NAV 2006 & tried the removal tool from $ymantec

what bits will it not uninstall ??

I take it you have removed liveupdate etc from add remove programs ?

Dunno, but there are still Norton registry keys that can't be deleted; therefore not allowing me to install Panda Platinum.

tried a registry cleaner like ace utlities from www.acelogix.com ??

I don't want to spoil anything but I have to say that, on another site where I help out, we are seeing no end of people having trouble with Panda. Amongst things being asked is how to remove it. Once you have Panda it's even harder to get rid of than Norton.

Users are complaining there aren't any add/remove entries & a re-install doesn't work. I think there's an uninstaller in the folder somewhere, but not an Add/Remove in all cases. Panda's website isn't any help. It tells you to uninstall through a non existant add/remove entry!!

In the end you use GetServices to list all Panda services then stop and deleted them all then the folder and associated System files.

Ugly.

Several of this programs files are registered and ones in the LSP layer. Until the correct DLL is unregistered and the registry keys removed....you can not remove the folders/files for this program (based on Panda2005 I think).

There are easier free antivirus and firewall programs in the wild for you to use.

Anyway, best of luck with it all. Whatever you decide to do.

maybe his problems are a god send then ....lol

not had much dealings with Panda so did'nt realise what a pig it was to remove

Panda's easy to get rid of if you know how
You've just got to be a little patient.
