Two modes: basic and advanced

pav6_uk00000003.gif Note: while Panda Antivirus 6.0 Platinum offers the possibility of working in either mode, Panda Antivirus 6.0 Home Edition only allows you to work in basic mode. For more information, we suggest you consult the section entitled Differences between versions.

To bring the operation of Panda Antivirus 6.0 Platinum closer to its users, we have given our antivirus two working modes: advanced and basic. The difference between the two is that, while guaranteeing the same levels of protection, the first allows you to configure all the scan options, whereas the second only lets you choose one of the predefined scans.

A button in the Panda Antivirus 6.0 Platinum standard button bar lets you easily change modes.

The following table details the differences between the two modes. The basic mode is recommended for less advanced users or users who have very concrete, specific needs. The advanced mode (only in Panda Antivirus 6.0 Platinum) is for experienced users, although the operation of the program can also be simplified in this mode by choosing only predetermined scans.
