The only way to check a specific item is to manually open the app, choose the Custom scan and select a folder manually. Panda Free Antivirus doesn't integrate with Explorer, so right clicking a file or folder doesn't get you a 'Scan with Panda' option.

These start with a Critical Areas, Full System or Custom scan, but you can also exclude particular folders or file types (handy for speeding up scans.) If that's not enough, you can also set multiple scheduled scans.

A Critical Area scan checks the most commonly infected areas of a PC in around five minutes the Custom scan only inspects the files or folders you specify and the Full System scan, of course, checks everything. Panda Free Antivirus has several scanning options. Kaspersky and Trend Micro go further, recognizing the attacks as malicious actions and killing our testing tool immediately, preventing it trying anything else. 90% and more simply block our attacks, ensuring they have no effect. While it's true this attack may not succeed very often, the reality is most of the antivirus competition does a far better job of protecting itself.

The company said these security flaws: 'could only be exploited by malware that has escalated admin rights and has not been detected by any of our technologies (signatures, Cloud, heuristics, contextual routines, behavioral protection,…).' Panda also said it had 'taken note' of our suggestion for a fix, though didn't commit to applying it.

A common example might be via a spam email, with text which persuaded you to open an attached Office document, and then run an embedded macro. These exploits required an attacker persuading you to run a malicious script or macro on your system, with Administrator rights. The second effectively removed all Panda's protective layers, enabling malware to do whatever it liked.

One attack successfully disabled part of Panda's real-time file scanning system, allowing us to download malicious files without detection. Testing Panda's self-protection revealed a couple of vulnerabilities. Malware sometimes attempts to disable an antivirus before launching a full infection attempt, so it's important any security app can defend itself. (Image credit: Panda Security) Self-protection It's not perfect - too many buttons just open a browser tab, rather than do anything locally - but we found it reasonably easy to use.

Functions are grouped into ten buttons (Scan, VPN, Support and so on) hovering your mouse cursor over a button displays a caption, reminding you what it does clicking a button takes you to that area, where a Back button returns you to the main dashboard when you're done. (We checked Panda's Support site to find out what 'Show Panda News' was supposed to do, but couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. We found a 'Show Panda News' switch in Settings, and turned off, hoping this would help but no, it didn't make any difference at all. There's another small annoyance in a regularly updated banner at the bottom of the dashboard, with links to various blog posts on the Panda site. You must scroll down to access everything. The app has two rows of buttons for various functions, but Panda leaves so much free space to the photo, that the second row of buttons is out of view. This looks good, but creates an immediate usability issue. Panda's interface stands out immediately for its desktop-style wallpaper background.
