panda active scan

Isaac Hunt · 06-19-2008, 12:10 AM

I was following the steps to find and remove malware/spyware,i followed a link from this site to panda activescan.After i installed the program and went to run it i recieved a notification from Avast that it contained spyware so i aborted the connection.Im just wondering if this is a trusted program or avast has got it wrong because it has failed me before.thanks for your help.

EDIT: My apologies,i didnt see the "Avast users notice" at the bottom of the thread

I haven't used panda before for my spyware removal. I would recommend that you try downloading Spybot Search and Destroy. This is a great free program that is great.

I did a little searching with my friend google, and haven't found anything yet that says that Panda active scan has malware. So, go ahead and use it but I would recommend Spybot too.

Cheers!
