I ditched Free Panda Cloud Antivirus early last week for Avira Free. My computer is noticeably more responsive now.

I'm using it on a Win 7 LT and nothing is showing in the Quarantined files. I rebooted today, am I safe?

The thing Panda had happen is same reason I dropped Avast.

I agree with using Avira. I use the paid 3 PC licence of Avira Pro, so far its great and light on resources.

If you want a full suite, then ESET Internet Security is the best. For a regular paid antivirus either Avira or Nod32 is my top choices.

I wouldn't say "best" its ok, mediocre at best, there's plenty of AV tests out there that show just that and other AV's that shine better in many categories.

Which "Free" are better than Avira?...... I tried them all. Issues or slowness switched me to Avira Free. I was an ESET NOD32 subscription member for four prior years.

You need to try Avira and compare yourself. The only piece of Avira Free I omitted was the Avira Safe Search option. I prefer Google search. Plus I get my Malware/Spyware fix from places like Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware and Spybot.

For free antivirus-only, there's no better than Avira right now. Next year may be someone else, but for now, it's Avira.

Thanks, nothing is Quarantined so I thought I was GTG. Nice to know for sure though.

Actually PANADA Free is a very good AV and if I wasn't using BD paid this would be my choice,one should not be worried to use it after this issue.

I just dumped Panda Free two weeks ago (latest Cloud version), after it slowed my computer.

I don't have it family does I think its light IMO.

I saw this mess bring an entire small business down, all their PCs and their server. They are still struggling to get the server working again, inspite of Panda's 'fix' release.

if they rebooted the PC's when it first happend yea any files in quarantine would have been lost. Not good
