The same can be said for any AV if it 'goes sour'. We've had to reformat systems due to AVG, Norton (the worst by far lately), McAfee (next worst have to registry edit to get rid of this beast), Yes and Panda too.

Its too bad you had a bad experience with it. It works GREAT when its in good. As with installing any AV, try not to use the disk you get, download the latest version and also make sure your PC is virus free. Have it scanned by a 'known clean' system or an online scan before yo nstall. We've seen where even 1 small piece of spyware completely messes an AV install and now your reformating. Really sucks. We deal with and repair all of them on a daily basis. Yes, they are ugly when they get bent. But Panda has been the most stable, this year anyway. Who knows, next release we may go back to Norton, depends on how well it works.

Avoid Shaw's Fsecure and Telus Ecare at all costs!!!! We've had at least 15 systems again already this month where these "AV's" have completely wrecked Windows. Some we were able to recover, most we had to reformat.
