Hi,

Do the following and get rid of the problem:

Search your computer for the file c:windowsRAVTC.tmp and delete it if it exists.

Now reset the Winsock catalog by following direction:

• Click Start and Run
• Type CMD and press Enter
• Type 'netsh winsock reset catalog' and press Enter
• Type Exit and press Enter
• Restart your computer.

Now again install panda software. This time it should be ok.

• After that you will double-click on it in order to run it.
• In case your operating system is Windows Vista or Windows 7 users, you will have to right-click on the file and then click Run as Administrator so that the program has the correct permissions to uninstall the software.
