In the list of antivirus products compromised is Panda

Are you aware of this?

has this not been rolled-out automatically as a fix/update to all machines?

or Panda updated as a download to include this fix?

I'm also interested in this. I tried to download and install the patch. However it stuck at 100%. The AV turns off automatically and CPU is stuck at 25% cpu load until I reboot. After reboot the AV works as normal again.

Is it safe to assume this has been patched so that the patch is no longer relevant?
