"Without downloading software" is misleading. You ARE downloading their software (ActiveX) to use it, you're just doing it through the browser instead of downloading it as a seperate package.

I don't know that there's any shennanigans going on here but they're already being misleading from the beginning so I don't trust them.

I didn't click the link because something about panda software is ringing a bell with me, but I can't remember what...

My first thought was of spyware. That might be unfair to them as I may have heard of them somewhere else, but that's what came to my mind.

A local company bought the Panda antivirus software and I had to install it on their machines last month. It seems legit, and it hasn't given them any trouble.

I know they were having some installation issues, but I forgot what trick I did to allow it to install.

Anyway, they're a legit antivirus company. I just don't have much experience with them.

Speak of the devil.

I had a call at that business today and they had me remove Panda from one of the machine because "it just didn't work."

Evidently they were getting errors. I couldn't uninstall it without getting errors. I reinstalled it from CD, and then I was able to uninstall it without any trouble. I think Panda just got corrupt, and advised them to reinstall it. I don't think they will.
