I tried to run a PANDA online scan and AVAST blocks it like it is a virus. Calling it CTX something. I always used PANDA online scan as a backup before…now I can’t. Unless there is a way to get AVAST to accept it. What can I do???
It’s not a conflict…
Blame on Panda.
These are false detections due to Panda active scan: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=12432.msg104932#msg104932

Unfortunatelly, a well-known problem of Panda not encrypting its signatures 
Every virus can be identified, because it contains some unique signatures. Antiviral programs have their own database of that signatures. We call this database the "virus definition file". When an antiviral program scans a file for viruses, it compares all the signatures (of all viruses) in the database with the signatures in that file. If the signatures match (they are the same), the file is marked as infected. For an antivirus program, it is important to hide this database of signatures somehow - e.g. by encrypting it. Panda Antivirus does not encrypt its virus database - the signatures inside are clearly "visible" to other antiviral programs, so they detect this file as infected (but there is actually no virus inside - only the signatures are the same).
If I write to panda…do I tell them to encrypt those signatures because it is causing a conflict with AVAST? And do I ask why they don’t encrypt their signatures? And thanks for answering so quickly
I think it won’t help… it’s a well-known problem. I think they keep this way to avoid people to use other antivirus in the same computer. It’s ridiculous, it’s silly, it’s pathetic. I think you’ll just lose time complaining… they won’t listen you.
About speed, well, welcome to avast forums! Indeed speed 8)
I sent them an email anyway. I agree with you…it is silly. What other online scans would you recommend. I just like having an extra online one just to see if it picks up anything different than my AVAST. I know you are not suppose to have to anti-virus on the same computer…but I just want an online scan. I really like AVAST…updates are quick and it isn’t a memory hog. Thanks for your help.

Kaspersky (very good detection rates)
ESET NOD32
Trendmicro housecall
AVGas (does not necessary if you have AVG antispyware installed)
F-Secure
BitDefender (free removal of the malware)
HitmanPro (multiply scanners)
are these free?
I doubt Tech would recommend them if you had to pay, but they are on-line scanners and they are generally free.

Sure.
David knows me ;D
If you can stay away from Panda.
