 constant delays executing commands June 24, 2008

With Panda ON, each new web-page 'freezes' for the 1st 10-15 sec; or with typed entries [say, in the Google Box] only the 1st few letters appear, with some of the rest showing up after 15 sec. As I must "skip around" quite a bit, this is driving me up the wall.
I re-boot, immediately turning Panda OFF, and everything works fine [though of course I'm then open to every hacker out there.]
I thought switching to Firefox might help, but the problem continues. My PC does have an early AMD Dual-Core chip but, running XP, is otherwise rather standard
NB: [2 weeks later] Panda's E-Mail Tech Support's apparently a facade that sends out a few 'check-list' answers and then just ignores your follow-ups - this is outrageous, especially as I was consistently understanding & polite toward the hapless employee involved.
They directed I edit Explorer's controls after I reported I use Firefox, blamed the problem on the Spybot I'd told them I added 3 months after the problem began, etc, etc; in other words, they don't even read the mail that they dp deign to answer.
I'll give them this, they did put me on to a special McAfee Clean-Up program, but only after I queried them if that UnInstalled Security Suite might still be causing problems [the 'Clean-Up' didn't help].
So, they've taken my money for software they won't help fix and refuse to answer E-Mails to several addresses. And we're supposed to trust these folks with SECURITY SOFTWARE that can give them unprotected access to the very heart of our PCs? Would you trust a GreenGrocer you see spitting into his fruit display?

Download & install = 30 minutes. Scan computer = 2 hours. Uninstall = 10 minutes. Figuring out how to restore Outlook Express email folders = 2 hours. Total time lost = 4 hours 40 minutes.

Easy to install seems to work fine, I replaced a CA product on my laptop. I will probably replace McAfee on my desktop when the license for that one expires.
Couldn't Get it to Install April 16, 2008

I can't say whether this program will work for you. It didn't for me. And apparently others, as well.
First, the autoplay function refused to initiate installation. After numerous attempts, I was able (barely) to get it to begin the installation process. Next, the program refused to install, claiming that I had another anti-virus program (PC-Cillin) installed. I have never used that program, and have only used Norton and V-Com's anti-virus programs in the 7 years I have owned my computer. I am very computer literate, so I removed every remnant of the Norton program from my system (using not only the uninstall routine from the Control Panel, but the Norton Removal Tool furnished at their website). I then went through the registry and removed every reference to Norton and Symantec (the program publisher).
Still no luck installing the Panda program. Still received the error message referring to "PC-Cillin." Believing that V-Com's (now Avanquest's) SystemSuite 7 (or one of its earlier iterations formerly installed on my computer) could be the culprit, I uninstalled that program, and carefully removed any reference I could find in the registry. Hours later, I once again attempted to install Panda. Same problem getting the installation routine to work -- and once working, I still received the same error message pertaining to "PC-Cillin." Incidentally, I could find no reference in the registry to PC-Cillin or Trend Micro (the publisher).
Went to Panda's online support pages. Could not get the FAQ pages to load. No telephone support is provided. Finally utilized the email support. I received no reply for 48 hours. And when I did receive it, it was entirely unhelpful.
Finally, I gave up. I installed Norton's Internet Security 2008, a memory hog, but at least it works.
