Compatibility with Windows 7
February 26th, 2009
As some of you may know Microsoft is currently working on its next Operating System called Windows 7. It introduces quite some improvements in usability, efficiency and information management. It's definately worth a try.
To help you evaluate Windows 7 we've just released a beta of Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 for Windows 7. It includes the latest Panda anti-malware engine, heuristics and Collective Intelligence scanning-from-the-cloud.
You can download the beta of Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 for Windows 7 directly from here.

wow nice… thanks for info..
from indonesian,,,
I think your team had make more job to Windows Vista,because had many errors.
Hello,
Just started using Windows 7 and installed Panda Antivirus PRO 2009, it works great!
I've read about other AV's being compatible in the specs for Windows 7 but actually made a real mess after installation(boot problems etc).
Im glad we can trust you guys. Keep up the good work!

P.S.
I would love to see Managed Office Protection compatible soon!
I run it on two installation and have not (so far) run into any issues.
I tried another product before but ran into problems after installation, not to mention uninstalling the product.
Now i only am waiting for support of Windows 7 im AdminSecure.
Thanks for the comments guys. Remember that if you do have an issue you can post it either here and/or send it to beta@pandasecurity.com.
Thanks for the link, the only sad thing is that I’ve asked Panda three times for an update, without getting response.
@Jeroen, what type of update do you need? The product for Windows7 will update signature files by itself automatically.
I was using Panda for Vista/XP, and installed as a beta tester Windows 7 after their beta release. I’ve asked the supportguys from Panda several times for an update of panda to make it compatible with Seven. I never got an answer, but found the link this week by myself.
It’s working OK
I cant get Panda IS09 to work on Windows 7, help me please.
@Jayden, right now we only have Panda Antivirus Pro working under Windows 7 (download from the link above). As soon as we get Panda Internet Security QA’ed for W7 I’ll post it here.
Hi,
I'm having a problem activating the Beta on Windows 7.
I've tried both at work and home (with and without a proxy) and get the same results.
Error code: 0002:0001
Generic Error: An error occurred during product activation.
Panda can reach the internet it updates perfectly fine just can't get it to activate which is annoying because the activation badge keeps popping up during the day. Any suggestions?
Feature transfer error
Feature: NT
Component: ResidentFicherosNTPAV
File: C:\Windows\system32\PAV
Error: Access is denied
When i try to activate Panda beta for Windows 7 i receive Error Code 0002:0001 .How can i fix this
I have installed Windows 7 32bit.
Installed Panda. I like the look and its a very simple tool to use. Thanks.
1 bug:
I receive a windows notification:
The “Solve PC issues:” message in the tray.
Reads as follows:
“Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 is on but is reporting its status to Windows Security Center in a format that is no longer supported. Use the prgram’s automatic updating feature, or contact the program manufacturer for an updated version.”
I have done the auto update and rebooted tried update again, and rebooted. But it still reports the same.
Installing the windows updates now. Will post update once these have completed.
Hi again… since the above, still the same.
Windows reporting the same message above.
i have the same message Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 is on but is reporting its status to Windows Security Center in a format that is no longer supported. Use the prgram’s automatic updating feature, or contact the program manufacturer for an updated version. any solutions.
Same issue as T. Ruiz and Sam — “Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 is on but is reporting its status to Windows Security Center in a format that is no longer supported.” Not an earth shaking issue but one that should be fixed.
I’m also getting the Error code: 0002:0001 when I try to register. I’ve searched and found nothing I can do to get rid of it. I think the Panda beta is coming off of my machine pretty quick. There’s plenty of other options for Windows 7 that won’t be popping up all over the place.
I also receive the windows notification:
The “Solve PC issues:” message in the tray.
Reads as follows:
“Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 is on but is reporting its status to Windows Security Center in a format that is no longer supported. Use the prgram’s automatic updating feature, or contact the program manufacturer for an updated version.”
I reported this issue right after installing RC7100 of Windows 7 and got no response. Also the confirmation email I receive does not display text in my email so I am using this method again.
I have downloaded again today, uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, and run updates. No improvement.
I give up.
I am also recieving the warning from Win7 about the incorrect reporting status of Panda , any news on when this is going to be fixed?

No fix as of yet.
Panda 2009 for Win 7 installed great, updates great but will not activate! No matter where you go, home work, wi-fi, it just will not activate. It immediately tells you it cannot connect to the server to activate…I mean it does this so fast it couldn’t even be trying to connect! Any ideas?
I’m also hitting the “Error 0002:0001″ thing where I can’t connect to the Panda Service for activation…
Anyone from Panda listening to all of us with the issue?
@Stephen & all, please post this at our support forums at http://support.pandasecurity.com/forum.
Just had my first issue with Panda and Windowa 7, and have been running the two for about 10 weeks now. The problem reads: Panda Security Software has been blocked from running because it might prevent your computer from starting correctly in the future.
I am looking to see if there is an update or anything. Am also reinstalling to make sure my version has not become corrupted for some reason.
Hello, some time ago, I bought Panda Global Protection and now, I try to install it on windows 7 but it didn’t work. Is there any way to put it working on windows 7?
Hi
I have just installed Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 Beta test version for Windows ver 7 and Windows action centre reports “Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 is on but is reporting its status to Windows Security Center in a format that is no longer supported. Use the prgram’s automatic updating feature, or contact the program manufacturer for an updated version.” I see others have had this problem for sme time is there a solution comming? In other respects it looks a great product.

That was two weeks ago, still no fix, eh?
@Stephen (& the rest), we’re also working on the W7 compatibility for the 2010 products and will release that asap. Check back in a few weeks.
@All with W7 compatibility message from Windows Security Center, please read the following post from Microsoft:

Hi Pedro
do you think Panda will appear on this Microsoft site for Windows 7?
http://www.readyset7.com/
Having not long purchased Panda Internet Security 2009 and subscribed until May 2010, I suddenly find myself with a dilemma, as from October I will be running Windows 7 and I suddenly find that I cannot run Panda I.S on it? I have seen a few vague postings about an “upgrade patch” to Panda I.S but could someone confirm that Pandas I.S 2009 WILL be made compatible with Windows 7?? Thanks!
@UKS2000, yes I confirm that PandaIS (and the rest of Panda products for consumers and companies) will be made compatible with Windows 7 at the same time as Microsoft officially releases Windows 7 (October 22nd is the date if I’m correct).
It’s great to hear that panda will be made compatible for the full release…but what do for anti-virus till then…we’ve paid our subscriptions to use these programs, and now lose a couple of months worth of this, waiting for them to release a patch, and it is great that they have made Panda AntiVirus Beta compatible, but on a trial which you then have to buy on top of the subscription you already have…why not give us a client only extended trial till the compatible release is made, or even until our subscriptions are due for renewal??
@David, you can either install the beta for Windows 7 (link above) or write me a message with your customerID and we’ll look at the time left and add some months if necessary.
Pedro,
I too have been a customer from the beginning, I get the activation error as well,,the only way I can update the signatures etc. is to uninstall and reinstall every week!! I would think this would not be a hard fix for you guys, a simple patch would suffice, but to ignore the paying customers and wait until Windows 7 is fully released well, thats disturbing! I update my 3 year subscription every year, now I am rethinking..
GNB
@Glenn, we are pushing out a hotfix to fix this. You should get it automatically soon to fix this problem.
HI… Windows 7 RTM is out on technet and i have it installed….

Feature transfer error

How do i resolve the above error
@kumar I believe this is fixed. Please check our Support Forums at http://support.pandasecurity.com/forum
I’m also hitting the “Error 0002:0001″ thing where I can’t connect to the Panda Service for activation…
Anyone from Panda listening to all of us with the issue?
Same thing I am getting tryin to activate….Panda people don’t seem to reply in here..?? OK on to another someone elses virus protection.
@Paul, please post technical support issues at our Support Forums:

Hi!
Can you tell us approximate date when Panda IS will be compatible with windows 7?
Regards
@Raziel, we will release the final versions at about the same time as the official Microsoft general availability release date (mid October).
Could you tell us when the Panda For Desktops is going to be Windows 7 compatible ? We have many business customers on Software Assurance licences that have had access to Windows 7 since August 7th.
many thanks
@Phil, I don’t have the exact date but it’ll be around mid-October, with probably a beta version available in September.
i was able to successfully install IS2010, but warning to those trying, or peeps reading this, it will cause explorer to just keep crashing after restart…
anyone who has installed it and is having this issue, needs to restart in safe mode, delete the folder (8 files can’t be deleted), then download the uninstaller for IS2009, run that, and it fully removes the remnants.
it’ll be nice once it’s working “officially” on win7
Panda internet security 2009 is on but is reporting its status to Windows Security Center in a format that is no longer supported. I have vista, but will be moving to Windows 7
