ok I?ve used NAV for ever just because it has always worked fine for me, now I?m currently running NAV 2003, but I?m curious I know that the Panda AV is also very good and regarded well, seeing as I can download Panda Titanium 7 for free I?m wondering if its worth it

NAV has never given me any major issues tho it is kind of a resource hog, so my question is

How does Panda Titanium 7 compare to NAV 2003 in terms of speed, usability, catching virii and all that good stuff, and does it hog as much resources as NAV?

I just installed Panda on a work comp that I?m fixing because it was free but IDK if I wanna install it on my main home rig

Less resources than NAV. I've been using it for a week or so now and have a couple issues. It stalls Outlook 2K3 outgoing emails and I occasionally get webpages with broken graphics in them. Played the install/uninstall game and it's Panda Ti 2K4. Did some searching and it appears there are other folks having similar problems.

Ended up using BitDefender 7.2 Standard. Pretty happy with it so far.

FYI it's Panda Platinum you can download for free, not Titanium.

I like platinum better than I do the TI 2k4.

FYI Ti 04 has a better scanning engine than Platinum.
