I think that needs more information, in order to be complete.User:Atenea26, 15:15, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
the fact that panda sends spam isn't proved, but not occurs the same with fact that people complaint about panda sending spam. I think that it is clear. So, please don't start a edit war --User:Atenea26 10:00, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
The spam was as real as it gets. If you follow ref#4 in the spam section, and read the updates to the original article you'll find Panda's Product Manager acknowledging the fact, apologizing yet being powerless to stop the spam.
I'm concerned that the "Panda software and scientology" section has absolutely no citations. This is a pretty serious accusation to be leveling at it, and I would think something credible to back it up would be needed. --ZantTrang 20:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I used to work there. They ran the company according to the Hubbard Managment System, which was part of WISE. It's a moot point now, though, since the new investors and board have ended this practice. 68.183.216.98 19:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the following paragraph: "As of July, 2008 reports have surfaced claiming that Panda has reorganized and removed itself from WISE." How weird was this - "As of July, 2008"?! AussieHero 14:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Can we agree that this scientology business does not belong in a company profile but rather in the founder's page? FranklinCovey, for example has no section on Mormonism, Ben & Jerry's has no section "Ben & Jerry's and Judaism", etc. As such, I am deleting this irrelevant section.

I am adding a rewritten Criticism section to help bring some balance to this article and work toward removing the disconcerting but accurate ((advertisement)) tag. Am placing the section towards the top so it doesn't get lost among the lists of available products. --CliffC 18:00, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
The criticism section seems to be using weasel words, claiming "many" reports of spam abuse and citing 4 sources (including two that refer to each other), I have tagged it as such. Google searches for "Panda Software" and "Spammer" turn up the same 4 sources. I searched google on "spam from panda" per the editor's suggestion and turned up replicated permutations of "Panda software the worst spammer" and a total of 12 results. This spammer accusation seems to be in bad faith.Pozole 01:36, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
My criticism is that I have their software. I got a virus. The software said the virus was removed, but my computer became disabled anyway. I went on another computer and e-mailed them asking for urgent help, as this is my home office computer and I got no response whatsoever. This is after 3 or 4 years as a Panda customer. I went on their user forums and found that at least one other person had also been completely unable to contact them for support. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skysong263 (talk • contribs) 21:09, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
My criticism is that bulletin pop-ups cannot be disabled. It is unacceptable in some situations.

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

I think that this article should be merged into Panda Security. It's not notable enough to have its own article, but should exist as part of this one. Tnxman307 (talk) 20:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
In the lead (intro) section: "Panda Security spots market opportunity with cloud"...What is cloud exactly? Is that referring to the free version of Panda Security called "Panda Cloud Anti-virus?" I just don't understand what "cloud" means exactly in the context of the sentence that I quoted. Could this be clarified or written for the layperson, or wikilinked, if there is an article for the term "cloud" that fits the context? Thanks, 24.10.181.254 (talk) 14:49, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
External Technologies, with which Panda was involved in a law-suit, does not have an article. I tried to look it up on the Internet and had difficulty finding it. It seemed to be defunct. Finally I found an article from GDS Transnational entitled " Partner Case Study - External Technologies, Inc." There is a photo in the article of a Teresa Hartsfield. On a website listing of External Technologies by Manta it mentioned a Brent Hartsfield as the "principal". So what's going on with them and why are they being so secretive? Are they trying to dissociate themselves from the lawsuit in which they lost? Mike Hayes (talk) 20:55, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
