about panda antivirus?

hi, anyone can help me with more info about Panda? I have been working with free AVG on my laptop, and, considering my laptop is not too fast, I have been afraid of using Panda, because i used it once on my PC and it became really slow... now, besides the advantage that AVG is free, can you tell me if it's reliable enough if I am conected to the Internet all day, or, should I change to Panda instead? Thanks! plus, I have noticed that my laptop became slower than it was, so I am thinking maybe is because of some virus?

Active Virus Shield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world. In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, Active Virus Shield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test. Full test chart is here: http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/default.asp?id=82&mnu=82 Active Virus Shield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources. (6mb ram) Active Virus Shield detects and removes spyware, also. And it updates up to 15 times a DAY with new virus definitions, 7 days a week! Good stuff, free for everyone from: http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp?
  2. Norton antivirus removes all kinds of viruses and spywares. For me it's sure well worth the price..
  3. i think panda is one of the best out there but avg free is reliable. i think your okay as long as you arent downloading pornography. Norton is a horrible program for the record that guy is an idiot.
