Overview
The most common release is 2.0.2.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC.

Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named Panda_URL_Filtering.exe. The setup package generally installs about 7 files and is usually about 629.93 KB (645,048 bytes).
Panda Security URL Filtering has been found to be bundled with 3rd party software. If you have not purposefully installed this, you should be safe uninstalling it.
