Panda Free Antivirus File Has Malware in it?

Post by egaeus »

I just downloaded the installation file for Panda Free Antivirus and ran it through Virus Total to check if it was clean.

Virus Total found 6 suspicious files in it. I have included a list below of the scanners and the resulting files found. Are these malware files in your downloadable version of the software or not?

Cyren: W32/Application.MATA-6669

DrWeb: Adware.Shopper.489

eGambit: PE.Heur.InvalidSig

Kaspersky: not-a-virus:WebToolbar.Win32.Agent.bhe

NANO-Antivirus: Riskware.Win32.Visicom.eykrtb

ZoneAlarm: not-a-virus:WebToolbar.Win32.Agent.bhe

You should ask the other companies why are they detecting our files as malware, no tthe other way round.

Our files do not contain malware at all.

I think its because of a toolbar, almost nobody installs a toolbar these days....
Panda should integrate their webprotection into the av program like other av vendors do.

The paying version does have the brosing protection integrated on the modular protection.

We do have both, and you can choose one or the other....

You might want to install just the web browser protection. of use the integrated one. It is up to you. ;)
