sites I tested. The VPN doesn’t come with unlimited data, and the customer support is not excellent.

Panda isn’t better than its top competitors, however it’s an easy-to-use and affordable alternative for those looking for comprehensive internet security. All these packages come with a 30-day return policy.

Panda Dome Antivirus Full Review

Panda is a highly effective antivirus scanner that offers tons of features. It also has flexible pricing.

Panda performed well during almost all of the tests. Panda proved to be very intuitive and detected almost all of the malware it tested.

Panda offers five pricing plans, including the option to pay monthly (or yearly) This makes it simple to select the plan that is best for your needs and financial situation.

Panda Security Features

Antivirus Scanner

Panda is an excellent antivirus scanner. It was able detect more than 95% malware files while scanning.

Panda provides three scanning options:

• Important areas. Examines the state of your computer’s memory and current processes in order to identify viruses.
• Full scan. Scans the entire PC.
• You have the option to do a custom scan. Scans specific files and/or directories.

My PC scanner speed was inconsistent. One scan took almost three hours. Another scan took only 60%. The scan only covers the most critical areas on my computer.

Panda’s macOS malware scanner for Mac was ineffective. It took 6 hours to scan the entire Mac OS.

Panda offers more that regular scans. Panda Cloud Cleaner is an antivirus scanner that runs in the cloud and scans for advanced threats, as well other issues that traditional antiviruses may miss.

Panda Cloud Cleaner performed well. The cloud-based scan was significantly faster than regular antivirus scanning. But it’s not Avira. Panda Cloud Cleaner includes cloud-based scanning.

Rescue Kit

Panda’s Rescue Kit is a unique tool that allows users save infected machines. This involves creating a “rescue USB Stick” to boot the device then using the cloud scanner (to remove the malware)

I discovered that my brother was downloading malicious files to the gaming PC of his son while I was testing Panda. When he tried to use his computer, he could barely get it to boot.

Panda’s emergency kit was my rescue tool to get rid of these viruses from my brother’s computer.

It was extremely easy to set-up the Rescue Kit. It took just seconds to put the Rescue Kit on my USB drive.

Panda’s Rescue Kit makes Pandavirus stand out from all the rest.

File Encryption and File Shredder

Panda features 2 remarkable features that antiviruses do not often offer: file shredding (file shredding), and file encryption/file encryption (file encryption).

Panda’s file encryption tool is simple to use. All I had to do to encrypt the files was right-click them. Password Depot12> Encrypt was selected and I then chose an encryption passphrase.

There’s also

• Unencrypt the files and delete them.
• Self-extracting archives can be made so that people who don’t have Password Depot will be able to decrypt files.
• Store the file encryption password secretly in Password Depot password manager program.

File Shredder was able to completely delete all files from my computer. With File Shredder, all files were completely erased from my computer. I clicked on password depot 12 > Erase and then the popup appeared.

File encryption, and file shredding can be very helpful tools to keep your files safe and private.

Clean up your PC

Panda’s devices cleaning tools are not the most efficient on the marketplace, but they still work.

I had 4 options to choose from when I tried Panda’s PC Cleanup.

1. Make space on my hard drive.
2. boot Manager is a tool to help you create programs that are ready for launch right away.
3. Reorganize and Defragment Fragmented Hard Drives.
4. It is a good practice to perform a periodic system cleaning.

It wasn’t difficult to clean the hard disk

– In less than 60 seconds we were able locate more junk files than 1.2GB.

It was very easy to use the Boot Manager. We disabled most of the unnecessary programs and she was able to get her laptop up and running in less than 60 seconds.

The defragmenter helps improve a PC’s organization and speed. It also increases a computer’s overall performance. But, it didn’t show any performance improvement — my computer runs pretty fast.

Panda’s tools for cleaning your computer aren’t very innovative and they are part of many antivirus software packages like TotalAV and Avira. They do the job well and make your computer faster.

VPN (Virtual Private Network).

VPNs (virtual privacy network) are a critical tool to protect your internet connection. They protect your original IP address.

Hotspot Shield powers Panda VPN, one of today’s most popular VPN providers.

Panda VPN isn’t my favorite. My most expensive Panda plan comes with unlimited browsing data. Other plans only allow 150MB/day. This makes it impossible to select the server that you want, and you will not be able to connect to the nearest one. This will cause an obvious drop in internet speeds.

Panda’s VPN does NOT have the essential features you need, such as a Kill Switch. Panda’s VPN has no essential features like a Kill Switch.

Panda’s VPN didn’t perform well during my tests. I experienced extremely high ping times (the time it takes for me to get the server back).

Below is my average internet speed

I found it interesting that the VPN didn’t slow my upload speed. However, it would be absurd for a VPN server to slow my download speed when there are high ping times.

I was also testing VPN using a server I chose, since I was using the most expensive plan.

The URL to the VPN that’s closest to me is

Although my ping was high my download speed was not. This VPN is not nearly as fast as standalone VPNs ExpressVPN and ProtonVPN.

Panda’s VPN privacy statement clearly indicates that Panda does not log any information regarding IP addresses or browsing history. It is available both on its premium VPN and on the free VPN.

Panda VPN is an excellent VPN service. However, it does not perform exceptionally well. However, they performed better in tests.

Additional Features

Panda offers many additional features such:

• Password manager. This password management program includes a password generation tool that can automatically save or fill your passwords. It also checks the security and strength of your passwords.
• Antitheft tools. Android Users have access to lock/wipe functions.
• Protects your data from ransomware and restricts apps’ access to them.
• Parental controls. Basic website blocking options.
• Web security. Malicious linking detection and blocking.
• The virtual keyboard. Protects keystrokes with a pop-up window.
• Protection Utilities. Scan Flash USBs for Malware.

Panda provides some extra features that are very useful. You can remotely lock your smartphone or locate it with Wear OS watches. But it was extremely accurate when tested on my iPhone.

Panda’s password manager is also something I like. Panda’s password managers are also a great option.

Unfortunately, I was not able to use some of the extra features. However, the keys can be too small. It is very difficult to use these keys.

Panda needs to enhance its phishing protection. Panda detected less the 50% of malicious and fraudulent websites in my tests. Panda’s Safe Browsing managed to detect even the most obvious, such as fake Amazon login or PayPal login pages.

Pricing and Panda Dome plans

Panda is more expensive than many other brands.

These packages can be quite inexpensive, but I don’t think they have the essential features, like ransomware prevention, and live customer support, which are both things that other brands, such McAfee/Nova, offer in their packages.

Panda does offer substantial discounts after the first year. Panda provides a 30 day money back guarantee. This means that you can try any Panda package risk free for thirty days.
