Solved Won't recognize?

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

Windows won't recognize the AV installed, despite that its running, displays in action center, Turn on AV?

Thanks.

 

[Alexey2912]

Installed Panda Free AV, now none messages displayed from action center.

But, if I restore a backup with Panda AV, same message reappears and issues with windows firewall......strange, why.....any expert thoughts? :huh:

Thanks.



Showing screenshot of Panda AV Free services......doesn't give the option of custom install?

This Panda AV is not suitable in your case.

I suggest you to look for others free antivirus, such as;

As there are many others better choice and free version.


Although, i have being using for 10+ years ago on the Panda Internet Security, on several computers and laptops.

But i do not use Panda AV as this is a poor choice.

The original purpose is not for full protection, but as ad-hoc usage.
That is for checking USB devices, eg HDD, thumb drive, flask drive, etc.

The original of this Panda AV come loaded in USB thumb/flash drive.

Thanks for your expert reply.

Care to recommend any, Avast Free, AVG or Avira?

Any methods, tools to clean uninstall Panda Free AV, besides Revo?

Thanks.

Hi,
Weird mine is on as usual


Personally it is as good as any free av but not being recognized by windows is very odd to say the least
Keeping in mind I also have mbam premium

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

It's surprising, but may be not since you have MBAM Pro.

I tried Avast Free, it isn't recognized, Panda Free isn't recognized on restoring a backup.

Free AV that I installed and is recognized, is Avira but is heavy on resources vs the rest.....may be I'll go without one, with smart surfing.....

The sched.exe service, AV Host Framework runs with it but not with Avast or Panda, could it be that.....

Thanks!


Edit:

In total 6 services for Avira....

Hi,
Sure does take up a tad

You need to first get your OS clean.
You also have this thread/problem:
Kb3182203?
I don't see the new thread you mentioned.

If you have changed AV products without using the AV uninstaller there could be remnants left causing your problems.

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

You have Panda AV Console and PDMon.exe, running besides MBAM.....strange how you get the option of a custom install on the free version.

Thanks.

I agree DavidE, need to clean install W7 again.

Thanks.

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi DavidE,

Are the sfc scan errors fixable or need a clean install, in your expert opinion?

Thanks.

 

[DavidE]

You're welcome.
I don't know if/how to fix the SFC errors, i'm not that good
There are some really good folks here that might be able to help fix them.
Maybe they will see your threads and logs and offer help with a fix !

fwiw, i use these AV products without problems
Win 7 - Avast free
Win 8.1 - Avira free
Win 10 (RTM) - Panda free
Win 10 (insider) - Windows Defender

Hi,
Not really sure it's a custom install of panda it is just reading and unchecking the 3 items that have nothing to do with av
One I'm sure was panda toolbar the other two options escape me what they were ?

Not a whole lot different than avast installer offers except panda has fewer crapware added than avast does seeing both download redirect to cnet pup factory of crapware bundling :roflmao:

 

[Alexey2912]

Thanks for replying.

I'm amazed, but maybe not cause your W7 install must be perfect , that you can install Avast Free without an action center message.

I donno why I can't install an error free W7........

I do uncheck the 3 options on start of a Panda install, (set as home page, URL, etc), but still get 3 services running vs yours.....

Hi,
Yea I'm not sure how many processes there are or supposed to be for panda or why you had difficulty with installing it
I wouldn't say my installs are in any way perfect all updates did come from microsoft :mad2:
