Hi guys. I wanted to uninstall panda internet security with free antivirus trials,
because it is just a horrible program, slowing my Surface pro 3 down by alot.

 

Now mid uninstall everything freezes, forcing me to do a hard reboot. not even task manager or charms would work :'(

Now everything turned on again but the frigging panda program is still here.
When i try to uninstall it through the programs menu a Spanish error message pops up telling me that something went wrong 
and pointing towards some error log in the temporary data of my pc

How do i get this program of mah damn PC?!?!?!

PS: Panda bricked my surface already back in spring when they released a bad update,
but i thought they have learned from their mistakes so why not try it out again?

It worked! Thank you so much! finally got rid of this pesky shitty Antivirus

No worries! :)

 

Also, I'd recommend Avast!, It's great once you turn off the silly features it has (browser addons and rating system) and set it to silent/gaming mode. Not had an issue involving virus/malware for the last 5+ years while using it with Malwarebytes.

Is it the free or paid version you use? I already have malwarebytes, used it with win defender together but win defender is just so annoying.

It will randomly start scanning your pc in the middle of a gaming session

I've always used the free version :)

 

And to be honest I completely disable Windows Defender / Security essentials haha, it's far too annoying.
