 Any removal through the Add/Remove Programs option in the Control Panel failed, because nothing regarding Panda existed in the Add/Remove listing. I proceeded to download automatic removal utilities from Panda Software. Listed below are the utilities I tried. Panda 2006 Removal Utility Panda 2007 Removal Utility Panda 2008 Removal Utility Panda 2009 Removal Utility Unfortunately, running any of the above automatic removal programs STILL did not solve the problem and I was left with the "traces of a previous installation" error. A windows service called "Panda Process Protection Service" and a driver called "Panda Process Protection Driver" remained in the system and refused to be deleted. Then I stumbled upon a Panda Security Utility that did the trick. If you are experiencing similar issues, please give this procedure a try. 1) Download the PandaSecurityUtility and save it to your desktop 2) Once the file is downloaded, double-click on it to run. For Windows Vista users, you'll want to right-click on the file and click Run as Administrator so the program has the correct permissions to uninstall the software. 3) When the utility finishes, search the computer for the file C:\Windows\RAVTC.tmp and delete it if it exists. 4) Now reset the Winsock catalog by following these directions:
6) Install Panda software (this time it should work) What began as a simple uninstall/reinstall job turned into about 4 hours of trouble, however at last the problem was solved. Hopefully, this information will save you time and headache if you run into the same type of problem.
