ok my nans pc went in to be repaired by a man my dad knows. he got onto the computer an has now gone and told my dad that panda antivirus softwear will completely how can i put this f*** our computer up and has told my dad that wot we had b4 was better (AVG FREE VERSION) so now im having big rows with my mum and dad over it.

right wot the man basicly told my dad was that panda will delete some of windows files so the computer crash's as it was the panda softwear that did it to my nans computer.

i have tryed to tell him and show him that pro's an i have even seen big computer companys using panda and that some pro's have gave it good reviews in magazines.

so now hes telling me that im wrong an there all wrong an that there proberbly some 13 yr old kids that r saying this.

pls just do me a few points if any of this is true let me kno if ot post an tell me (and him) y its a good 1 to use as he wont belive me an hes just going with wot his m8 has told him

ty in advanced

Probably just me, but when i installed Panda on my laptop, i got BSOD's, uninstalled it, and it was all fine again.

I prefer Kaspersky over Panda.

Panda is good i think, but i had to stop using it because it was a legal version and i couldnt input user or pass to get updates :(

But tbh, Nod32 beats everything as an AV, then just use windows firewall and you are sorted.
