Panda Global Protection 2014

At the weekend I got a deal from QVC, Panda Global Protection 5 licences, 5 years. What I'm not sure is how it compares to other Internet Security programmes, and how it compares to Avast! which is what I use now. Am I better sticking with Avast! and just holding onto the Panda for future?

WTFH

The 5 year licence will be based on a start date ( or start year), so it's not something you can hold on to for 3 years, then expect to get it to work for 5 years after that.
My first suggestion would be to research before you buy, my second being "do not watch a shopping channel unless you NEED to buy something from them that you can't get elsewhere"

But what do others say?

I know it's 5 years from first activation of first licence. It was a good buy, £45 pounds for 5 years/devices., just I was unsure how Panda rates amongs the competition. Now that I see it's not as good as others, I shall be returning it I guess.
Yes, I know free protection is good enough, I'm a long-term Avast! user + free Privatefirewall, but feeling flush, I gone and bought a copy of Kaspersky IS, I know that tops all tests.
