Panda Antivirus 2005

Newbie writting here.
You see, the other day a ran my first full clean-up with my new System Mechanic Pro 6. That same day I decided to update my Panda Antivirus 2005 to 2006, and as you know, you have to unnistall 2005 in order to install 2006. So OK, that didnt seem like a problem. I ran the Uninstaller and for my surprise, the "Application's Support files couldnt be found" and the unnistallation couldnt be completed. Im guessing System Mechanic eliminated them. So I was wondering where can I get these support files again? Can someone upload them for me?
Thanks in advance

 

Have you tried reinstalling your 2005 version so the support files are put back?

 

Tried that. Still cant install it.

 

You can't reinstall 2005? If so, are you getting an error message of some sort while attempting to do so?

 

Found this in response to the same issue you described re: support files couldn't be found.

Dear Customer

In order to uninstall the Panda Antivirus program manually proceed as follows, deleting the entries in the Registry and files detailed below. However, if at any time the entries or files cannot be found, continue with the uninstallation process, as depending on the version installed the files or entries may or may not exist.

Follow the steps below:

First attempt to remove Panda from Control Panel, Add remove programs. Once this is done, make sure that there are no Panda Services running in the Services section in Control panel. Ensure they are stopped and set to disabled.

Open the Registry from Start, Run, write REGEDIT, and click on OK. Highlight 'My Computer' at the top of the list, then go to 'Edit' and 'Find'. Type 'panda' into the box and then click on 'Find Next'. This will search the Registry for panda files. When it brings up a folder or file, press 'delete' or right-click on the highlighted file/folder and select 'delete' from the menu to remove it. Then press 'F3' to search again and find the next Panda entry.

Continue to search and delete Panda entries in the Registry until no more entries are found. Then repeat this process, this time searching for 'pav'. When both searches are complete, close the Registry and restart the computer.

Once this operation has been carried out, using Windows Explorer delete the Panda Software folder that is below C:\Program files. You should also delete the following files Windows \system: PAV.SIG, APVXD.VXD, APVXDUT.VXD, PANDA.CHP.

By carrying out these operations, Panda Antivirus will be uninstalled.

No luck, unnistalling it, if also tried with "Unnistall a program and related objects" with System Mechanic a no luck. Please someone update the files for me!

 

i have read so many bad reviews for Panda, mainly because of this reason

Panda is knows 2 delete its own files

 

Did you have System Mechanic set to create a backup of everything it deletes? If so, just reinstall the backup, then try your reinstall/uninstall.

Also, I would think if this is a registered copy of Panda, their support folks should be contacted.
