Panda Global Protection 2012 is one of the most all encompassing security packages available at the moment. They started using Cloud technology late 2009, whereas a lot of their rivals have only just started looking skywards with their protection services, so you know they’ve got it down.

A virtual keyboard is also made available so you need have no fear of keyloggers finding out your passwords. For added security you’ll also be able to encrypt files, or shred them removing data for good.

One of our favourite features has got to be remote access, there’s nothing worse than working at home and forgetting to email your work on or leaving your USB at home. With remote access you’ll be able to get to your files from home at the office, or vice versa.

Other invaluable tools Panda Global Protection 2012 include PC Optimisation which will help things run smoothly and if you need to share your computer then Panda USB vaccine will protect your ports from infection when plugging in foreign devices. Finally the TruPrevent Technology has a nifty feature to inform you if your WiFi is being intruded upon.

What we like least

We don’t actually have much to complain about here, which is rare. Everything from user interface to detection rate was up to scratch as far as we’re concerned. We’re so used to invasive security packages that it was a little perplexing how quietly it runs on your system with minimal pop ups telling you what’s done as if expecting a pat on the head.
