Throwing my hat in the ring.

I still run (oh my gosh) Win XP Pro on several PCs.

On XP:
Avast was too annoying. A year ago, so now ????
Panda was also rather annoying although highly rated.


How is Panda annoying? I install it on friends and family computers
that want something that will not nag them.


I know this is a Win7 group but having just installed the free version
of Panda (2016) on my XP Pro I have yet to see the same annoying
behaviour as OldGuy.

As yet, no excessive CPU usage and no nag pop ups to buy the pro
version.

During installation I unticked/unchecked "install Toolbar etc".

I haven't entered my email address to "manage your services etc.." and
just click on "Select account later".

Possibly this stops the nagging pop ups?

If so, I can live with one-click when I open the interface.
