ActiveScan Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when I run an online scan?

Click on Scan your PC. A new browser window will open with Panda ActiveScan. If this is your first time, you'll need to accept the ActiveX controls (8 MB download). The time it takes to download these is between 30 seconds on DSL connection to 15 minutes for a 56 Kbps modem. After that, the actual scan varies between 5 and 20 minutes, depending on the size and number of files to scan.

Is this as effective as a scan that runs from a bootable disk?

Actually, it is often more effective because bootable scan disks are not frequently updated.
A bootable scan disk is required if Windows will not start, or to remove some aggressive infections.

    If you need a bootable scan disc, these products include one on the install CD:

  • Panda Antivirus
  • Panda Antivirus+Firewall
  • Panda Internet Security

Is it compatible with my installed antivirus and anti-spyware programs?

Yes, ActiveScan is totally compatible with all brands of security programs. It is totally compatible with Norton, McAfee, Pc-Cillin, Zone Alarm, Kaspersky, F-Secure, or any other brand.

I'm running a full protection suite - why does ActiveScan still find infections?

The scan techniques in ActiveScan are tuned to be much more aggressive, because we are able to analyze the results with powerful servers. But security programs installed on your PC are limited by the computing power and signature file capacity of the PC.

Does ActiveScan "replace" my installed security program?

No, installed programs are always on while ActiveScan is on-demand. They work together for maximum protection.

Does Panda "see" any information on my computer when I run ActiveScan?

No, your files stay on your PC. The ActiveScan engine does much of the analysis right on your computer and only sends "traces" of questionable files up for stronger analysis on our servers. It's totally anonymous.
