Avast sees Panda AV as malware

Installed Panda AV in a Win 7 VM and all went well. But the host OS (Win 8.1) with Avast did not like the executable and gave me several options NONE of which included “ignore”. I had to disable Avast so the Panda download could continue. FYI. Cheers. :stuck_out_tongue:

The odd thing is, if I manually scan it with avast, its clean. Its avasts auto scan which picks it up as malware.

Not to run more the one AV is old news, and you just found one of the many reasons

You misunderstood. I am not running 2 AVs in same OS. One AV (Avast) for Win 8.1 (host) and the other, Panda, in Win 7 (guest) in a virtual machine. I had downloaded the Panda AV from the host OS but not run it. Avast simply scanned it and picked it up as malware before it was even installed in guest OS.

Yes i did see that .... and still no surprise that one AV detecte the install file of another, just like the tools used by this forums malware removal team, they are frequently detected

Hello, detection was disabled.
It was fixed by stream and it will be in next vps.
