Panda Antivirus For Netbooks Review
The popularity of netbooks and mini laptops has led Panda to create a special ultra-lightweight version of its antivirus for them. This version is very easy to install, extremely light on resource consumption and provides effective protection thanks to improved Collective Intelligence and Panda technologies. It also supports automatic scans at a fixed time every week without disrupting your normal activity and can be set to exclude specific files or folders.
In addition to standard antivirus features like real-time protection against viruses, spyware and Trojans, it includes advanced security features like automatic USB protection, a rescue kit for backups, daily VPN access and dark web monitoring (which isn't a feature usually included in free versions of antivirus software). It also offers dedicated protection for instant messaging applications to prevent the installation of keylogging software that can record your conversations.
Unlike traditional antivirus software that needs to download virus detection definition updates regularly, Panda uses its cloud technology and community driven database for faster and more accurate scanning. This keeps the application lightweight and doesn't interfere with your normal activities – a very important aspect for netbooks and low resource computers. This means you can browse the web, shop and bank online with confidence. You can even use your netbook to play games, watch movies and listen to music with total peace of mind. The software is also compatible with Windows Vista and XP and works well with most current browsers and social networks.
