panda showing as unprotected

[cassie175]

in the system tray it says unprotected but when you open it it says on and protected.

I know i have an old computer and not all things work any more, but this used to.

i chose panda because i was told it worked with winxp

It has only just updated and scans seem to work. but i need to know it is working, without deliberately infecting my pc - how do i know it is working

Any suggestions

YOu can test your antivirus (any antivirus) from here:

if it detects the download, it is working.
If it does not detect the donwload, is not working.
