That's not great, but it's still better than Avast's 27 percent and Avira's 35 percent declines. When we ran a full-system scan with the OpenOffice benchmark running, the software took 8 minutes and 33 seconds to complete, a performance decline of 23 percent from the baseline. You can choose where to connect to but not the connection protocol used. The most useful extra feature provided by Panda Free Antivirus is the VPN client and service, which provides up to 150MB a day of secure communications. ( SE Labs in England, whose results we also use, has not tested Panda antivirus software recently.) Security and Privacy Features Panda also racked up 21 false positives over that period, far worse than the rest of the programs, except for, again, Windows Defender, which had a whopping 41. That dragged down Panda's six-month average to 98.9 percent, behind those of all the other free antivirus programs except Windows Defender, which averaged 98.4 percent. While Panda detected 100 percent of online malware in four of the six months from February to July 2018, it scored only 94.3 percent in May. It might be that Panda's detection rate has improved a lot since 2016, but recent results from Austrian lab AV-Comparatives indicate otherwise. Panda's ability to find and eradicate malware is a notch down from the best and can be notably inconsistent compared to some of the program's peers.
Panda didn't get any 100 percent scores in that category over those six months, with rates ranging from 99.5 percent (meh) to 99.8 percent (not terrible).
Panda's ability to stop widespread malware was not perfect either in 2016. Anything suspicious is uploaded to the company's online lab for analysis, and several times a day, Panda sends the signatures of confirmed malicious items back to the program's 30 million users. A heuristic monitor watches code and behavior. The program's scanner checks new files for signatures of known malware. Panda uses three levels of overlapping protection.
