"I have been installing Panda on my clients' systems for the last five years and in that time not one single client has ever been hit with downtime in their businesses. Panda doesn't let any viruses get through," said Peter Vescovo, CEO of Pyramid Technology Service Group, a consulting firm based in New York which does network installation and maintenance for businesses and government groups up to 75 seats. "As soon as I load Panda on to the system of a new client, I tell them it is going to detect viruses and adware even though they have another top anti-virus program currently running. Panda always finds infections their other program missed."
Panda Software's retail products Panda Antivirus 2007, Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2007, and Panda Internet Security 2007 were also nominated for the prize of best software "by the top 100-Level retailers and distributors who are the market leaders in consumer technology," confirms Pete Prentice, Senior Global Director for RetailVision.
