I just downloaded this piece of crap and it's horrible, it's slowed my machine down, delaying all applications I tried uninstalling it and it just STOPS 1/4 through it, it doesn't freeze or say "not responding" it just fuckin stops. Anyone else have a problem like this? How did you guys fix it?<br />

<p>I've never heard of that one bro, sorry. When you get it fixed, a great free Anti Virus I've used is AVG Free.</p><p><a href="http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5" target="_blank">Here's the download page.</a></p>

I don't know about downloading it, but I bought a hard copy of the Panda '05 so this info may not apply, but...
I've seen that happen to two other computers that tried to used the software after me. The same thing happened that you desribed. I didn't happen to me however and I think this is why...
I didn't install the firewall protection. I didn't because, knowing Panda, I figured it was way too hardcore for what I need. What really surprised me was that the firewall checks EVERY APP YOU OPEN, even when not online. I only found that out when I forgot to tell the two other people, who just wanted to use it for a quick fix, no to install the firewall.
So I think it's the firewall. My suggestion is to try to download it again if you can and opt out of the firewall protection. Your browser might run slower when you first sign on, but that is just panda downloading all the new virus sigs. It usually only lasts a minute or so.
Well I hope this helps.
