Avira AntiVir & Panda ActiveScan

I cannot run Panda Security's ActiveScan with Avira's Anti Virus because I keep getting notifications from Avira saying Panda has a windows virus. What exactly is happening here?

I have attached a screenshot for review.

Re: Avira AntiVir & Panda ActiveScan

Avira is probably detecting some malware strings in the database of Panda. It's recommended to disable/turn off the resident antivirus while performing an online scan.

Re: Avira AntiVir & Panda ActiveScan

Tell me if I understand this correctly...

Panda's scan has files that are named after malware and my anti-virus is thinking its the actual malware.

Re: Avira AntiVir & Panda ActiveScan

There's also a good possibility that you may have infected files in quarantine and that these are being detected and reported, revelry. If that's the case you can delete the quarantined files and and you won't get the warnings from Avira.

Re: Avira AntiVir & Panda ActiveScan

@ revelry
Yes, it's something like that.

@Chode

It would have been correct if Panda Online scan was the one reporting. However, it's the resident antivirus, Avira, which is flagging them.
