My reply is mixed with your words ,but first you are probably on a dial-up
->very slow conncetion and you'll have problems no matter which antivirus
software you install because of the slow updates.
I advise you change to DSL/Cable broadband connection .

As I'm typing this I am downloading the free version of Panda Software's
Titanium version. The dialog box says it will take a whopping 2 1/2
hours to download. Actually, in the time I've taken to look for the
answers to my questions on these sites, 48% of the download has
completed, so it may not take that long. My main question is: 1) If I
choose to buy the paid version, will it then take me that long again to
download it? I hope not. I'm hoping buying it will just update what I've
already downloaded and installed. Does anyone know?
I have other questions:
2) If I buy the paid version, why is it certain costs for only 1 year,
three years, etc? I thought I paid ONE fee and that's it, like any
software. Is all anti-virus software like that now? (I think Norton
is.) If so, why? I just want to pay some fee, whether it's $50.00 or
$100.00 or whatever, download and install the software, and.....THAT'S
IT! I've paid the fee and I now have the software FOREVER!!! I've
bought it! Why do I have to pay more money later, like I'm paying rent
or something?
Panda_man : No ,you pay money to have one,two or more years licence
whichgives you not the program but the updates and the services such as daily
updates , free tech support ,sending files for analyze and so on.I advise you
to buy the software only for 1 year because if you buy for more you'll still
use old version.
When you buy Panda , Panda Software will give you a CD which you install the
program from.
3) I have the free AVG version but apparently when it scans and puts
the viruses, trojans, adware, and spyware into the Virus Vault and I
clear the Virus Vault all of it is still in my computer, according to a
computer guy I had come in to install a video capture device. He advised
me to take the free Panda Software Active Scan. I did, thinking it would
be like the AVG scan except it would really get rid of the viruses, etc.
Instead, after an hour of waiting, all the Panda Active Scan did was
tell me what viruses I have and give me an option to purchase software
to get rid of it! What a rip-off!! And I can't find anywhere on the
internet that TELLS people that. So I wasted an hour of my life. Why
don't they tell people that all they are doing is scanning your
computer for viruses, not getting rid of viruses? So that's crap, but
it seems their actual software that does the job is effective and
efficient. I just don't want to waste a lot of time, which brings me
back to question 1).
Panda_man : All online scanners only check your computer ,they just are
unable to remove malware because most malware is active ,you need antivirus .
By the way ,I have been using Panda for two years and little bit more and
you'll see why it is so good.More info here:
