Fortunately, we could dismiss that form with a tap of the 'Not Now' button. Our guess is it'll return, though, occasionally. And even if it doesn't, the fact Panda asks users for that much data makes a poor impression with us. Panda's interface stands out immediately for its desktop-style wallpaper background. This looks good, but creates an immediate usability issue.
The app has two rows of buttons for various functions, but Panda leaves so much free space to the photo, that the second row of buttons is out of view. You must scroll down to access everything.
There's another small annoyance in a regularly updated banner at the bottom of the dashboard, with links to various blog posts on the Panda site. We found a 'Show Panda News' switch in Settings, and turned off, hoping this would help; but no, it didn't make any difference at all. We checked Panda's Support site to find out what 'Show Panda News' was supposed to do, but couldn't find it mentioned anywhere.
Not an encouraging start. The main interface works well, at least. Functions are grouped into ten buttons Scan, VPN, Support and so on ; hovering your mouse cursor over a button displays a caption, reminding you what it does; clicking a button takes you to that area, where a Back button returns you to the main dashboard when you're done.
It's not perfect - too many buttons just open a browser tab, rather than do anything locally - but we found it reasonably easy to use. Malware sometimes attempts to disable an antivirus before launching a full infection attempt, so it's important any security app can defend itself. Testing Panda's self-protection revealed a couple of vulnerabilities.
One attack successfully disabled part of Panda's real-time file scanning system, allowing us to download malicious files without detection. The second effectively removed all Panda's protective layers, enabling malware to do whatever it liked.
These exploits required an attacker persuading you to run a malicious script or macro on your system, with Administrator rights. A common example might be via a spam email, with text which persuaded you to open an attached Office document, and then run an embedded macro.
We reported our findings to Panda. The company said these security flaws: 'could only be exploited by malware that has escalated admin rights and has not been detected by any of our technologies signatures, Cloud, heuristics, contextual routines, behavioral protection,…. While it's true this attack may not succeed very often, the reality is most of the antivirus competition does a far better job of protecting itself.
